#COVID-19-BINGE-FEST - Bloom (Season 2)


Will Bloom make it to a third season? So far Stan has delivered some great content. The Romper Stomper series release back on New Years Day 2018, the two seasons of Wolf Creek (we are following a bit of Aussie movie to screen theme here right?) and comedy series The Other Guy.

Bloom won two Logie Awards back in 2019 for season one. This got the networks (and Foxtel scared). Can the Aussie streaming service start to steal all the Logies moving forward? As Channel Nine owns the main Aussie streaming player in a crowded market, this allows Nine to have a more edgy platform.

Channel Nine has always been known as aiming at an older market, whereas Stan aims younger. It's international shows are killing it right now.

The series stars Bryan Brown, Jacki Weaver, Phoebe Tonkin, Jacqueline McKenzie, Toby Schmitz and Bella Heathcote.

Missing from this season is mr everywhere Ryan Corr, however you can catch him on the new Channel Ten series The Secret She Keeps (review coming soon).



So is the second season any good? Well I wasn't the world's biggest fan of season one, however season two is a little more impressive.

Let's face it, the show only launched on Good Friday Eve, I was done by Easter Saturday. The six episodes did go by rather fast and I must admit I was rather fond of Rhonda Stokes.

Bloom seasons one and two are streaming right now on Stan. It's definitely been a Stan heavy #COVID-19-BINGE-FEST so far.

Until next time.
