So there's this new show called Resurrection that started last week. It sounded interesting, but it looked like it could also suck so I checked out the reviews first. Sure enough, all the reviews said the show was nothing special and was a blatant rip off a french show called The Returned. Every single review I read mentioned this french show and how awesome it was and how you were basically wasting your time watching Resurrection when you should go out and find this french show instead.

So I found it for sale on Amazon Instant video. Bought the first season (8 episodes) for like $10. Just watched the first ep and holy shit is it good. So good that its 1:30am and I'm gonna watch ep. 2 cause I can't wait till tomorrow.

Gist of the plot: Small town in the mountains in France. One night all these people who died years ago just start showing up and thinking that nothing ever happened to them. Needless to say, people have moved on or some are still grieving and then all of the sudden their loved ones walk in the door. Lots of crazy shit i can't explain cause I'm only 1 ep in, but so far it has the making of a great show.

Just got picked up for another season on Sundance. Won an international Emmy for best drama. Killing it in several countries. I'm 3 ep's in and its starting to look like a serious contender for best show on tv.

Game of Arms is best show on TV. At least for men.
