Total Control

I wasn't quite sure how the story in season 2 would develop, but after just watching the first two episodes, I'd say it's better than season 1. This season feels a little more grounded in reality, with Mailman continuing to excel in the role.

Two episodes in and this is still hugely watchable and entertaining. A strong cast and some great characters make for compelling viewing. Deborah Mailman is brilliant, as usual. It is easy to feel for her character; she draws you in easily. The juxtaposition of bland maiden speech and her first interview works so well. Rachel Griffiths makes a great prime-minister. Believable and strong. The supporting case is equally proficient, and I look forward to more screen-time with them. Highly recommended.

Absolutely riveting. Congratulations to all who have contributed to this gripping series.

Deb Mailman is incredible in her role. I love love this tv series. Series one was fantastic but Series two....is awesome.

The story of Australian politics is so up to date with what is happening right now.

May the independents win the next election and leave out 2 party idiots out of the game altogether.

Well, I just watched the final episode, and all I can say is WOW. Well done to the writers, and the overall quality is excellent. I love the use of the old Parliament house chambers. The cast give powerful and emotional performances, particularly Deborah Mailman as Alex Irving, Rachel Griffiths as Rachel Anderson and Harry Richardson as Jonathan Cosgrove. Celia Ireland as Tracey Helliar is really growing into her part. Shantae Barnes Cowan as Jess Clarke is a natural, taking us all with her. Gosh William McInnes as Laurie Martin has come a long way since Sea Change, always brilliant. To all the cast and crew, thanks for this very entertaining series. It will become a classic.
