Well it's been a BIG week on Australian television with three new shows being aired (one telemovie and two new series).
The first was Sunday night, Scorched. It had a promising cast Vince Colosimo, Libby Tanner and Cameron Daddo, however it really never quiet worked. Georgie Parker and Les Hill were less than inspiring.
The movie was basically a collaboration of news footage from Sydney's previous bushfire seasons, this sounds pretty lame, well that's right.
Scorched was pretty uninspiring and at times almost impossible to watch. Scorched rates a less than hot one star.
Next up was Rush, like Scorched Rush has a great cast including Callan Mulvey, Catherine McClements, Samuel Jackson (yes the guy who was the man when Secert Life of Us was on) and Rodger Corser (the Underbelly actors sure are getting a lot of work!). However the show like Scorched lacked real soul. The characters weren't like able and the story was quiet lame. In a world full of cop dramas these new shows really need to standout and this one definitely doesn't.
Rush looks like it might be in the TV recycle bin before it's second episode, Rush rates one star.
Finally The Strip, now this was the pick of the week. Aaron Jeffery leads the cast and features a cute little thing that used to be in Home & Away - Bob Morley.
The show was slicker than Scorched and Rush and used a nice soundtrack to keep the mood.
The Strip could be quiet successful if it plays it's cards right and the gust star line up for the series sounds quiet good, Martin Sacks, Jay Laga'aia and Matthew Newtown.
Keep an eye out for this one, The Strip rates 3 stars.
