| New series Scrublands starts November 16th on Stan |
THE SERIES IS SET
in Riversend,
an isolated and struggling country town in rural Victoria, where
charismatic and dedicated young priest Byron Swift (Jay Ryan) calmly
opens fire on his congregation, killing five parishioners.
One year later investigative journalist Martin Scarsden (Luke Arnold)
arrives in Riversend to write what should be a simple feature story on
the 
anniversary of the tragedy. But Martin finds a town deeply scarred
and hostile to journalists - local bookstore owner Mandy Bond (Bella
Heathcote), 
Constable Robbie Haus-Jones (Adam Zwar) and widow of one of
the massacre victims, Fran Landers (Victoria Thaine) give him short
shrift. 
When Martin’s investigative instincts kick in and he digs
beneath the surface, the previously accepted narrative begins to fall
apart and he finds himself in a life and death race to uncover the
truth. Series will also air in UK on BBC Four and iPlayer from November 18th.

We don't get to watch many Australian series over here...this one sounds interesting. I am going to find the book for my Kindle though. Have a great week ahead, Dezzy.
ReplyDeleteI try to watch at least one of their series a year and they are usually the best thing I Watched in the given year. This week I will star Newsreader season 2 as that is one of the best series in last ten years for me.
DeleteI read a book similar to this once. May have been by Stephen King, but I don't remember exactly. Instead of a church though, the priest killed all of the summer camp kids in the name of doing God's work. Truly horrifying book, but honestly not out of the realm of a crazy religious fanatic.
ReplyDeleteWhaaat? What kind of garbage do you read, deary?
