CGiii Comment

Within the first 5 minutes, you will be as dizzy as hell - the camera work is mind-blowingly awful.

Within 10 minutes, the writing will have you screaming - reality check!

This is not the way forward for TV film drama - Andrikidis is proficient at the Australian soap, it is unlikely that he will progress further.

Haddrick has a talent for writing the Australian soap - he should not be allowed to progress any further.
