Deep in the Netflix backlog, there lies a catalogue of shows over which we continuously pass our weary eyes.
They’re certainly not new. But they’re more than noteworthy. Glitch is one of those shows.
Aussie legend Patrick Brammall – of Offspring fame – plays James Hayes, a policeman called out to an incident at the local cemetery: six people have inexplicably risen from the dead.
They’re not zombies. This isn’t sci-fi/horror. The grave-risers are completely alive… and in perfect health.
Laura Brodnik explains why Glitch is Australia’s most underrated TV show on The Binge. (Post continues after audio.)
Tiffany Dunk, guest host of Mamamia‘s podcast The Binge, likens it a little bit to one of her favourite shows of all-time – Lost.
“[Glitch sees] a bunch of strangers thrown together. You learn individually about their backstories through flashbacks, and through other devices. There’s an overriding supernatural element of ‘what is the island’… It’s really clever,” Dunk explains.
As any television geeks would know… a comparison to Lost is just about the highest praise any supernatural/drama could be possibly be afforded.
“Patrick Brammall is just phenomenal in this role. He gives such depth to it… it adds to the mystery,” Dunk adds.
According to Laura Brodnik, host of The Binge, it might even be the "most underrated Australian drama of all time".
