Glitch

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.

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!

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 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.

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