    This show has definitely lost its shine. There was no cohesion in this season. The near 3 year production delay is obvious because the children are noticeably older. Main characters take a back seat this season and the finale is awful. Too many questions remain, which makes it very unsatisfying. The excellent soundtrack is also underused.

    There is a quiet naturalism to the production, quite distinct from Hollywood horror, in which every trick in the audio-visual book is marshaled to jolt you as far as possible out of your seat when the scare comes, and also from supposedly found-footage films ("The Blair Witch Project" and its progeny) that use aesthetic chaos to suggest actuality. This is altogether more mature.

    The achievement of The Returned is that it creates its frights chiefly from an atmosphere of the quietly uncanny. Indeed, the show is at its best when it’s impossible to tell who is more dead: the returned population, or the living whose souls have expired from despair.

    It’s all very complicated, but at the same time easy to follow and terribly mesmerizing and haunting.
