Anomalías

Is this a fewer dream? Yep. And this is a good one. When you finish this show, you won't forget it-not because it's flawless, but because it's unapologetically weird.

Glitch fully embraces its absurdity, diving headfirst into the bizarre without hesitation. It's a mix of sci-fi, mystery, and pure chaos, yet somehow, it just works.

The humor is offbeat, the plot unpredictable, and the entire experience feels like a fever dream in the best way possible. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're like me-into weird, dark shows that break the mold and keep you guessing-this one's worth watching.

Unfortunately the writing completely falls apart at episode five and beyond. The story moves in the opposite direction you hope for.

This series betrays the audiences trust by fronting as a movie predominantly about aliens. It then goes even further by betraying its own sub context about mental health with it's terrible ending.

• Acting is over the top
• Characters feel like a caricature or a parody of real people
• The series is twice as long as it needs to be
• The dubbing is mediocre, but, passable

I can only imagine how cool this series could of been if it leaned into its science fiction direction harder, and, maybe drop the green helmet.

As is usual for Korean material we see in the West the production values of GLITCH are really high, its a joy to see such well-made television, much better in so many ways than British (I'm British) or US (which is often just a collection of production cliches that add up to nothing, aimed at a teenage audience). And again, as usual, the two female leads are brilliant, completely believable and again, a joy to watch. The plot/storyline is gripping, particularly over the first five episodes we genuinely did not see what might happen next (and we are longtime sf fans with for me over five decades of reading and films). It was easy to become completely immersed in the world of Jihyo and Bo Ra, fascinating characters with so much implied backstory, and really care about what happened to them.

OK, there are some weaknesses - Asian television always seems to have some problems with continuity and once you know you can't help noticing it, And like so many Asian serials it tends to lose a but of heat on the last lap - which brought it down from 10 to 9 star rating for me. (But then - how many Western series end completely satisfactorily - why can;t I think of one right now?) We watched this in two episode blocks over five evenings, and I have to say it was the best tv time of 2022 so far. NB - this is as much character driven as plot driven, which might not be what some 'sci-fi' viewers want.

I don't really get why this has such a low rating. As far as KDramas are concerned, it managed to avoid tons of clichés we usually see. And that was a welcome and unexpected surprise to me. The subject matter is aliens and cults so if that's not someone's cup of tea they probably won't enjoy the series but personally I'm into stuff like that and this was fun without getting too scary or super lost in detail. I won't compare it to US productions of the same subject matter but since there's none I've seen so far from South Korea I think it deserves a higher rating than the 6.2 it has right now. If anything so that we start getting more KDramas that are different than the usual.

I see others calling it boring, confusing, or just not good but I honestly loved it.

At the end of every episode I found myself thinking "damn I like this show" Watching it just gave me this unique happy feeling that I can't quite describe.

It was serious, thrilling at times, silly at times, and wasn't constantly go go go which I loved!

(Although it did have some dark themes like cults, suicide, and being drugged, so if you have a hard time with that stuff I wouldn't recommend watching it.)

You know that feeling when you finish a show you liked and you're like "ugh, well what am I gonna watch now? It's going to be so hard to find another show that I enjoy as much as this one" I finished the show minutes ago and that's exactly how I'm feeling now.

Recently I've been starting shows, getting about halfway through, then the urge to keep watching goes away and I'm left disappointed and wanting to find something else, so the fact that I finished this show AND enjoyed each and every episode means quite a lot.

I'll be honest it's not as sci-fi and has more to do with a cult than the synopsis leads you to think, I mean there's definitely sci-fi and much of the plot has to do with aliens and UFOs but there's a lot more cult action than you'd think.

I also have to add, the character (and Nana, the actress who plays) Bo-ra is SO hot. So, idk, do with that what you will

Anyways I know this review was everywhere but all that to say I very much recommend watching this. Still, ya know, just read the reviews and decide for yourself if you'd you're interested or not.
