Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

pauln-16 * Spoilers *The head of the police and district attorney insist on prosecuting a woman for a murder with zero evidence there was any altercation, assault, or struggle. There's zero evidence that a murder even took place. The lady is an older out of shape woman. the man is a hardened police sergeant type. Unbelievably stupid. Then, a guy without any apparent discipline or military training shoots a woman in the head using a handgun from the back of a moving motorcycle at a distance of about 25 meters. again, unbelievable. I lasted 2 1/2 episodes and had to turn it off. I like the premise of the show and the characters, but if the writing is going to make the characters do unbelievable stupid things that no real life professional would ever consider, I have to conclude the show was written by a bunch of 12 year old girls during a slumber party. How anyone could say this was a riveting legal drama is beyond me. They must know absolutely nothing about the real world. Don't waste your time.

h-kitchener We found this series on Acorn and looked forward to viewing it mainly because of Marta Dusseldorp whom we enjoyed in A Place to Call Home. What a disappointment! From the pushy, leftist attempts to normalize her abnormal homelife to the amateurish plots this show stretches credulity and is unwatchable. We found none of the characters likable and the whole premise rather juvenile and silly. One episode was about all we could take. Poor Marta, from a great role in A Place to Call Home to this nonsense! We have become fans of both British and Australian TV series over the years and have enjoyed many of them but recent attempts by creators and producers towards agenda-driven characters and plots is causing us to re-evaluate our viewing habits. This series is, bottom-line, unwatchable.

jamesmoule I thought "Crownies" was an excellent series, despite being less than attracted by the previews. The acting was good and there was great ensemble acting, especially from the young members of the cast. I was hoping for a second season but instead got "Janet King". Why? Was Ms King the most interesting character in "Crownies"? I think not. This was a very "Balmain" production with the central character being in a lesbian relationship and with two mysteriously-conceived children. How PC can you get? Worse was the treatment of child sexual exploitation. Have we really reached the stage where police are shocked to see photos of young teenagers in bikinis on people's computers? The writing and acting were quite strong in the series, except that the plot and the casting gave strong clues as to how the story would end. I lost interest. If there is another spin-off from "Crownies", it should feature a different central character, preferably one of the younger ones.

Bill Obviously my esteemed fellow reviewer has an axe to grind. Describing it as pushing a "leftist, lesbian" agenda is utter nonsense. If the relationship were heterosexual, I seriously doubt that any such vitriol would be forthcoming. Yes, the initial police/courtroom/trial scenes had a couple of "reality" plot holes large enough to drive a tank through, but these are easy to forgive, given the extraordinary quality of this series. Perhaps if you require an absolutely, completely, utterly perfect drama series, you could make it yourself? If for no other reason than to show the rest of us how amazingly talented & absolutely NOT homophobic you must be.
