New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Fake - Season One

Fake Premiered on Paramount+ this Thursday, I was done by Friday evening. Yes it's that addictive.

Gold Logie award-winning actress Asher Keddie, who recently shone in Strife is back with another A grade Aussie drama.

Following her run in Lost Flowers Of Alice Heart, Nine Perfect Strangers and Offspring), Keddie is joined by David Wenham (Elvis, Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers & The Return Of The King).

This gripping eight-part series that explores love in a world of liars, cheats, fantasists and online dating apps. 

Now this came at a good time, as a lot of recent Paramount+ titles haven't interested in. If I was honest, it could be my first choice of streaming service to cut. They are becoming a little like the Hunger Games, with so many options, such varied content across all streamers.

Fake is getting all sorts of good reviews online. The Logies missed this seriously good local yarn. Not to mention you cannot forget how brilliant Heather Mitchell is as Keddie's mother. Brilliant role for Mitchell. Also Nicholas Brown is also excellent as her bestie Anton.

Anton's husband in the show may also be familiar for fans of the Secret Life of Us.

If this show has wet your whistle here are some other Paramount+ titles: A Gentleman In Moscow, Knuckles, Elsbeth, Little Wing, Ferrari,Star Trek: Discovery Season Five, The Gilded Age Season Two, NCIS: Sydney, Frasier, The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers, ARK: The Animated Series,The Family Stallone Season Two and Top Gear Australia.

So do yourself a favour this wet, cold weekend, give Fake a go. You will love it, finish it over the weekend then join the water cooler conversations next week while school holidays takes half the office hostage.
