Deep Water, SBS strike GOLD with another mini-series about..


Gay men.

In place of Grindr a gay app is being used by a murderer and the murders seem to resemble murders in the late 80's to current cases.

Aussie Yael Stone returns from OITNB to an all star cast featuring the most fabulous Danielle Cormack. Not only is Bea Smith one of Aussie TV's best characters in years but Cormack has been all over Rake, East West 101 (former SBS program which was beyond brilliant), Underbelly: Razor and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.

Noah Taylor also a former Rake star returns to Aussie TV after some time on Game of Thrones, William McInnes is hiding something and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, Dan Spielman, Craig McLachlan & Simon Burke  all add something to this outstanding mini-series.

SBS had a hit in my books with The Principal a while back (also featuring a gay man) and Better Man was outstanding.

It is a hard topic the film makers target in this series and it is well handled, Yael Stone as the lead is simply divine. I highly recommend drama lovers catch the remaining two episodes this week on SBS or SBS on Demand.

SBS you have really delivered here well done and please keep up the good work with dramas on local television.
