Glitch is an Australian drama series, it ran for only 6 episodes. A second season is apparently in the works to be streamed on Netflix.
When a small town police officer is called to a cemetery to check out a disturbance he discovers six people, including one very important to him, have returned from the dead. Physically they're perfectly healthy, even if they were sick when they died, however they're all suffering from memory loss. There from different time periods, from only being dead for 2 years up to being gone a century and a half.
A medical doctor who claims she wants to help them knows some secret about one of them and isn't sharing what she knows, endangering them all.
After an automobile accident another officer has a change in personality, going from believing talk about the dead rising is insanity to suddenly hunting for them for an unknown reason.
The risen dead cannot venture too far from town, attempting to leave will render them dead again.
What, if anything, does there returning from the dead have to do with the local and very secretive pharmaceutical company?
To what does the title, Glitch, refer?

Yep, same theme all over again, but it's the rendering of the drama that will tell if it's worth watching. Some 'zombie' movies are great and some are just fun. Gonna look into Glitch.
WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

Warning episode 6 doesn't solve the mystery. By the end the 6 know who they were and how they died, disease, accident, murder, suicide. But how they were brought back hasn't been revealed although who is strongly hinted at. The how and why is still unknown. As is why the can't leave town without instantly decomposing. Don't read what's below if you plan to actually watch the series. Most people online seem to think Vic was possessed with an evil spirit. While I agree he was possessed I don't believe its an evil spirit. As he said himself its not natural for the dead to be walking around. He was trying to restore the natural order of things. He only killed someone who was already dead. And only tried to kill the others who had already died. Had he succeeded I think he would have dropped dead himself. As he had in fact died in the car accident. Having accomplished its mission the spirit that possessed him would leave. Its the doctor who is the evil one, knowingly messing with the natural order. And James is just misguided. He can't see that its not right that his wife who died of cancer should be alive and healthy two years later. Next season he's going to have to deal with the fact that is second wife is now the one possessed. Since she did die on the operating table. And what revived isn't here anymore. Sarah will now try to return the others to their graves.

I think "Glitch" is the "loss of memory." The six have returned from the dead, physically they're perfectly healthy, even if they were sick before...but...there's a problem (glitch). Two in fact...memory loss 'and' they can't leave town far. Sounds like a neat series

I watched half of episode one and it just didn't hook me. I'll try and finish off the episode tomorrow and see what I think then.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.
