In this drama series, a group of Arcadia residents live in true peace where they live the same conditions and daily paths. In a short period of time, these conditions have changed, as the lives of Arcadia, Missouri, have changed forever because of the return of their deceased loved ones. Things turn upside down when these people face different paths of life in front of these new returnees.
Resurrection shouldn't need to pad out episodes with implications of buried affairs and a possible murder. That they're likely not going to be is disappointing, but not surprising in the tradition of network television trying to take on ambitious ideas.
Give ABC credit for at least realizing that there is a spiritual element inherent to the notion of the dead returning to life and taking up that idea in the face of zombie mania.
Part sappy drama, part supernatural whodunnit, Resurrection suffers greatly from following on the heels of Sundance's airing of the far superior French series The Returned, which bore an almost identical plot.
Resurrection is similar in premise to Sundance Channel's The Returned. The ABC show is more blandly cast and written, but it's still capable on occasion of hitting you in the gut emotionally, if not scrambling your brains.
An emotionally engrossing, but also macabre, morbid, and mercilessly mockable meditation on faith, religion, and miracles mixed with procedural mystery.
It's a sentimental show to be sure, but it's almost refreshingly straightforward in its sentimentality and there's something heartbreaking in the performances of Kurtwood Smith and Frances Fisher.
