Why Wolf Creek & Wentworth are leaps and bounds ahead..


One word, also starting with W Women. Strong Women.

Women have very few great roles on Australian TV, unless you are looking at Leigh Sales the queen of Australian current affairs.

Men dominate drama in this nation and unless your Rebecca Gibney or Asher Keddie forget getting constant and challenging roles.

Kat Stewart was fierce as Roberta Williams and continues to do good work for a while but her role as Roberta Williams was her greatest to date.

Pamela Rabe, Danielle Cormack, Nicole de Silva all slay on Wentworth and Lucy Fry has created herself quite the role on Stan's streaming success Wolf Creek. Taking on one of Australia's cult films this series was always gonna be tough. But god damn it was addictive.

I smashed all 6 episodes in less than a week, the show has currently been watched by 500,000 viewers thus far and I am hoping for a second series.

It is so refreshing to have multiple good Australian shows on offer at present and also seeing great seeing ladies like Libby Tanner also excelling  (whilst dropping the C bomb) in the latest instalment of Wentworth. Surely this will get a 5th run?

Internationally this is a hit and locally it's the most watched local show on Foxtel.

So great seeing Drama in this country doing well and scoring good numbers. Let's hope the ABC's new drama's are equally as good. Janet King also did well for the ladies and has picked up a third series on the national broadcaster.

I also have the man flu so Moving this May is on hold. Sad Face.
