Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Yertle_The_Turtle Tripping Over. I must say at first I was a little disappointed in the first few episodes, but having faith in the show, and Abe Forsythe's unquestionable talent, I continued to watch. I can safely say I'm now glad that I did. The story did develop quite well, and all the characters have a strong base, and most don't have any information missing.The only thing I can fault in this production is the somewhat annoying voice and pronunciation possessed by the character Lizzie.Some good acting coupled with a stellar plot really gets this show over the line. Here's to hoping for another season!
cissagirl Everyone is going on about Aussie Drama... If this is the best we can do then we're in trouble. It's basically secret life of us (another Aussie drama now finished): gay guy, the bad actor, the career women, the random guy who gets to have sex with everyone and tries to sound really profound with bull we've all heard a million times and the do-gooder anal type. My main problem with the show is it's only had 4 episodes and the issues that have come up are: my boyfriend is now gay, adultery, my son isn't mine, death, I have no respect at work, immigration, teacher having sex with a student, adoption, etc, etc. Geez, it's a bit much guys, what's worse is I don't even feel sorry for these characters because I don't like them! Tamsin seems snobby and nasty, Ned is a boring ex soap star struggling to make it big (big stretch for Daniel MacPherson), Lizzie is the annoying, whining , anal retentive do gooder and Callum is the typical partying Pom who's playing the stereotypical gay guy. Now I genuinely like Abe Forsythe but his character Nic is an enigma, he's so full of "morals" and "profound sentiments" while looking like a bum and being a teacher? I just don't know who he is, which is a shame because he's the only one I can stand. That said I will watch a few more episodes to see how it pans out, but I'm not really interested in the adults stories either.
stayrighteous A fine effort for an Australian show. which is probably not surprising seeing as there seems to be somewhat of a resurgence in quality Aussie drama. dare i compare this show to the brilliance of love my way? no. but it is reminiscent of early secret life of us. the cast is great, gibney works her magic in the first two episodes i have seen, the British cast is strong also especially the callum and lizzie characters. but abe forsythe may be the saving light (not that it needs saving) if this show is to get another season. i wasn't a fan of his performance in the awesomely awesome marking time mini series a few years back but he was great as hal in always greener. its also good to see brooke satchwell again. lets hope the show keeps improving with each episode.
jessica_6089 Tripping Over, a news drama series just aired in Australia. Comprising from some great Aussie actors including, Rebecca Gibney, Lisa McCune, Abe Forsythe, Daniel MacPherson and Brooke Satchwell. This series is interweaving story lines connecting with characters in Australia and London. Kicking it off with the death of Tamsin's (Alexandra Moen) mother, five 20 something people Tamsin, Ned, Nic, Lizzie & Callum hook up for a mini holiday in Thailand before travelling onto other destinations. Ned (MacPherson) is a former soap star of fictional "Next Door" trying to make it big on the London scene. Nic's (Forsythe) reason for London is his girlfriend (Satchwell). Lizzie a travel agent is travelling the world with boyfriend Callum before returning home to marry. Tamsin's on her way to Australia due to her mother's dying wish. The first episode was certainly eventful with a boat that most characters are on blows up and all dive into the water to survive the blast. Callum comes out to his girlfriend Lizzie, and they break up. Tamsin and Nic hook up due to upsetting nature of the boat blast. Ned spends most of the episode on the toilet after eating dodgy noodles. Parents are also involved with the plot, Ned's Dad (who we discover is not his Dad after all) is trying to adopt with his younger wife (McCune), and Ned's Mum, a restaurateur (Gibney) has a minor role so far, but should increase with the discovery of Ned's non-Dad. Ep 2- a lot less eventful, but still chaotic. Ned gets told his Dad, is not his. And guess what? It turns out to be his uncle! Lizzie's having visions of the man who died in Thailand, Tamsin decides to stay in Sydney after finally working up to telling Sam about Nic, only for him to be asleep (how convenient!!!) Nic starts working in London as a teacher and has sex with a stranger on top of a car. And Callum becomes a party animal to escape his pain of losing his lover in Thailand. After watching two episodes, I really don't think its worth watching. It's definitely a shame with the effort they would have put in with the international filming and all. And even if I do watch it again, it's only because House went to the season final.
