The End (2020)
A Fabulous Australian Cast & Stunning Performances That Tackles All The Big Issues With Complete & Utter Success!!!
I binged watched this magnificent series The End in about 5 hours & loved, loved loved it!
It has become one of my all-time favourite Aussies Series with a star studded cast that shines & shines a light on every highly debated topic that can tear family & friends apart.
The writer's tackle just about every major taboo topic & issue facing modern Australian society today from assisted death, attempted sucicide, plativie care & the inhumane suffering that goes along with it to young love, elderly love & relationships, grudges & judgement of parents to child & child to parents. One major story arc is about parents allowing a young teen wishing to transition from female to male & how hard life is for our young in the LGBTQI+ community. It takes us through both teens, adults & the elderly experimententing sexually & the ways we all try to find love, care & companionship. The mistakes we make, the good choices we make & how we punish ourselves. It also follows the lives of the residents in a retirement community with a tongue-in-cheek look & humour at all that goes on.
It also gives us insight into the heartbreaking palitve care industry & the mental & physical toll the pain, the indignities & suffering takes on everyone involved from the patients, their partner's & family, to their doctors, nurses & staff & their families away from work, the patient's friends & community & exactly what goes on in our nursing homes in Australia.
So beautiful written & performed. This series should be a must watch for all senior high school children, nursing homes & communities.
I don't understand why it's taken so long for legislation to be passed in this country for assisted dying with dignity, especially when will not allow our pets to suffer in pain & agony & have taken care of their suffering since the dawn of time, but not the same can be said for our human family members who have had harsh laws & governmental polices forced on them our most treasured loved one's until recently when laws were changed in 2021.
This should be each individuals freedom of choice & family members should have no say in the matter just like with a woman's body, no one else gets a say in the matter but the woman.
After all this is just another heath choice, but probably the most important of all.
Wentworth (2013)
One of The Best Aussie Drama's Ever Produced (even if it's a re-make) With A Fabulous Cast!!!
Love this Aussie updated adaption of Prisoner!
I watched & Love both the original 1980s version & this fresh exciting remake on a modern women's prison in the new century from 2010.
Although I missed some of the original characters, to begin with, the writers/producers/exec's could not have done a better job re-writing & updating these strong impressive characters for a modern show on a women's correctional facility.
So well written, every single character is full of depth, emotion & has one helluva story to tell.
You care about both the 'Prisoners' & the 'Screws' and the actresses/actors have done a tremendous job portraying & bringing them to life from words on a page to the wonderful & complicated 3-dimensional characters we've come to like, love & especially those we love to hate.
And they've found a helpful, comprising & productive way to unite both the Top-Dog & the Governor of the facility with the aid of the women & the other officers for the benefit of all the women.
Brilliant writing with sensational storylines
So thankful another season was produced after the announcement of a Season 6 finale.
Just finished watching Season 8 Episode 10 finale.
While it was a great episode, I was truly annoyed, wondering what the Hell they were thinking pi@#ed beyond reason the show would end like that! What the F?
Then I did a search & read Season 9 has been approved for 2021.
Now I'm happy as a pig in poop as that finale left too many storylines unfinished & unresolved.
Plus I guessed the big secret @ the end of 'Who Done It!' But no spoilers here.
Exceptional Aussie Cast, Crew & Performances!
