Enjoyed Season 1 & am loving Season 2 - 1 more episode to go! GREAT collaboration between NZ & Irish film/television. As an Aussie, I'm loving the in-language explanations of both cultures. At times tho', I have to remind myself that the lead actors are NOT real police officers. Great job on the casting & the dialogue they get to deliver.

Anna Maxwell Martin's performance is phenomenal. To deliver such an extraordinarily accurate performance of a rage held over decades, tempered only by logic & tenuously held reason - not justice - must have been exhausting! Gather all the acting awards & hand them over now.

You can keep Yellowstone give me Bump anyday 😊 Great writing. An eclectic cast of characters that at 1st glance could seem there to tick the PC box but upon reflection, are pretty true nowadays of most inner-suburban major Aussie cities (think Sydney/Melbourne) & if not, well hey, I don't mind my TV viewing being aspirational 1 little bit 🙂

Para-standing tennis? Wow! Hot on the heels of the 2024 Para-Olympics, this far from simple documentary, provides continued insight into just how far Disability advocacy has come within Australia & the wider world, but just how much farther there still is to go. Let's just integrate the 'Olympics' to see ALL athletes graded accordingly & performing within the 1 sporting category, which in this instance, is tennis. Well done Adam Hills - what a great way to have value-added into your already awesome life!

A fabulous bit of TV entertainment, with a script that is both character and plot driven. Wonderful, emotionally credible performances, by quality actors, delivering a script that is simultaneously gritty and elegant. Performances by Andrew Buchan and Anton Lesser, particularly notable. Perfect ending.

When viewing foreign film/TV shows, the subtitles can leave a bit to be desired, but with this series, it is either missing a final episode 7 or the producers were expecting a 2nd series. As it stands, the series is pretty unsatisfying, because it leaves large chunks of the plot unexplained. After investing 6 x 40 minute sessions of my time, as a viewer, I deserved better. Scenery? Astounding. Acting performances? Skilled professionals. Script? As above.

Great film-making! Very well captures the expat' lifestyle of top-tier executives within Chinese based communities & their domestic 'helpers'. You will simultaneously hate & reluctantly admire very flawed & therefore authentically 'human' characters, given brilliant script dialogue to work with & inspired direction, to deliver performances which such a quality cast, fortunately should guarantee anyway. Seldom have I seen film-making which so successfuly does justice to domestic 'helpers' & the very weird dynamic of raising another families' children, whilst your own are raised in a completely different country, where you left them to be raised by others, albeit usually grandparents &/or other family members - so that you could improve their overall standards of living ❤️
