IT IS the much-hyped show that has taken Twitter by storm and as Australia gets ready for the second episode of Resurrection tonight, fans are asking the big questions.

The show, which sees the residents of small-town Arcadia, Missouri shocked and mystified after their loved ones start returning from the dead, drew a whopping 1.91 million Aussie viewers last week.

And while it may have earned the title of the week's top rating show, it's also drawn some bizarre questions from the Twittersphere.

The first episode opened with Jacob Langston waking up in a rice field in rural China after drowning 32 years earlier.

It ended with whistling man Caleb Richards who had died years earlier, returning to Arcadia to see his now grown up daughter Elaine.

Tonight's episode will undoubtedly raise even more questions with the opening of Jacob's tomb.

The show, which asks you to suspend everything you know about life and death, has also raised other questions such as why Jacob is still wearing the same clothes and how an eight-year-old who has come back to life 32 years later can amazingly work a smartphone.

But that's not all, fans also want to know why a small boy eats so much?

For all those still wondering just what is going on in Resurrection here are some of the questions viewers have asked so far.

Why does Jacob wear the same clothes for so long?

Not only does he wake up soggy and wet in a rice field in a rural town in China, but he wears the same clothes on his return home to his parents and during his hospital stay. And more to the point, were they even washed?

What is the big deal with opening Jacob's tomb?

Surely his parents would want to know what or who lies in the tomb where their son was buried 32 years ago.

Why does an eight-year-old eat the equivalent of an Olympic athlete?

We know kids are growing people but the amount of food Jacob consumes would send most people to an early grave or maybe back from it in his case.

How does a kid dead for 32 years know how to work a smartphone?

While it's hardly rocket science, the ease with which Jacob takes agent Bellamy's smartphone and starts playing Donkey Kong seems a little unbelievable considering such devices weren't invented when he was alive the first time.

How can we believe someone can come back from the dead and not have aged a bit?

Both Jacob and Caleb haven't aged a bit since they died and have slipped straight back into the lives they once led.

What is with the creepy whistling from Caleb?

In the first show, viewers are left wondering who he is but are more mystified by the whistle especially when Jacob is around.

Why can't US viewers spell the show correctly?

Well, even some of us got excited over the show, but it got US viewers in such a spin the incorrect spelling of the show was trending on Twitter.

Finally, is Jacob really an alien?

Fans can't work out why a kid can suddenly come back from the dead and have only one explanation.
