This won 2 AACTA Awards, among others, one of them being best television drama? Really?
Does that mean the Australian television landscape is mediocre at best?
Don't get me wrong, the show itself has its moments but other than that this lacks greatly.

The dialogues are either stupid or simply terrible. Scenes have often consistency errors.
People other than our cast are background noise only or there to provide exposition.
Hayes is incredibly stupid, making everything worse with his decisions, especially in the first season. This character trait bugged me greatly. Telling Vic what's going on without any proof or willingness to proof what he said, leaving in the middle of the discussion with the words "I am not crazy". Yeah, clichéd and always works, right? Omitting crucial information just because it creates drama between characters (Chris for another example).
That the risen have some sort of border, a limit, was obvious the moment Carlos died. That Alexandro died roughly the same time is no excuse to dismiss the potential danger of leaving town with others. Pay attention Hayes!
The moment the doctor said Sarah "technically died" was f**king random and ridicolous. Instantly triggered me thinking that she isn't Sarah anymore. Should have ringed all bells for Hayes as well, but he is an idiot, so it didn't. He can't put two and two together.
Characters turn to assholes, or turn out to be one because the really interesting things aren't the point of this show.
Sarah's family is of no concern in this show, so killing is of no concern, no one will ever ask any questions about the killed ones. Generally burying bodies wherever you want will raise no further questions or suspicions, it was the same with Vic.
There's no explanation how the dead are raised other than magical science crap. However, that one is at least just a small part, even if it enables the whole story, it's more of a MacGuffin, really. But still lacking.
Also no explanation on who Vic was after he died, or Beau's father, or Sarah, where they come from, why they have no limits and such because - again - the interesting things aren't the point here.
The end is open as of S2 and unsatisfying as is. Glitch is apparently trying to get a third season order or more to end things and not to answer things when it's time.

While Glitch is overall not the worst show ever it definitely is nowhere near the praise it did get.
Could you watch it? If you have nothing else, sure. Do you need to? No, not at all.
Acting is most of the times good, though. I enjoyed at least the performances of the risen, except Vic and alike, and the actor playing Beau.

I watched seasons 1 2 3 this weekend. firstly I want to commend Netflix for creating this or somehow sourcing this onto their platform. this show was captivating from the very first episode until the very last. It presented a unique and fresh story that is not the typical regurgitation that you would see coming out of Hollywood. It was new it was fresh. The actors did the show Justice. they may not have been the best actors in the world but there mediocrity seemed to add to the particular style of the show. overall I would give this show an 8 out of 10. great story writing, great screenplay, great music, great character development and overall good TV show. usually when it's sad to see a show end. but I'm happy that I found this show after the final season was created. It was good to see the story unfold and to be taken along for the adventure. It was good to see how the story ended. couldn't have been better? I think that there are things that could have been better explained. that might have been a few things that should have been further developed. but a little mystery and a little uncertainty helped the overall finished product.
