What a pile of garbage. This is a poorly stitched together mess of cliches and propaganda. There are good actors here who are totally wasted. I was left wondering what horrible secrets they had that meant they were ripe for blackmailing into appearing in this mess. Avoid it unless you consider your brain surplus to requirements.

This an excellent satire and it's actually funny too. The writing appears to have been left to someone who knows how to do it, the acting is competent and the plots are intelligently thought out.

This isn't an unlikeable show but don't watch it hoping to find any originality, humour, wit or plausible storylines. The overall concept is a jumbled up re-telling of 'Scumbag' with a bit of the story and characters shuffled about. It's so similar that i wonder how the 'creative' team haven't been sued. The situations defy logic at every turn. The initial premise of a woman returning to her life after completing a sentence for murder is interesting. We're fed little bits and pieces as we go along, stretching out the drama and building intrigue. While that works, it falls apart as every fact we get serves to make the entire situation less and less believable. The final real is based on a wafer-thin piece of writing and it's totally predictable. The main character is likeable but there are no supporting characters that make any sense whatsoever. Nobody behaves logically, it's like it was written by someone who has never met people before and has no idea how they actually behave. There are some interesting ideas but they fall totally flat because they're simply not developed. It's not funny, there are no laughs to be had here and it isn't quietly amusing either. It's just a piece of sloppy writing that doesn't deliver on its initial premise.You should only suffer through it if you enjoy voting in national elections or have flu.
