Between Two Worlds

As an Australian I've seen way too many Australian drama series. What they have in common is they all are produced as if they are soap operas. The dialogue is over dramatic and stilted, every item of clothing is brand new and perfectly pressed, the people are all beautiful as are their homes. Every show is the same plastic wrapped sterile effort. Compare this to British shows where actors are sought that look the role, from drug addicts to peers of the realm. They talk like real people and react like real people. If you're into soap operas you'll probably enjoy this show, if not look for something else to occupy your time.

I was really looking forward to seeing this. After the first episode I looked on imdb and didn't see many positive reviews. I'm glad I made up my own mind. It's not the best show but it was enough to keep me in for 10 episodes.

Make a decent drama Sydney? Too busy looking at the harbor. (As can be seen) I watched about half of the first episode and then gave up, not just because of the background but as others have said the stiff acting. It just doesn't sit right.

Why can't actors loosen up and at least attempt to achieve life like credibility? Is it the mediocre script ? Poor direction? Fear of failure? Perfunctory , ho hum performances in episode 1 make me fear the worst for the rest of the season . The repetitive use of glamorous backgrounds of the wealthy becomes boring. OK they're rich, we get it. They do this genre so much better in UK and US. My sock draw is calling me , it needs rearranging , I have a date with it. Sunday night.

I hope 1 journalist's review does not stop this series. Love the actors and locations. It can grow to a real story if allowed to continue. Overseas reviews seem much more positive..we have had nothing since A Place to call Home, so this should be given a go....When is series 2 coming? Not fair to leave watchers in the lurch with an unfinished story....Come on Channel 7.... tell us what is happening please?
