Look, its really difficult to review this show. While I was watching I quite enjoyed it but as soon as it was over for the week it didn’t linger with me at all. I found it quite sterile. My sympathies are completely with the refugees and I guess I would call myself a leftie. If I lived in a country where I was persecuted and my children were in danger I’d like to think I had the courage to seek refuge in another country. Given my political stance, I was disappointed that this show didn’t make me feel more. It all felt contrived – and what disappointing tick-the-box casting! Do we really need to pick the same two actresses over and over and over again – just because they have a large fan base. Shouldn’t the ABC be above that? I’m only surprised Rebecca Gibney wasn’t in it as well! Given the limited opportunities for actors in Australia can’t we give some other actresses a go? Some new faces would have been grand. Honestly, I’ve shed tears in a news segment about the plight of refugees – but these characters just didn’t resonate. Of course, that could be me – not the show. I just don’t care enough to really find out..
