Bloom

I nearly wasn't going to continue with it after episode one, but I pushed through. I'm thankful I did. It wasn't a masterpiece, but a few characters gripped me, others did not. I think it could have been condensed into 4 episodes instead of 6, as a few scenes (the entirety of episode 1) dragged out and were unnecessary to the plot. Overall, I enjoyed it. I'm hoping the upcoming second season will be slightly better, but the story felt finished so I'm intrigued with how they will continue it. Good quarantine/self-isolation entertainment.

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.

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

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

Bloom is a great new piece of original drama straight out of Australia. From the opening scene I was hooked. While Australian stalwart actors Bryan Brown and Jacki Weaver give it some street cred, the young actors (particularly Ryan Corr) really steal the show. At only 6 hour long episodes it was easy to binge watch over the course of a day. The country town setting is very Australian. (Having come from one I can attest to that), the pace is great, with each episode ending on a cliff hanger. I also loved that it included a couple of same-sex couples stories with care and grace. This is one of the most original stories I've seen in a long time. Of course you need to leave reality at the door, so sit down, relax and enjoy the story.
