The city of Wausau has endlessly been modified on the brand new Syfy collection Revival. All of a sudden, individuals who died inside a two-week interval got here again to life, for essentially the most half, seemingly regular. (They do heal from any postmortem accidents.)

It’s not simply that she’s a reviver. It’s that the worst attainable factor they may think about — their sister, daughter getting harm this manner — truly occurred. In order that creates simply attention-grabbing battle. It creates attention-grabbing storytelling.”
