One miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly return to life. But these are not zombies, as the "revived" appear and behave just as they did before. As the mystery of this phenomenon fuels unrest, Dana Cypress, a down-on-her-luck and crass police officer and single mother, is thrust into a peculiar murder investigation-one where the murder victim is now alive, and everyone, whether living or revived, is a suspect.

Critics Consensus

Revival capitalizes on its crackerjack concept with an entertaining tonal variety, bolstered by Melanie Scrofano's captivating lead performance.

Amber Dowling

Globe and Mail

Revival isn’t top-notch television, nor is it going to redefine the zombie genre. But over the first six episodes... it is a somewhat faithful adaptation of a beloved series with a beloved lead.

The Daily Beast

A novel twist on a familiar premise, and bound to entice those who can’t get enough of the undead.

The Hollywood Reporter

Revival might not have sufficient bite to leave a mark. But as simply a fun mystery to escape into, familiar enough to be comforting but fresh enough to feel unpredictable, it does what it has to do.

Thanks to the appealing cast, especially Scrofano’s dry wit, it’s already charming and very much in the vein of Wynonna Earp, Resident Alien, or even Buffy in its heyday: catnip for a particular slice of this site’s genre-loving crowd.

IGN Movies

Even as the tone shifts wildly from comedy to horror, an excellent performance from star Melanie Scrofano keeps things from going fully off the rails.

Rated: 6/10

I love this show! The dialogue is fresh and fun. It has mystery and a great family dynamic that makes it stand out from other "zombie" shows. The characters are great, especially the sisters. The acting is great.

Everything about this series screams cheap, low quality but, I’d still watch it. It is bad but not tragically bad.

The characters are unlikable and one-dimensional, and the acting was phoned in with a clearly budget cast. It's watchable purely out of the promise of murder mystery and zombies. Original show seems to have kept all the artistic vision to itself.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
