Several other contributors have expressed my views on this advertisement for inclusion and diversity. The apparent murder of a woman central to the lives of many takes a back seat it to the failures of those connected to her.
The episode where the Sydney Gay MardiGras dominates the entire story is one of the worst I've ever seen in a TV series. It was purely pushing the Gay culture and confirming the ABC's commendable commitment to diversity in a context where truth and resolution relating to the woman's death should have been the narrative goal.
Diversity and inclusiveness are necessary components of life, but they need to be portrayed as part of life, not the only dominant factors in human existence. This program tried so hard to embrace all diversity issues that it became overloaded with characters and scenes that seemed unnecessary to me.
I've lost interest in ABC drama. Their comedies are still excellent entertainment - they send up rather than preach.
