The first is Jacob, an 8-year-old boy who drowned 30 years earlier.

The question, “What is ‘Resurrection?’” as in is it a hit or a dud, is tough to answer, critics haven’t yet seen the pilot episode, and there are no reviews making the rounds. But the ABC new TV series has been generating plenty of buzz, and given the star power of Epps, as well as the fact that Brad Pitt’s Plan B production company is listed among the show’s producers, bodes well for the “Resurrection.”
