Bloom

I liked it even though it's something that can't ever happen. Great acting and easy to follow. Found it both thought provoking and sad. Worth a look

Worth a look. Once you reach episode 3 you be hooked. A small town in Victoria Australia is deluged by a flood. Where people perished in the deluge a plant with glowing fruit appear. It appears the fruit is the fountain of youth......but with consequences. It gets quite gripping as it goes along. 8/10

Bloom makes a valiant effort at trying to carry a wafer thin script over 6 hour long episodes but comes up well short. Firstly the positives it is beautifully shot with top class cinematography, there are some nuanced preformances from the likes of Brian Brown and Jackie Weaver but the standout performance is Ryan Corr who steals the show with his multilayered complex performance, a true star in the making. Sadly Phoebe Tonkin does not have the acting prowess nor the script to make the character of Gwen anyway intriguing nor memorable but the weakest link acting wise is that of Max played by an OTT clunky cringing Sam Reid whom gives a truly hammy performance. The script could have been edited to four episodes as six is much too long for a dragged out premise. If there is to be a second series I hope Ryan Corr's character could be explored further a much tighter condensed series could figuratively bloom

Better than most of the other shows that have come out in recent times. Aussie talent at its best. Good for a binge watch over the weekend

We went in to this without any spoilers and enjoyed the whole series over two days. Great established Aussie cast and some new talent too that only made it better. A believable tale with some Supernatural thrown in. With a look. We don't often give a high score like this.
