Directed by Daniel Attias (who has assisted in directing
duties with such legends as Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola) and
written by Aaron Zelman
(of CSI and Law and Order Fame) comes Resurrection.
Based on the book “The Returned” by Jason Mott which was
brought to life the first time in the French movie and TV Series “Les Revenants”,
Resurrection claims to flow from a different source. However, when reviewing content and overall
storyline there is barely a shade of grey of difference other than language.
Lovers of supernatural TV will be engrossed in this fantasy
drama television show. I found myself
going through several rounds of goose bumps in Episode 1 alone.
A quick synopsis: (without spoilers) The series follows the residents of Arcadia,
Missouri, whose lives are upended when their loved ones return from the
dead, un-aged since their deaths.
The well composed scenes allow the audience to feel what is happening and internalise
the emotion by providing an excellent balance of dialogue and silence which allows
the viewer to sink into Arcadia.
The seasoned cast delivers outstanding performances that
further draw in the audience with believability that allows you to get lost in
their stories.
Season 1 began on ABC in March 2014 and I urge you to watch
it before season 2 starts in the Fall of this year. I can’t get enough!
