Glitch

No spoilers here. Was very bored and thought I'd give 'Glitch' a go especially as I thought if I like the first episode, I can watch the entire Series 1 in few hours as it was made available on iView. I got hooked by the very first minute as it starts action, excitement, intrigue, suspense immediately. The only reason I didn't give it 10 was there were a couple of douche bag moments of acting but can't remember them now as I am still trying to work out what how when why and of course when is the next series coming!!!!! Excellent work. I am certain this will receive many awards and nominations. (The show, writers, actors, producer, directors et al). Thank you for this!

If there was rating that could be given for season 1 & 2 only it would be 10 and season 3 about 4 so I met the score at 6. I don't know why this show went off rails whether they were in rush or just simply diddn't care that it was ending. So many glaring plot holes, subplots that added virtually nothing to story line, and poor explanations for things going on in the show. By the time credits role around for season 3 you're left so angry and frustrated. What a waste of what I considered to be an amazing series.

The first two season of this were absolutely fantastic. Unique, a sorta X-files meets The walking dead. A group of people from all walks of life and from different era's wake up from their slumber (death) in a small Australian town, and the local sheriff must figure out what going on, as well as those that just woke up. They too want to know. Is it a science experiment, is the apocalypse, is Armageddon? We don't know, and frankly we sorta figure it out in a very disappointing 3rd season.

The 3rd season is ridiculous, 6 episodes to tie it up and you pull a game of thrones final season on us, where nothing really happens, we learn nothing until the final episode and then its over. I get that #Netflix doesn't renew foreign shows, or really any shows unless they are award winners past season 3, but you still could have made it engaging. Literally nothing happens in the 3rd season that is worth noting. Ahh well, moving on the next show to be cancelled by Netflix.

Glitch is loosely based on the premise from the French TV series "Les Revenants" which is excellent. For this reason I was hesitant to watch Glitch as I just didn't see how an Australian remake could top the original. I was also worried it might have turned a little more zombie apocalypse. However I was wrong, it's not a remake, and it's not a zombie series. It's takes a different angle on the theme from "Les Revenants" which is refreshing and clever. One of the best things about Glitch is how it never quite gives the game away, and whilst the idea of re-incarnation is a hard sell they never had me scoffing in disbelief. It's clever, and it's twisty turny in it's plot. Another really great aspect to the show is the warm inner glow you will get from time to time with respect to family members, you might be moved to shed a tear, just as "Les Revenants" was prone to do. If they make a season 2, I will be watching.

If I could rate season 1 and 2 separately from the third thing - that would be great. Enjoyed 1 and 2 very much despite the obvious "bad physics" or "bad science". Season 3 is just a huge disappointment. More so because I was really intrigued and looking forward to it. Sad. And bad.
