Glitch Review

The second episode of Glitch was just as compelling as the first and actually managed to enhance the series. The addition of John Doe was great and brought a potentially evil character to the array. Kate and Maria’s discoveries added a little turmoil and heartbreak to the series. Vic will likely become a thorn in James’ side throughout. Finally, Paddy and Beau continue providing the series with humor. We can only hope they stick together forever!

This episode deserves an 8 out of 10. Be sure to check out our other Glitch recaps now!
