Just watched Glitch, a three-season Australian Netflix show about a handful of people who mysteriously return from the dead. It stars dollar-store Ryan Reynolds, Timu Chris Evans, Wish Simon Pegg, and so-close Glenn Close.

Season 1 felt like Lost. There were all these sciency/supernaturalish mysteries, and it really seemed like either side could be the bad guys. I lost track of exactly when it went off the rails, but by season 3, it was clear they had an end point they needed to get to without bothering to wrap up all the mysteries, and they just recycled the same actions every episode. Disappointing, do not recommend unless you just want something on in the background.

Having watched Glitch now, I can see what you mean. I can't bring myself to give this more than 6/10, and I'm considering lowering it. It reminded me a bit of "The Leftovers" for some reason, just with worse writing.

I'm usually not a horror fan, but I do like me a good Aussie/Kiwi show, so I'll definitely give it a go.

It's much more thriller than horror.

Yeah, classic IMDb not correct genres. I've seen first season already and a few episodes of season 2. I thought season 1 was quite messy, most of the drama came from very bad and lacking communication, like they'd exchage 3 sentences to each other and then race off. Like herding kittens lol.

Second season is much better.

I like how the "villains" have this information suck ability, it's like the opposite of bad communication. Interesting.
