Fires is an anthology series about the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season megafires which devastated Australia, capturing the world's attention. Fairly timely given the talks happening in Glasgow right now.
Well if ever you wanted to hate Slo-Mo, this series makes you wonder how the creep sleeps at night.
With an all star cast across all six episodes, Eliza Scanlen, Hunter Page-Lochard lead as two young firefighters. They are joined across the episodes by international legends like, Sam Worthington, Richard Roxburgh, Sullivan Stapleton. Noni Hazlehurst, Miranda Otto, Anna Torv, Kate Box and more.
Episode six, leads to the truly horrific, New Year's Eve events. A picturesque holiday town looks like a war zone, as day turns to night. The sky turns blood-red, people rush to the water's edge for safety. Tensions rise, Sullivan Stapleton and Noni Hazlehurst try to assist respective youths across the episode.
It's another tense hour. The miniseries has really tackled a lot of the issues raised that summer. From people suspecting people of arson, to the devastating impacts of the fires on all aspects of the community.
The six episodes turned into a must watch for me. It has been some of the best hours of ABC drama in a while. I am enjoying Wakefield, however Fires is a much more compelling view.
