Anyone know what is going on ?

something to do with the dam and the dead coming back for some closure or something

I think there's some difference between the 'old' dead and the 'new' dead, but I can't be sure about it; also, what's the significance of the baby??

Either way, this has been brilliant TV - the visuals, performances and unhurried pacing are an absolute joy; very much looking forward to the next series.

Great series but cop out ending, getting a bit tired of these go nowhere series - lets hope series 2 is the last and gives real closure. We don't want another Lost.

I'm not convinced that Lost was written before it was filmed, so I don't think even they knew the outcome of most of the weird story lines when they started them; I understand that the Returned is based on a pre-existing book/film, so no danger of that.

I was thoroughly satisfied with the ending - enough questions answered with plenty left unanswered; can't wait for series 2, although it looks like a long one - next year I gather.

Not to mention the atmospheric music by Mogwai - really effective.

Thought the end of series 1 was good and leaves enough questions to set up the next series.
