The Wrong Girl + Aussie Drama OVERLOAD!

I recently (like mid last month) laid shit on Doctor Doctor it was awful and despite my criticism Doctor Doctor has received a second series despite the show dropping in ratings and being beaten by today's subject The Wrong Girl.

The Wrong Girl is actually outstanding and although it is light n fluffy and nowhere as gritty as Wentworth or the terrific Secret City on Foxtel. The Wrong Girl is actually a step in the right direction.

Jessica Marais is divine as the less than perfect lead and the support cast are actually not 100% irritating.

Australian Drama seems to be exclusively for after the sports seasons with Ten launching this series, Nine launching the god awful Doctor Doctor and last night Hyde and Seek commenced. Seven gave the Secret Daughter a go after Jessica Mauboy after her interesting performance at the NRL grand final.

Deep Water is showing SBS will also have another go at Australian drama in the mini series format and ABC are wrapping up The Code this week.

The Wrong Girl to me has a few things going for it, one a good lead in with the Bachelorette, two a strong lead, Craig McLachlan and some strong supporting cast and a story we can all relate to in a setting not all of us are used to.

With all this drama on offer, the US drama shows almost all in full swing, its a busy time for the most expensive television to produce, I feel the Wrong Girl should definitely be given another go with a second series and a good replacement on Ten with Offspring smelling a bit past it's used by date.

Ten is celebrating a bit of return to form with some reality shows firing, Studio Ten actually gaining audience numbers and with their lack of news and sports offerings they somehow manage to have a competitive schedule now.

So well done to Ten I wrote you off but the Wrong Girl shows someone there is making decent decisions.
