Review of Glitch

Glitch (2015–2019)
7/10
If you like 'the Returned' you'll probably like Glitch
11 July 2015
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.
