“(also what is up with the last names)” – trying to make up for the fact that the cast made up of extremely white ppl probably… the networks shows in australia are notoriously bad at diverse casting. only our public broadcasters have a good mix of people.

They seem more like fancying them up European style but maybe that’s the point as well? Because you’re right, this was actually extraordinarily white, I don’t remember even any POC side characters. At least Les Norton has Billy and My Life is Murder had Madison, to name two other recent Aussie shows, but this had like not even a speaking role in this first ep? It must have but I’m not gonna go through it to look.
