Glitch is an Australian TV series produced by Screen Australia and The ABC.In the country town of Yoorana, Victoria, police sergeant James Hayes investigates a disturbance in the town cemetery and finds several people naked and covered in dirt. Soon, James along with Dr. MacKeller realise that they have mysteriously come Back from the Dead and can't remember their lives. Meanwhile, a teenager named Beau meets up with Paddy, another of the resurrected who didn't go with James.The resurrected people date from various decades, from James's late wife Kate who has been dead for a mere two years, to Paddy who was the first Mayor of Yoorana and died over 150 years ago. And there's the mysterious and violent John Doe who isn't inclined to say much...Over the course of the series the resurrected regain their memories while James and Dr MacKeller try to keep the resurrected under wraps, which isn't so easy once James' colleague Sergeant Vic Eastly starts poking around.The ABC had the entire 6-episode first series available on its iView service from day 1, though it expired on the 27th of August 2015. It became available on Netflix in October 2016, and a second season began filming late that year as well, with global release scheduled for 2017. Netflix globally released series 3 on September 25, 2019. | |

My Grandson, Myself | |
| Glitch / int_157c6c4f | comment |
My Grandson, Myself: While visiting his old haunts at the Royal Hotel, Charlie pretends to be his own great-great-grandnephew. Paddy pretends to be one of his own descendants to justify his knowledge of family secrets and his possession of the will. He never specifies the exact relation. | |

Dead All Along | |
| Glitch / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: Of a sort. It's revealed at the end of Season 1 that Dr Mc Kellar had actually died four years ago, and she has secretly been one of the risen the whole time. | |

| Glitch / int_3f28ec84 | comment |
The Wall Around the World: If a resurrected person goes too far from Yoorana, they begin to get sick and start to bleed from their eyes. If they don't get back to town soon, they die (in a rather permanent manner). | |

Fish out of Temporal Water: Downplayed. Charlie, Paddy and John are puzzled or fascinated by aspects of the modern world but they quickly figure them out and such incidents only last a few seconds on-screen. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Glitch / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Eastly begins behaving increasingly erratic following his car crash, starting with ignoring his open head wound, then refusing to sleep, until he ultimately turns homicidal. Only at the end is it revealed that he actually didn't survive the crash and Came Back Wrong. Likewise, Sarah and Phil also begin acting strangly. Sarah didn't survive childbirth, and Phil didn't survive the oil rig explosion. | |

No Ontological Inertia: Zig-zagged. When Carlo dies after crossing the boundary surrounding Yoorana, he reverts to a decayed corpse which collapses into dust. On the other hand, when Vic kills Maria, her body remains intact. | |

Noble Bigot | |
| Glitch / int_734632b0 | comment |
Noble Bigot: Paddy expresses disbelief that an "Abo" would ever go to college; at the same time he's not completely dismissive of Beau, and later on we learn his true love was an Aboriginal woman. Paddy questions the competency of his lawyer solely on the fact that the man is Greek. Chi comments that Phil speaks English surprisingly well for a Native. A bemused Phil replies that he speaks English better than Chi (a Chinese immigrant). | |

Foreshadowing: The fact that MacKeller is herself involved in the reanimations is foreshadowed in the first few seconds of the first episode, when one realises that the car Beau sees speeding away from the graveyard is her Volvo. | |
