Total Control (2019–2024)
10/10
Pause whatever you are watching and move into this! The full package indeed!
4 January 2024
On seeing seasons 1 and 2 I have to bow in acclaim. This was my first contact with Deborah Millman and I just will say she is a tremendous actress! All the spectrum of human emotions she can deliver and shine. Rachel Griffith composes a perfect performance. (The actor playing Charlie seems to have just one single facial expression and throw it to the camera in every scene, a pity).

The show is centered on the strength and vulnerability of two main female characters--a veteran cunning PM and a newcomer to the political game. The themes bring to the table important issues, while the development focuses on individual action as a seed of change. It is perfectly well performed and directed, and is as thrilling and nail-biting as it can get until the last minute.

Together with The Newsreader, it set a high standard for Aussie TV and it is a refreshing, highly engaging and powerful show.
