    Amazing storyline Amazing performance

    Ah I don't know how I missed this Show, this answered many questions, declared confusions, pointed and focused on very complex human behaviors, and the perspective of two sides of the story the community and the family meaning.

    More of this please. The kiwi actress was so amazing and well known the struggle of the character within the story, the acceptance, the survival mood, and her personal life and truth how was hard to keep both and fight for the right thing.

    NZ has to have more of this essential and successful storyline for drama television.

    I loved this so much!! Well done well done production!

    Brave, inspiring and Depressing all at the same time.

    Robyn Malcolm plays her role exceptionally well In this necessary but depressing story. Is It is set in Wellington NZ and the cinematography was brilliant. New Zealand certainly are aiming to punch high and they are very successeful with this drama.

    I binged watched over two days - only because it was such a potent, emotionally draining drama to view too quickly. It really kept me guessing until the last episode. And that was due in part to the perfect acting by Robyn Malcolm with me believing every part her character expressed. Having said that her co-star Peter Mullen played his role exceptionally well. Very difficult role to play considering the subject matter.

    All actors were so amazing.

    Give us more of this quality drama pleeeese New Zealand.

    Terrific performances and a totally compelling, riveting drama

    I see absolutely why some people find it slow moving, but really stick with it as the story/tension builds brilliantly to its quietly devasting climax. I binged watched as I just had to discover where the story would lead and, for me, that worked really well. I totally invested in Pennie's character and her dilemma. If it had been a 'film' that performance is Oscar-worthy. The direction is beautifully understated and the whole cast seems brilliantly chosen for the authenticity. If you feel uncomfortable watching this I suspect the writers, director and actors have achieved exactly what they intended.

    Come to the party

    Not a subject matter I feel at all comfortable with watching and I tend to shy away from productions that include excessive swearing but I found myself being drawn into Penny's world spiralling out of control. Is she being gaslighted or not?

    The performances of the main actors Malcolm, Mullan & Canton are top notch. The way they move you through feelings of sympathy, suspicion, anguish & frustration. The supporting cast didn't let you down either.

    The scenes of nudity were probably unneeded but perhaps it was a way of showing Penny's vulnerability.

    I didn't feel the episodes went slowly at all. Would definitely recommend.

    Riveting

    Imagine believing something so powerfully inside of you that your entire life becomes a train wreck and, to everyone else, you are a loose canon of mammoth proportions. Is it true or is it not?

    This is another amazing New Zealand production, like so many of theirs.

    Robyn Malcolm is sensational. The entire cast fits their roles perfectly. The scenery is stunning. I began to watch a few minutes and binge watched the entire 6 of series 1, in one afternoon and evening.

    Denial, lies, the delicate balance of trust. The fragility of youth. Manipulation and control. If you are a victim of abuse I would say to watch this with caution. A must watch.
