Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - The Imposter - Miniseries

The Imposter is an Australian-British co-commissioned drama series for Channel 5 (UK) and Channel 10 (Australia). Which is also now streaming on Paramount+.

Yes I was patient and waited till all four episodes were dropped on Channel 10's streaming service, to avoid their awful Ten Play app.

In the UK, The Imposter aired on 15 December 2025 on Channel 5, whilst in Australia, it aired on 21 December 2025 on Channel 10.

The Imposter focuses on matriarch Helen, played by Jackie Woodburne (Neighbours), who refuses to sell her seaside hotel amid pressure from her three children. When the daughter she gave up for adoption appears, a mystery surrounds Helen's secret.

Helen refuses to sell the family property a seaside motel as pressure from her family and someone claiming to be her daughter shows up the hotel hiding it's secrets from years prior will see everyone pushed to their limits.

Alongside Woodburne, the trashy family soap stars British actor Kym Marsh, everyone's favourite, Dannii Minogue, with Jane Harber, Charlie Clausen, Chi Nguyen, Kabir Singh & Adeline Williams.

So its a decent cast right?

However this is completely trashy like previous Aussie/UK co-productions on Ten. Riptide and Heat, came before this, but all had a UK star, some local talent, but never a bad wig that Helen (Woodburne) had to endure across, murder, sex, scheming and Don Hany with his shirt off from time to time.

I did enjoy this easy, breezy watch which my dad thought was one of my mums rom coms when he walked in on me watching this. lol

This is no doubt not going to win a single AACTA award next year, however if you like light entertainment, this sure beats MAFS. And yes I did watch MAFS last night. Fucking terrible bro.

Seeya tomorrow!
