I personally found The Returned to be quite tedious. It was slow to evolve into something interesting and came across as quite predictable.
Everybody seems to be annoyed at how it isn't as great as the french version but forget about the french version hasn't anyone ever seen the show The 4400. They can change it up all they like but it's too similar, even down to the creepy "special kid".
I thought it might be interesting but I don't want to see another remake of this concept. The cast are all mediocre, not technically bad actors but just boring and missing that star presence.
Give it a miss as it ends before it really got a chance to start. You'll be left with many questions and an unsatisfied feeling.
