‘Glitch’

When to watch: Now, on Netflix.

Season 3 of this Australian drama is now streaming, but definitely start at the beginning; seasons are only six episodes each, so it’s not a huge investment. But it has a big payoff. The show is set in a small town where suddenly, somehow, people start coming back from the dead (like Belle, played by Jessica Faulkner). It’s like the French series “Les Revenants,” but less overtly spooky. Like other shows of its ilk, “Glitch” is better when it is focused on the real emotions and ideas of its characters rather than on the “science” of what’s happening, and luckily the show is aware of that. It’s grounded in authentic ideas and behaviors, finding poignancy and meaning beyond the fantastical elements.
