“Local productions are a priority to us” - except local actors don’t appear to be though.

I mean, it’s a joint production - what do you expect? Sure it would be nice, but this wouldn’t have been funded otherwise. Given it’s being done locally, lots of local extras, crew etc will be involved which all helps.

Given 10’s investment across FTA dramas in the next year or too I’m definitely not complaining if it means more at the expense of a couple of lead roles going to overseas talent along with Aussie actors.

Nothing is as it seems on Sydney’s North Shore…

When the 19-year-old daughter of a UK politician is found dead in Sydney Harbour, cultures clash as a British and an Australian detective team up to solve a complex murder mystery. But this international investigation will expose more than murder, as the two detectives begin to uncover a conspiracy with political consequences.

God - either the show is awful or that promo just makes it look completely forgettable

What a flat dead promo

[JBar]

I haven’t seen the show yet but I slready feel like the two leading British actors are miscast in those roles.

Having trouble believing Joanne Frogget as the mother of a 19 year old even though she is old enough to be in real life. Also, really unsure of John Bradley in the role as the detective.

Cold Feet creator Mike Bullen brings his backstory to North Shore

[Jack_Laverty]

Did anyone watch this?

[JohnsonTV]

I watched the first episode tonight. It was OK.

[Tom_TV7]

I watched the first part of the episode. It’s well made but the prominence of the British accents in it is quite distracting for an ‘Aussie drama’ (yes I know it’s a co-commission but still). If viewers weren’t paying attention they would’ve thought this was an imported drama which could be a big turn off as with all foreign drama of late.

I tried but I zoned out hahaha.

[JBar]

I was right about the two leading British actors being miscast in the roles.

Just seems like Joanne Frogget is too young to be the mother of a 19 year old and also a UK Secretary of State.

John Bradley is completely wrong for the role of the detective. His character seems to have his light hearted moments but that seems out of step with such serious subject matter.

[cmo]

I caught up with this last night and it wasn’t bad. I quite liked it. The main character is around 45 years old and so it’s plausible she had a 19 year old daughter. Joanne Froggat looks about 40-45 so I don’t think it’s such a stretch.

The production values look good and hopefully it gains an audience through 10play and P+. We still need dramas to be made for FTA.
