Wakefield is a difficult show to watch at time, partly because of the subject matter, and partly because it's so real.
But the pay-off is a beautifully scripted story, superb direction, spectacular scenery and a set of flawless performances from an incredible Australian ensemble cast. Oh, and an Englishman as the star, although his Australian accent is so surprisingly good, I think we will make him an honorary Aussie.
The final episode left me sitting quietly for a while contemplating what I'd just watched.
If you want something that is seriously cerebral but still capable of making you burst out laughing, Wakefield is for you.
