Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Paul Evans I loved the first few episodes, the opener in particular, it was fantastic, absorbing, interesting, and it had you asking a load of questions, such as, 'were the returned back to punish?' 'What would you do if you came face to face with somebody you'd grieved for? and 'Why was that kid so creepy?I must admit my interest did fall off a little towards the end, some things were dragged out a little too much, some of the characters became a little uninteresting. It shouldn't have been cancelled, up until about part six you're treated to some compelling viewing, there was definitely more material in this show, Jeremy Sisto's character Peter was very interesting.I'm sure fans feel short changed by its early finish, but honestly, half way through it ran out of steam after a hugely promising start. 6/10

Ian Rupert I binge watched this in about three days recently while on a small MEW kick. I can't understand why nobody watched this show, I thought it was great. The characters were great and well acted, the story was great, it had great pacing and kept you wondering. I knew going in that there was a cliffhanger ending and no season 2. I feel bad for the people who were watching when it was actually on, and didn't know it would be left without anything close to an ending to the story. I see the usual jabs taken at Americans in the negative reviews. I guess that's the cool thing to do these days. Bash Americans and act superior for liking the original more. I am American and have no problem watching foreign movies and shows, but a lot of people don't like subtitles and if a show isn't on their normal networks, they usually don't seek it out. If people didn't watch this one enough to keep making it, do you really think the French version would have drawn in more viewers? I doubt it. It's all about viewers and viewers = money. I liked the story, so I WILL seek out the French version. People shouldn't be so mad about the US version, I am sure it did nothing but bring more viewers to the original series. So, go easy on it.

zemoguy Great Series!...I Very rarely write or review anything but lets say it how it is with regard to The Returned and it's quite simple. Firstly, you really do not need to be a professional reviewer or an intellectual to know what you do or do not like when it comes to a TV series. In this instance I downloaded this series and watched each episode over a period of 3 evenings. Usually any viewer would know by the end of either the first or second episode whether they are hooked by the series or end up watching each episode under duress. In my case I was hooked by whole series and by the well rounded performances of the actors and the clever plots and subplots. Sadly, it wasn't until I reached episode 8 and wondered where the series was going that I found out that there was no plans for a second series. It's a major shame and criminal that there are Television companies out there that are legally allowed to dangle Television series in front of its viewers and then deprive them of a follow up series or, at least, a well rounded finale to the whole series. The French counterpart to this series, Les Revenants, at least had the decency to film a second series. Putting the Television viewer first, before its ratings! Shame on you A&E Studios!

sstinkham Please, bring The Returned back. My daughter's and I binged watched for two day's, even told friends about the show and now they are watching and upset there will not be a second season, after cancellation. The story line is compelling and the setting is beautiful. We love to find out why Camille kills the teen boy through sex, why did Peter grow old and the little boy Henry stayed young. Will Adam now kill Lena when he finds her in the woods and blame her for his bother's death. Will Rowan ever find out of Tommy's deception of how Simon really died. Did Simon's premonition come to pass given that Helens lit match go's out.Such a climatic finale and now no second season.Sarah
