This review contains spoiler, please do not watch it before watching Season 1. This review and the current rating is based on Season 1.
One of the perks of staying in the US for a while is the chance of watching TV shows freshly from the oven. The previews of Resurrection made me really interested in this show because this idea is very-very fascinating. I haven't seen the original French series yet, so this is not a comparison, it's the impression the first season made me have on its own merit.
So far, it is quite disappointing. The first episode was pretty good and the season finale was quite good again, containing all the action that was so disturbingly missing from the rest of the season. Because all the in-between episodes either bored me senseless or just left me contemplating how is it possible to push so many unrealistic reactions of people into 6 short episodes.
My problems are:
To sum it up: the first and last episodes of the season are pretty good, the rest is pretty much a waste of time. The season finale should have been episode 2. But they did manage to regain my interest, let's see where it goes in Season 2.

My problems are:
- Why is it that Jacob showed up in the other side of the world while everybody else appeared in or near Arcadia? (Well, maybe we'll get an answer to that one. Of course I don't expect them to reveal everything so early.)
- Do they seriously let a single agent (from Immigration and Custom Enforcement from all places, with all due respect) handle a problem of such a caliber for such a long time?
- Why did nobody truly freak out until the season finale?
- Are you seriously trying to convince me that no one broke the news to the media, to the FBI or to the army (and probably in this order)?
- Why was everything happening so terribly slowly?
To sum it up: the first and last episodes of the season are pretty good, the rest is pretty much a waste of time. The season finale should have been episode 2. But they did manage to regain my interest, let's see where it goes in Season 2.
