Wanted

I am loving Wanted.

Rebecca Gibney, what a brilliant actress. Very natural and believable. She just gets better and better. I am enjoying her Character Lola. So different from anything Rebecca has done in the past.

Great Aussie scenery. Great Aussie Talent. Geraldine Hakewill is also very good in her role along with Stephen Peacocke. I am enjoying every minute of these talented actors.

The Aussie locations are great. I keep looking and wondering if I have been there before. Especially around tropical Queensland.

Love it.

There's many shows try and make this formula work (comedy-crime-drama).. but it is really so..so hard to do well. For multiple reasons, this series is as good as it truly gets.. and the main cause is Geraldine Hakewill. She is the straw that subtly stirs the whole drink. I was led to this production by following the work of Rebecca Gibney (who's also fabulous in this series..as is the entire cast). And that's what good actors and their work are all about.. just keep following their efforts, and more times than not you will be justly rewarded. Few are anywhere near as good as this production.. let's all just keep hoping they continue on from here. By nature of the story-line this one could continue, but oh what a great ride it was for the time we were privileged to be viewing should it be decided to be the end.

Superbly acted and written. Not your average cop drama. the plot changes every time you get up for a pint. Not a problem for the cast, which turns on a dime. Keeps the audience guessing, and engaged. Perfect for binge watching. Hard to put down. The only problem for American ears is that sometimes the Australian accents are hard to pick out from the background sound. Otherwise, a 10 out of 10.

I went into this series knowing nothing about it. It was refreshing to see that there was a good old fashioned Australian action/drama without needing to engage the help of Vampires, Zombies, Time Travel or Superheroes. I was hooked from the moment it started. Lola (Rebecca Gibney) captured my attention from the get go with her ability to portray a gritty-real person, a tough talking no bulls%it kind of Aussie chick who like all of us, is just trying to get through the day without the inevitable curve ball life tends to throw our way. As the episode progresses we find there is much more to Lola (Rebecca Gibney) than meets the eye, and with the introduction of her kooky counterpart Chelsea (Geraldine Hakewill), the characters begin to develop and an unorthodox relationship is formed.

In the interest of not spoiling this for anyone I will only say that this series has ticked most boxes for me with the humour, the characters and the use of so many locations around our gorgeous country. Wanted has it all and hopefully it will continue to deliver the action and drama one can expect from the likes of Rebecca Gibney. It doesn't hurt that it also stars two of the hunkiest Australian actors in the likes of - Chris Murphett (Ryan Corr) and Josh Levine (Stephen Peacocke).

The two leads are just excellent, the way their friendship develops is beautiful. It bowls along at a terrific pace and amuses and delights all the way through. The supporting cast are very good and it's just really, really enjoyable, watch it, you won't regret it.
