Then any story that depicts any painful human experiences is somehow exploiting people?! That makes no sense. Americans have a deep fear of death and everything surrounding it. That's why we were the last Western country to accept hospice because we want to rush our dying to a hospital whether they can be fixed or not. We send the remains of our dead to funeral homes and only lately have some begun to take care of their dead at home. It's not against the law as many people think. It's just that we want to be distanced from death.

No one knows for certain what happens after we die and that leaves the subject open to interpretation and musing by writers, poets, etc.. I think I will watch the new show. It deserves a chance. It's a fascinating topic.

I've buried my mother, my sister, my daughter and my granddaughter. I do not fear death. I simply have no interest in this show.

I was not directing my response to any particular person, I just meant that we all make choices every day and with all the media competing for our attention, I choose to edit based on my own bias as does every person whether they realize it or not. It may be a good series but I only have so many hours in my life.

It's based on "The Returned" a French Series that aired on Sundance this past Summer.

We loved the French version. I hope the English spin off does it justice.

And I think The Returned is a book. I downloaded a couple of "stories" or excerpts from it. Interesting. But I wasn't interested in buying the book.

I guess this is ABC or a cable channel, as I haven't seen the promos.

There's the book and a movie called "They Came Back" as well.

Good franchise.

I know what you mean- that is why I keep refusing to get Tivo.. I don't even have time to watch what is ON, let alone what I missed! LOL!

I watched the series on Sundance, and LOVED it!! Can't wait for the second season.

I've been curious about Resurrection, and plan on checking it out.

[betteb]

I'm looking forward to checking out this show. The cast looks really good.

If anyone cares to have a sneak peek (more than what you see in the commercials) there is a website.

Premiers Sunday 3/9 at 8pm central.
