Savage River (2022)
9/10
I thought it was wokeism at the start. I was very wrong.

As my title says I thought it was the lefty ABC at it again. But there was just too much talent in the cast to turn it off. Plenty of good old fashioned Aussie actors that kept me happy. But I didn't know of Katherine Langford as her success in 13 reasons why escaped me as it was about a subject matter that I have seen more than my share of. But I am a fan now. Also Mark Coles Smith is another talent that was new to me.(I reckon he's Aaron Pedersens love child).

I'm usually pretty good with the "who dunnit " genre. But it wasn't until the end of the fifth episode that I was 100%. But even up till the very end there were a cpl of surprises. This was a really well written script. It is definitely binge worthy as I'm writing this at 3.15 am after starting it after dinner.

Really well done to cast and crew. And my apologies to the ABC. This was nothing to do with wokeism, and all to do with what is actually happening in rural Australia right now. Cheer Dave.
