Between Two Worlds

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.

Is this going to get the axe before it's given a chance. I'm usually not a fan of Aussie productions but put a Bevan Lee script with Hermoine Norris together and you have my interest. Yes it's a slow burn as little by little each character's story is revealed. I hung in until the cliffhanger at the End of Episode 10 just and hope more layers will be peeled back in Season 2

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.

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.
