As everyone knows, this is a remake of the french TV series "Les Revenants". The original show starts a little slow and doesn't have near the budget that the US remake does but the two shows are simply night and day in terms of quality television. I won't go into details since I want this review to be spoiler free but if you haven't watched the original french show, do yourself a huge favor and watch it (it's on Netflix). The US version just has poor acting and poor writing to say the least. It appeals to the lowest common denominator which seems like the major network's M.O. in today's world. It makes sure to check off all of it's typical casting requirement boxes even though those casting choices are simply put... horrible. The entire story and the character development lose so much in the translation that the show is a vague shadowy reflection of the original. Like most network TV nowadays this show has no soul, no intellect and lacks any real emotional connection.
score 3/10
