Secret Bridesmaids' Business

Australian drama has had an interesting year, with highlights like Wentworth's brilliant seventh season, Total Control on the ABC and Foxtel's co pro with the US network FX Mr Inbetween.

Whilst unfortunately for Seven Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries was a bit of a miss, whilst long running Home and Away wraps for another year this week.

Channel Ten had mixed fortunes whilst launching a spin off of Neighbours on their streaming platform.

Australian drama will also see Nine's streaming service Stan launch a fairly decent summer offering whilst renewing Bloom for a second outing following a big night at this year's Logies.

Now to Secret Bridesmaids' Business on Seven, one of the other few Australian dramas on the former number one network.



It's been a tough year for Seven with MKR not firing as well as it should, Channel Nine having all the reality hits and even Channel Ten has started to have some luck with decent new reality offerings like the Masked Singer.

Whilst on paper with a cast like Abbie Cornish as Melanie Heyward, Supergirl's Katie McGrath as Saskia de Merindol and Dan Spielman as Michael Heyward you would think this had hit written all over it.

Unfortunately not. With an awkward one episode each night for three nights September 29,30 and October 1st, then a week till the next episode, the series really suffered from over exposure, then back to a more regular weekly schedule.

The story itself is fine, stalker, relationship breakdowns however the series just felt it was lacking something. Like at the movies yesterday (Charlie's Angels, see review below) there was just something not right. Even Elizabeth Banks has admitted now (via Twitter, as you do) the reboot was a bit of a misfire. Good thing she stars in it, wrote parts, produced it and directed it. Damn that is four strikes.

Secret Bridesmaids' Business is streaming now on the Channel Seven streaming app 7plus. It's an easy Summer series watch of six episodes with a few embedded ad's in there for good measure. At present 80% of the ad's are for Apple+ TV series, which is weird to send people to another streaming service other than your own.
