Dinheiro Sujo

Just because it's a deep and sad storyline It doesn't mean it has to be boring and slow, but a lot of the time it is. Some of the acting was a little off too. The kid was great but I'm glad it was only 4 episodes.

My Review- Dark Mon£y Rating 7/10

I turned on the news today to hear Kevin Spacey's sexual abuse charges had been withdrawn so it was timely after watching the conclusion of Dark Money last time.

Dark Money is a well acted very disturbing drama about another Me Too situation involving a young boy Isaac played so convincingly and movingly by Max Fincham who while appearing in a Studio Blockbuster is sexually abused by the powerful film Producer and has mobile evidence to prove it .

The most disturbing part of this story is the decision and consequences that Isaac's parents make and no spoilers but one moment you see this mixed race family are in huge debt and living in modest housing the next they are 3 million British pounds richer and living in a mansion.

It made me think of Leaving Neverland ,the even more disturbing Michael Jackson sexual abuse documentary when both sets of parents in one way or another suspected the abuse was occurring but said nothing either due to ignorance or their to promote their child's future career .

Hopefully the ABC might buy this series but with the reduction of funding by the Federal Government I suspect their budget is very limited these days but catch it on DVD or U.K. TV Foxtel.

A cop out. They had no choice at the start but they don't say that at the end.

I know this is a film series about an extremely painful subject, but the BBC still seem to think that slow and 'poignant ' silences will fill the lack of good dialogue... We're up to episode two, so two to go, but this is disappointing so far...

I'll be honest, ten minutes in, I thought I would have had to switch it off, the subject material is incredibly dark. However, the performances were such, that I got into it. As it progresses, it gets darker, and more engaging.

A fabulous cast deliver some incredible performances, Max Fincham is the standout, he's captivating, as is Jill Halfpenny, she's been prolific, I just had no idea and was this good.

It of course deals with recent events in Hollywood, and beyond, but is as much about the diabolical creation, the NDA.

I urge you to try and watch this without feeling a raft of emotions, anger, pity, frustration etc.

Incredibly good. 9/10
