Friends Like Her

I'm gutted I have to wait another week to see what happens next! It's quite rare that I identify with so many characters in one show. Having lived in Blenheim during the quakes, I know the locations and people well, but no amount of familiarity will ever make up for good character development and a compelling story. Motherhood can be a blessing and a curse as every parent knows, and this story smacks you in the face with all the feels around both loving your family desperately and being weighed down by them. Seamlessly weaving Maori and Pakeha themes of whanau together with obligation, tension and longing, I'm both excited for the next episode and scared it'll all be over too soon!
