Secrets & Lies

Wow. Thank you once again up STV for airing this nothing short of a brilliant TV crime drama. It had everything and lacked nothing. This is TV drama at its best. I didn't guess the end and watched hundreds of hours of this genre. An absolute gem.

I, myself found this show to be quite interesting! The plot is good. Few complaints would be, felt like they gave away who the murderer was too soon. They may have done that and canceled the show, but I would have rathered it stay on longer and find out who the real killer is later on, but you will find out on the last episode. It really is an emotional show. I cried a few times for the main actor, he really made you feel his pain. Martin Henderson is great for this role. He really puts you in his shoes. Not sure why the show is not continuing and why US has picked it up, just hope the new Secrets and Lies will be as good as the Australian version! It is definitely worth something to watch, just don't hope for second season cause there won't be any! Should be though!!

Okay, I think the title of the review pretty much sums up my thoughts of this show. But I doubt I can get away with only that, so.... Martin Henderson was great. The story was brilliant, the pacing was perfect. And, the ending was phenomenal. Watch this one, and definitely skip the American remake.

Gripping, Twisted and entertaining... All in one package. A young boy is murdered and the guy who finds the body is implicated. After that all hell breaks loose. There is not a single dull moment in the whole series. Nothing is pointless, its been edited perfectly. Every episode has few twists and turns. The characters are well crafted. You will love the young daughter and hate the elder one. The Tenant provides a bit of a comic relief baring his undies. The lead character is perfect. He portrays right mix of emotion, hysteria and empathy. Plot Holes... Well, considering how it wound up at the end, you could find a few things which had loose ends. But nonethless, this is the 3rd Fine Australian show I have seen after Glitch and the Keterring incident. Solid emotional and suspense drama. Go wtahc it.. Its way better than some of the glittering hollywood suff

I'm quite partial to Aussie drama. I like the accent, they're usually a little quirky, less predictable than the standard American or British stuff. The scenery always look great and there's usually a tanned hunk featuring in the storyline. This certainly doesnt disappoint on that score, the lead actor is very easy on the eyes! I think his entire wardrobe consisted of shorts and a bath towel but who's complaining.

The acting was mainly good, particularly the lead actor and the detective. The script was decent enough and moved along at a reasonable pace. It was just about the right length, there wasnt much 'filler'. It kept my interest all the way through. I didn't guess the ending correctly so it was a surprise. All in all its worth a watch.
