Plum

I'm enjoying the series a lot. I caught a little on ABC and though I had little idea what was going on I knew I wanted to watch it from the start on iView and find out.

You can sometimes tell a passion project, which on looking into it, it certainly is for Brendan Cowell.

There's a multi-faceted approach and depth to the characters I caught straight away. Even as you can see the damage Plum is causing other people around him and are affected by this, you feel bad for him, with his identity and world set to fall apart. Same as the other characters around him. I don't often feel like that watching a show these days.

Along these lines, the seemingly mandatory DEI inclusions, I liked the characters so far. I haven't got my back up about it. What a relief. I hate being that guy. I spent a lot of time with Sylvia Plath's work and Bukowski's for a time too so was intrigued seeing these hallucinations.

There's a tension from knowing what will happen to the sport, to people's careers and more if the truth comes out and everyone trying to avoid it. How many other players, how many lawsuits? I'm hooked.
