Ten Pound Poms (2023– )
6/10
Revisionist reimagined fantasy spread thin with large cast
18 May 2023
This drama plays to negative stereotypes of Oz almost 70 years ago and overlays much 2023 liberal acceptance from the Poms who appear incredibly enlightened for a working class Lancashire group.

Geography is impossible with surf, the outback, country towns and deserted beaches all within a few minutes walk or short drive in a Holden!

The talented Pom/Ozzie cast struggle with the multiple superficial characters and a wooden script. Cut the multiple subplots and concentration on the central family would have been a good move.

Oh, the immigration program was a screaming success, not an antipodean hell!
