Finally getting around to watching 3rd series of Total Control. While it’s not depicting any actual Australian pollies, & the plot is fictional, the context & very minor references to real life, like the suggestion the PM goes on a holiday to Hawaii during a major natural disaster, are gold. Mailman as the central character & Griffith as one of many main characters are fantastic. And many others. Great acting, writing & everything else. And an Indigenous Australian PM. Oh okay, & some eye candy.
