By Tuesday night there were two letters and the & symbol that had everyone talking. News Limited again showed who's side they were on...
Another charming week from the tabloid kings at News Ltd. So really by Tuesday night was Aussie drama really required after this talking point? Wentworth delivered a delicious farewell episode for 2015 so all eyes (well around 800,000) were on Channel 9 and Love Child. After a disappointing House of Hancock mini series this was their first dip back into drama.
Channel 9 has long lived on Sport and have recently done well with a massive Origin performance (good on you Melbourne) and Friday and Sunday NRL matches rating well. Drama is not their strong point, House Husbands is piss weak and when you only have two dramas on the cards, one bad one and one average one it's not a great score card.
However Love Child is leaps and bounds ahead of House Husbands.
So Wentworth is the winner for 2015, easily the best Aussie drama, heads and tails ahead of fellow Foxtel newcomer, A Place to Call Home (formally of Seven) and miles ahead of the pathetic white wash Wonderland on Ten.
Really and truly Wentworth is a life saver on Australian TV other than the high camp fun of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries on YOUR ABC, Australian drama is next to dead. Thank god for Netflix and the creative minds in their office, Sense8 was wonderful and I can hardly wait to see Ruby Rose join the crew in Orange is the New Black Season 3.
Happy weekend all and I am really at a point where this country has just got to lift it's game, Tony Abbott and crew, the right wing mafia at News Corp, 2GB, 3AW, please stay on Parliamentary Winter Break and don't come back. Media crew can you all just join the school holidays and learn some journalistic skills, i.e. research, fact checking and balance. People think the ABC is bias, have you read the Daily Telegraph, The Australian, the Courier Mail or the Herald Sun? Pathetic or listen to 2GB, 3AW or their fellow stable mates on Macquarie Radio. Shit!
