TOUGH LOVE COMEDY
TV SERIES UNVEILS LEAD CAST
Australian Foxtel has announced cast for their new comedy series TOUGH LOVE about a family of three very unprepared children confronting the possibility of life without their mother. Miranda Otto stars as Kerry

plays Steph’s partner Mick. Set within the chaos of a suburban Australian family, it follows Kerry as she receives a cancer diagnosis. Her immediate
crisis isn’t her own mortality: it’s the terrifying realisation that all her adult children are totally incapable of surviving the world without her. Through th
e chaos, the series explores the complicated bonds of family, the fear of losing someone you love and the messy, often hilarious struggle to become self-sufficient.

The comment finally works again :-))
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting show, but I am not sure about Australian comedy series.
It took them like whole day! Jesus!
DeleteAustralian shows are always lovely as they are heartfelt and warm.
I’m looking forward to this one. My nephew turns 21 in October and I often wonder wtf he’s going to do when my mom passes away. He uses his diabetes as an excuse to not participate in life (locks himself away playing video games all day and never leaves the house). Worked for one day at a fast food place and said it hurt his feet too bad to stand all day because of his illness. He truly thought he would receive my mom’s house and keep living as usual when she’s gone. Doesn’t realize he’d still need money for taxes, upkeep, utilities, etc. Says his anxiety is too bad to get a drivers license. My mom gets pissed when someone brings up that she’s enabling him to be a societal leech that’s going to struggle when she dies. Maybe they both need to watch this film.
ReplyDeleteOy, she is clearly an enabler! So many people in US use illness as an excuse not to work, I mean, honey, you and me have been ill all our lives and we still work and do not expect others to take care of us and we are hundred times older than him and decrepit LOL I imagine he will use government help and social benefits.
DeleteThere are always ways to support oneself unless you are truly disabled. We both absolutely know that. There are rules going in place that one has to work or volunteer 20 hours a week to get state funded medical insurance. I was hopeful that would get him up and applying for jobs, but apparently he's somehow exempt from the rule, so he'll carry on sponging off his grandmother until she's gone. She needs to get him into therapy and on anxiety meds so he can learn to function in society. Too many kids these days just want to play video games or sit on Tik Tok hoping to become Influencers so they don't have to work. It's insane how technology has dumbed down the youth and made them lazy.
DeleteIn my country there are no ways even for the able and educated ones, as you have to be the member of the organised crime in power to get work, but I am sure that in USA the heaven of enterpreneurship you can always do something.
DeleteThe worst thing is that they think it is their privilege to be able not to work and be influencers, they somehow think that procrastination is something the we owe to their generations and they use mental health as an excuse. They are perfect citizens of the new society in which machines and computers will do all the work. It is just beyond me how can you live without feeling useful. It is so selfish and superficial.
