  1. @ Jezza. Its not uncommon to see an older actor/actress playing a character who is a few if not several years younger. I dont have a prblem with it.

  2. I look forward to the ep based on your sterling review of it, David. I really liked ep 3 and Demetriades performance, along with Brendan Cowell’s screenplay and Matt Saville directing, from memory. But it doesn’t quite hang together for me, yet. I don’t buy Lapaglia and Okonedo as a couple. He seems miscast to me. She is a wonderful actor. Melissa George? I guess she will have her turn, but… Essie Davis was great in ep 2,,. but it all felt disconnected and tangential to what had been explored in ep 1. So for me, its all a bit uneven – but love Diana Glenn, Anthony Hayes, and always a delight to see Lex ‘Bruno’ Marinos back on screen. The sum of the parts may be better than the whole.

  4. Although she plays the role of a 17 year old in this show, which is a little disturbing….in real life she is 21, so it is not so inappropriate to find her attactive.
