Wakefield

I only just read that the main actor is English and it's blown my mind. What a great job at the Australian accent!

I am so pleasantly surprised with this show. I absolutely loved every minute of it. It shows the realness in regards to mental illness. It shows that everyone has some sort of deep seeded issues they need to resolve. But it does it in a comedic way a lot of the time.

The acting was amazing, especially from the main actor. The backdrop of the Blue Mountains was a nice bonus I really hope they make a season 2!

Only 2 eps in and I am already convinced this will go down in history as one of the best Aussie shows ever made. Uniquely moving and important.

This mini series has everything, quality drama doesn't get any better than this! To Rudi Dharmalingam, what an amazing achievement, not just brilliant acting but to nail the Aussie accent better than any non-Australian. Geraldine Hakewell, Mandy McIllheny and every actor in the series, take a bow, you were all superb, and made your character believable. To the writers, producers, directors and the ABC..... thank you.

Wakefield tackles different extremes of poor mental health with regular doses of black comedy. The heavy story lines are lifted by tenderness of humanity and set against the stunning backdrop of the blue mountains.

All characters are genuine and well developed ,not just the main ones. The mystery is compelling and will keep you guessing until the end. Spectacular acting from all players. Really hoping for a second season as this was a spectacular production and completely original.

Now this song is stuck in my head ha ha. I really enjoyed this series. I hope they come out with a season 2 to see what happened to Nik and all the other characters.
