Friends Like Her

Having perused the handful of reviews for this show, I was wondering if maybe I had watched something different to most of the other reviewers who slathered this series with praise for both the acting and the script.

Give me a break!

Let's start by saying that some of the actors were exceptional in the roles they played. I was extremely impressed with the acting from the women who played the mothers of Liam and Rob. Unless I misunderstood, Liam and Rob were brothers, so the casting of the two men seemed a bit off. Liam had a distinct Maori twang in his speech, whilst Rob didn't. Some might argue that that is because Rob was moving in a more upper class direction than Liam, but if anyone tried that argument, I wouldn't buy it.

Morgana O'Reilly was great in her role, but I found Tess Haubrich difficult to watch. I found the script to this show very "amateur theatre" and it suited Tess's acting in this show.

I'm not going to lie, I binged it because a friend said it gets better as the season goes on. I am currently reviewing that friendship.........LOL

The scenery in the show was incredible and highlighted New Zealand beautifully, and Vinnie Bennett (Rob) was easy to watch too.

Because of the acting and the script, I spent the first half an hour of the first episode laughing. That's the only reason I would recommend this show is if someone I know needed a good laugh!
