Although its central axis is the relationship established between two television presenters, the series manages to avoid the danger of becoming a simple sentimental drama with a tendency towards a soap opera, like "The morning show", incorporating a broader look at events relevant in the eighties. Some of them may seem somewhat distant or unknown, but they are used skillfully to introduce more universal reflections such as journalistic ethics or Aboriginal claims regarding the commemoration of the bicentennial of the European invasion. Good pacing and interesting characters raise the bar.

Yet more proof that Anna Torv can do no wrong.

I really like Anna Torv’s acting. I’ve only ever seen her on screen with an American accent before this, so it’s fun hearing her Aussie accent and colloquialisms.
