IT was the much-hyped TV show which created more questions than it answered and probably lost a few fans along the way. (Spoiler alert)
While the ending was sudden and a strange way to cap off the series the final scene had one big revelation - agent Bellamy's identity.
While twitter was abuzz with viewers questioning the way it ended many were blown away by his connection with the returned.
Others felt the ending didn't answer much at all and left viewers hanging.
Either way few would have predicted the twist in Bellamy's connection.
Resurrection managed a whopping 1.9 million viewers when it hit Aussie screens back in March, but numbers began to drop, with many commenting that Seven's supernatural thriller was "too weird". Last week it managed just 782,000 viewers.
RESURRECTION: The show everyone was talking about
But for those who hung on for the eight episodes, the final scene was a reward worth waiting for — it finally answered what the hell government agent, J Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps) is doing in a small town dealing with an issue which he should long have wiped his hands of.

Days after Jacob Langston and Caleb Richards return from the dead they are soon joined by Rachel.
A raft of twists and turns and a whole heap of questions later and the town of Arcadia is in chaos after being inundated with hundreds more resurrected people.
The military has stepped in to help maintain control after Agent Bellamy is forced to call his boss to deal with the crisis. He then not only has a hostile sheriff but an angry town on his hands as well.
Some of the town fear the returned while others are glad long-lost loved ones are back from the dead and Agent Bellamy has his hands full protecting Jacob.
But it wasn't until the very last scene of the show when Bellamy's identity is revealed — and his role becomes clear.

Wind back to the scene the night before and a returned African American family, the Thompsons, are staying with the Langstons after their daughter Jenny befriended Jacob.
The parents reveal they drowned years before but their young baby Robert didn't "come back" with them.
Henry Langston tells the couple he has a brother (Sherriff Fred Langston) and can watch out for Robert and, much to Mrs Thompson's relief, she tells Henry her son has a scar on the back of his neck "like a crescent".
In the last scene of the finale, viewers see Agent Bellamy and Jacob escape, before they stop on a dirt road to examine some bugs.
Suddenly, he and Jacob are surrounded by a swarm of cars and a helicopter and as Jacob grabs his saviour he reveals a mark on the back of his neck — in the shape of a crescent.
Yes, it appears Agent Bellamy is the son and apparently missing Robert Thompson.
The sudden end will no doubt leave viewers intrigued enough to see what happens next season.
Here are the other heart-stopping moments from the finale:
• Rachel looking down at her own dead body in the morgue. She had been shot the episode before and came back from the dead for the second time.
• Maggie meeting the dead mother she lost when she was a baby. Firstly, Maggie seems older than her mum Barbara. But Barbara also drops a bombshell revelation about her own father (Sheriff Langston). She also reveals she had been back in town for a week but had chosen instead to stay with her lover Sam, who she had been having an affair with before she died.
• The moment Sheriff Langston cries and hugs his long lost wife Barbara. Overjoyed his wife is alive again, Sheriff Langston tells his wife he forgives the past and understands — only for Barbara to reveal it's too late and she is now with her lover. He seems to accept her decision, but loses the plot while watching old video footage of her and Maggie.

• The moment Sheriff Langston plans his revenge on Barbara and the returned. Agent Bellamy's boss has called in the military on the understanding they were helping flood victims. But an angry and vengeful Sherriff Langston tells the military head "these people are dangerous" and they need to concentrate on protecting the living, not the dead, before revealing the real reason they are here to help.
• The phone call the Langstons receive telling them to come to the high school. The call purportedly from the Sheriff's office tells them they need to bring Jacob to the school for flu shots and other procedures, unaware it is actually a trap.
• Agent Bellamy and Maggie realise they are part of the trap. Trapped inside the school hall with the returned the pair realise they have no phone signal and along with Pastor Tom devise a plan to get out of there, freeing as many of the returned as possible.

• When the Langstons tearfully ask Agent Bellamy to take their son and escape. Realising the school setting was a trap for the returned and in particular, Barbara, Agent Bellamy sent the Langstons home but heads over to their house to warn them to run. Fearing they would be hunted down they instead ask Agent Bellamy to take him, sparking a tearful goodbye between Jacob and his parents who promised never to let him go.
• The moment Henry Langston turns on his brother. Realising Jacob was gone, Sheriff Langston heads over to his brother's place to find him. The confrontation worsens when Henry turns on his brother telling him "everything the old man said about you was right".
