Darby and Joan (2022– )
6/10
Not exactly bonza mate

I caught up with this programme by accident, I was watching a television series Whitstable Pearl, on the Freeview TV Channel Drama, and Darby and Joan was advertised on there.

Drama now has another TV programme, from the antipodes to match, with the other ANZAK shows.

It's an okay show something that I have, found easy enough to watch principally, because it hasn't as yet sunk into, the mire of an archetypal soap, opera but it's getting there gradually.

I know the actor Bryan Brown as an, Aussie actor for me it's his face, that rings the proverbial bell as one of those that, appear regularly in Australian movies.

Honestly I find Darby and Joan, to be a somewhat contrived, rational for a television show, which commences with, Joan's story of her husband.

The accident between Joan's camper-van, and Darby's Landrover was well avoidable, as the show unfolds I am left, continually asking why does, he bother to stay around her.

Joan seems more than happy to, involve Darby in her travails, but when it comes to anything related to him, she ensures that she can, pry into every facet of his life, and actually expects to be able, to do so by some sort of right.

Now we are getting to see some of, the skeletons popping out of Darby's, closet from his colourful life history.

What of course is inevitable in shows, of this sort is a romantic entanglement, between the two actors involved this is, stamped into the series DNA with the title.
