Wakefield (2021)
10/10
Brilliant Australian series !!!
14 April 2021
Brilliant Actors. Set in a psychiatric facility in a beautiful bush location it centres around the staff and patients and how their lives are all entwined. Most of the patients are suffering from severe depression and/or mental illness and highlights how disabilities you cant see ( like someone in a wheelchair) are so misunderstood. What makes this series stand out is how it cleverly repeats scenes over and over going back and showing what happens with each person but yet still manages to make it flow. Then the icing on the cake is how they suddenly break out into tap dancing and singing in the middle of a scene- its fantastic! The ending made me ball my eyes out- so emotional. The main character Nik, head nurse is trying to remember the circumstances surrounding the death of his little brother as kids while trying to care for his patients. The actor is British but he sounded as Aussie as ever. Probably one of the best Aussie tv series ive ever watches.
