Bunce “By removing the head, or destroying the brain.” It’s the message delivered to England residents in Shaun of the Dead by the news service on how to deal with the impending zombie threat.

Review by C.J. Bunce The first season of Netflix’s imported series Glitch is so well done, it’s easy to compare it to the first season of TV’s Lost–another genre-bending series that held enough back that viewers never quite knew the secrets behind the strange happenings to an unusual assemblage of characters.
