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!

Different but definitely worth watching. Season 3 was rubbish. Strange end. I think they ran out of ideas.

Glitch is basically an Aussie version of 'The Returned' complete with bushrangers and diggers. It's definitely binge worthy so kudos to ABC for sticking all the eps on iview rather than making us wait. I liked the distinct Aussie feeling to this show and the characters were likable and had interesting back stories. The overall story line is good and hooks you in. However, a few things bugged me, like the lack of amazement and confusion from the older characters in particular at just how much society had changed. There were hints of this but not enough to make how long they'd been dead realistic in my opinion. No one really questioned anything or gave cars, modern medicine, mobile phones etc. a second thought. Paddy lighting fires in summer when it was clearly dry and bush fire season also irked me a lot. But overall I enjoyed it and I hope netflix or someone picks it up so audiences outside of Australia can (legally) watch it. I liked the twist at at the end, and I would watch season 2 if it gets made. There are several unanswered questions at the end of season 1.

I have seen the French original, which I liked. Did not like the first US remake called Resurrection. Then a US cable channel did an exact copy of the original French version, and I hate it when they can't even come up with some different dialog! I give a lot of credit to this Australian take on the theme. It was more mysterious, and also had a bit more of a conspiracy theory feel to it. I felt the reactions of the people dealing with the returned dead were the most realistic. Also really liked that the different eras that the returned dead were from made for some really interesting story lines. I really enjoyed it. Hope it will "return"!

Season 1 was great. Season 2 was good. But Season 3 was beyond awful. Typical of movies today, it was only good for evil conspiracies and bad endings. It was like the Matrix. The first movie was great and imaginative. The other two were awful. It's just that watching Season 3 to its conclusion, left me angry in the end, making me with I hadn't watched it at all.
