Secrets & Lies

Okay, I think the title of the review pretty much sums up my thoughts of this show. But I doubt I can get away with only that, so.... Martin Henderson was great. The story was brilliant, the pacing was perfect. And, the ending was phenomenal. Watch this one, and definitely skip the American remake.

I'm usually good at figuring out "who done it" but this show had me guessing until the very end!!

I Just accidently found this while wandering around youtube and I thought it read as a nice lil' 2 part thriller to end my night with. Oops, sorry that was a run-on sentence. This had my heart stopping more than once and cannae believe I had never heard of this mini-series. This is one of the best more or less modern thrillers I have ever watched. All of the characters are believable and very well portrayed. I loathed the police in this series, especiall the lead DI. Some have been almost as good through to the end; however, this was quite surprising and kept me guessing the entire time. Have an evening set aside to binge. Oh yes, and it was six episodes, not a mere two.

I'm quite partial to Aussie drama. I like the accent, they're usually a little quirky, less predictable than the standard American or British stuff. The scenery always look great and there's usually a tanned hunk featuring in the storyline. This certainly doesnt disappoint on that score, the lead actor is very easy on the eyes! I think his entire wardrobe consisted of shorts and a bath towel but who's complaining.

The acting was mainly good, particularly the lead actor and the detective. The script was decent enough and moved along at a reasonable pace. It was just about the right length, there wasnt much 'filler'. It kept my interest all the way through. I didn't guess the ending correctly so it was a surprise. All in all its worth a watch.

I, myself found this show to be quite interesting! The plot is good. Few complaints would be, felt like they gave away who the murderer was too soon. They may have done that and canceled the show, but I would have rathered it stay on longer and find out who the real killer is later on, but you will find out on the last episode. It really is an emotional show. I cried a few times for the main actor, he really made you feel his pain. Martin Henderson is great for this role. He really puts you in his shoes. Not sure why the show is not continuing and why US has picked it up, just hope the new Secrets and Lies will be as good as the Australian version! It is definitely worth something to watch, just don't hope for second season cause there won't be any! Should be though!!
