I didn't know this was a remake of another show. I enjoyed watching this and it was something different to watch. Plus, it also makes you think about who would you want to come back if it was possible. Naturally, even if the technology was there to bring someone back who had been dead for years there is no way it would be done no matter how much people would want it so. Why? Because this world is getting over populated as it is and if people came back then we would be in a lot of trouble. After all there are more dead people than living on this planet.
Hence I love SC-FI series it gives me some escapism from the real world. Some series even make me think 'What if...'
I've been waiting and waiting for the second series but gathering from reading some of your reviews there is not to be one. Disappointed! I hate it when you get into a TV Series and then somebody sat behind a desk out of touch with 'real' people just decide to stop filming a series. I know, before somebody berates me, that if the series is not doing so well then they pull the plug. It's all about the money and not what the viewer wants. They did the same to Stargate Universe. But that's another review I have to write.
