Secrets & Lies

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.

Gripping, Twisted and entertaining... All in one package. A young boy is murdered and the guy who finds the body is implicated. After that all hell breaks loose. There is not a single dull moment in the whole series. Nothing is pointless, its been edited perfectly. Every episode has few twists and turns. The characters are well crafted. You will love the young daughter and hate the elder one. The Tenant provides a bit of a comic relief baring his undies. The lead character is perfect. He portrays right mix of emotion, hysteria and empathy. Plot Holes... Well, considering how it wound up at the end, you could find a few things which had loose ends. But nonethless, this is the 3rd Fine Australian show I have seen after Glitch and the Keterring incident. Solid emotional and suspense drama. Go wtahc it.. Its way better than some of the glittering hollywood suff

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, 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!!

This Aus/ Nz production is outstanding.

A father ( Henderson) finds a neighbouring child dead and finds himself the prime suspect. Lots of storylines and backdrops are fleshed out well within the small community, as well as the police procedural - but the mystery is always at the forefront. The main strength of this show is the almost relentless suspense and twists and turns. This will keep you guessing till the very end. The only nitpick is the reason for the kill was a touch weak, and the support actors are not Hollywood quality- but still do a ok job. Overall an excellent production. Recommended viewing for sure.
