The Secret Daughter

I have just watched this for a second time. The music is fantastic. Well worth watching. Its a shame there are only 12 episodes. Family first.

Seriously, who just starts singing at people? Musicals I can understand... But this? Lame. What kind of person would watch this?

I love how this shows how people from different backgrounds can come together if they choose. I wish there were more than 12 episodes. So glad that I was introduced to Jessica Maubouy and her music. She is an amazing singer.

Refreshing and Jessica is an AWESOME singer. Love the songs and the bit of drama.

By the 2nd episode the story & characters reminded me of the old TV soap Dynasty & the acting is pretty awful. Mauboy should stick to her POP music & altho she is only an average musician it is a heck of a lot better than her acting in this soap series. After the first few episodes the story is very predictable & it jumps back & forth between the dramas that each side of the family have in what I can only describe as chaotic. The producer should have been sacked for it. At first glance this looked like a very good Australian drama series but it has been spoiled by being so chaotic in it's presentation. The locations/backgrounds it set in it are really good & mostly original but the chaotic execution of the story & acting has let it down. The execution is very clumsy & I am surprised it has made it through all the episodes so far. But then TV ratings are over for the year & it fits well with all the old repeats we are currently seeing on Australian free TV. I would have given it a zero rating but it deserves 1 point for the beautiful settings that were used in it.
