[QUOTE="JamesF, post: 235262, member: 299"] This floored me on first watch. I don't know why but I just hadn't expected the show to go [I]there[/I]. Perhaps it was due to Bevan Lee's return but I recall the show having an absolutely relentless intensity this season. It felt as though it was build to something awful (and yet as you referenced, ended rather beautifully). Another shining moment for Marta - the chance to play mother lioness and naturally she gave it her all. There's something about her acting style that she can fortunately pull off these huge, shouty, highly melodramatic moments and yet she's not doing camp. On a separate note, I remembered your frustration about Harry's gym bunny physique - funnily enough the actor has popped up in [I]Between Two Worlds. [/I]His first scene emerging from a dive into the ocean...in tiny wet swimwear naturally. I didn't recognise him at first (long hair and a beard) but when I did, it took me back to your fair cynicism about him fitting into rural 1950s Australia. :lol: Still loving your take on the show!
