When one is bombarded with who dun it's, one becomes accustomed to a level of dramatisation. We expect we know how it starts, what the middle will be, and come to the inevitable conclusion. How wrong the viewer becomes watching this mini series.

To say how good this series is, would entail the length of time to watch it. How Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi were matched, I've no idea yet, without either or both, this series could've fallen flat on it's face. They played off each other with agusto.

The concept is a tour de force, a complete change from the ordinary, and a feast for the eyes and the ears. And the best part is, the villian turns out to be the hero. Go Figure, in modern parlance.

I really hope the last scene of the last episode teases Part II. She looking out for him after him looking out for her. Somehow I don't think there will be a car crash at the beginning of Series 2 however, you never know. After seeing the interloculating stories threading through the main theme, anything is possible, and I for one, am looking forward to the next Series, if it happens.
