Ms. X just wrapped last night on Binge, or did it?
The miniseries for New Zealand's Three, produced by Plus6Four and South Pacific Pictures, the series focuses on a woman named Mia who teams up with an old friend from high school to scare Mia's cheating husband into being faithful, but it leads to something far more dangerous.
Mia teams up with a friend from high school to scare her cheating husband into staying with Mia. She is pulled into something far more dangerous: the criminal underworld, caught between the police, her everyday life and the cartel.
Starring acclaimed Logie award-winning Australian actress Melissa George and written and created by New Zealanders Hannah Marshall and David de Lautour.
Ms. X commenced late last month, concluding last night with episode six. It did end on a bit of a "is there more moment". However, I think Ms. X is done for now...
Alongside Home & Away favourite Melissa George, Simone Kessell stars as Saskia, with Dean O'Gorman as Oscar, Jonno Roberts, Oscar Kightley and Wentworth favourite, Robbie Magasiva as Tevita.
I enjoyed the first few episodes, however, there felt like a few filler episodes in middle there.
It did have some humour as well as being a crime based series.
I really wanted to like this more, but by the end I was a little over it to be fair.
Binge are struggling with content now. They should be streaming House of Dragon from HBO. Ever since Binge lost HBO, they have been struggling to keep up with Netflix, local streamer, Stan and newer players like Apple TV and Prime.
That said I am seeing through the poor man's Big Little Lies, Five Star Weekend. In September we will see what Binge has to offer at Foxtel's upfront. At least Colin from Accounts is back, with High Country to also return on the local front.
American Horror Story also returns in September.
On the topic of shows wrapping soon. Cape Fear concludes on Friday, with Power Book III: Raising Kanan wrapping next Friday, alongside Apple TV alien/mystery series, Sugar.
