Glitch

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.

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 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.

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!

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"!
