It's not as atmospheric and artful, nor does it exude the same visceral sense of place [as French series "Les Revenants"]. But taken on its own, it is an absorbing, well-paced, thoughtfully rendered production with a quality cast that ranks as one of the better new winter shows.
Handled correctly, this has “Lost” potential.

I just love this series, its the closest they've come up to the x-files yet. Every episode starts good and gets better towards the end. No boring comedy or acting here. I just finished watching the end of season **** cant wait for September to watch season 2, I just hope they don't cancel with a cliffhanger then...keep it up ABC!

SEASON 1
It’s sometimes gripping, the acting is good, and for many it will seem fresh.
When Resurrection focuses on Jacob and his family, the actors and the concept carry it. But hours must be filled, and the more the show expands to include other Arcadians, most of whom are tiresome, the weaker it becomes.
The first 20 minutes of Resurrection are terrifically emotional and engrossing. When the focus is on Jacob and his parents, the show is a real heart-tugger. But then it gets into family soap opera territory (what big secrets have family members kept from one another!) and the mystery returns when another dead person is found to be alive.
Resurrection starts out well enough.... All too soon, however, the mystery turns into soapy melodrama, and the supernatural is superseded by the clichés of network drama.
Nothing could bring this show life.
Having seen two episodes now, I like Resurrection a little bit more than after only seeing the pilot. I suggest if you try this show you do the same if the pilot doesn't capture you enough. I would like to confirm that there are in fact more people being "returned" then just the stupid boy in episode 1 who doesnt even seem to realize he's 30 years in the future because ... he's an idiot?
The show is VERY slow paced, and raises more questions than it answers. But its heart warming... and you want those answers... and the doctor girl is pretty, and you like Omar Epps from House, so it's not terrible. But it's certainly going to get canceled. Oh yeah.

No tan buena, creo que su mayor problema es que vivirá en la sombra de Les Revenants, lo que no hace mas que dañarla aún porque está lejos de llegar siquiera a tocarle los talones.
Para mi el principal problema es que el actor que interpreta al niño no es para nada creíble, menos mal que tiene pocas lineas porque si no dejaría mas en evidencia lo grande que el queda el papel.

I really wanted to see this show and now I couldn't care less. what are they aliens, clones, demons, I can't make out what is going on, you would think homeland security would be there in force instead they have one immigration agent? huh. people coming back from the dead, nobody cares, give me a break. If it was real life the press would be all over the town. A bit like the dome, I can't remember what happened in the end of that dull series either.

SEASON 1
All premise and no soul, this is nothing but a weak, shameless ripoff of France's The Returned - which is on Netflix, BTW. Resurrection is an hour of talented yet obviously bored actors reciting the laziest script imaginable; they're not given anything challenging or even remotely interesting to do. As a result you have characters who all seem to be going through the same personality disorder, namely, the lack of a personality. Equally annoying is how these people do little more than take turns giving us explanations of everything that's recently happened on screen, lest the audience ever feel confused or intrigued for more than 15 seconds. This is only enjoyable in the way that Tommy Wiseau's The Room was.
