The Returned (2015)
9/10
Great show
3 February 2018
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.
