Secret City (2016–2019)
1/10
This thing is not good
10 October 2016
SPOILER: It goes in fits and starts. The story revs up, zooms forward . . . goes nowhere . . . hangs . . .

She's rowing in the middle of a lake, is shot at, swims to shore, then sits there, out in the open breathing hard, like recovering from the strenuous swim is her only problem.

She comes into her apartment, sees blood on the wall, grabs a trophy, crouch-walks to the bathroom and finds a bloody guy in her tub.

'Are you okay?' she says.

He nods.

What!

A passionate spontaneous sex scene between her and the gay guy. ExCUSE me? Wha a a . . . ?

She meets 'the person' in the middle of nowhere to reveal that she knows he's the killer. Then runs, like it's a surprise he's gonna try to kill her.

The writing is just stupid.

So why have I watched the whole thing?

Dunno. I like Australian film. Sigh.

Well, I did fast-forward almost all of the last two episodes and I won't be watching a Season 2 if there is one.

As of this writing there's only one other negative review and that's just not right.

So, you're welcome.
