The Returned (2012–2015)
8/10
Was a winner but fell (no walked off the track) at the final hurdle

Warning: Spoilers
This was a really interesting series that had me gripped for the most part. The story line and acting was very good. The idea of people coming back from the dead and the reactions of friends and family made for great viewing. The series had great suspense and a creepy atmosphere and it left one wondering whether certain characters had good or bad intentions.

There were a few things that seemed silly – such as the parents who seemed unperturbed when their daughter went missing - oh well, only a killer on the loose! – but overall the story was developing well. I couldn't wait to watch each episode as the secrets about the characters were revealed.

It was building up to what I thought would be an exciting finale. However, what a let down! The final episode was a complete and utter waste of time – pointless. Where were the answers? I feel so cheated that I now wish I missed that episode. At least then I would be under the illusion that I missed out on something great and would be inclined to watch series 2. Now, I'm not sure I will bother.
