I must admit that as a general rule I am not one to watch too many family dramas. The exception to this is Switched at Birth (SAB). The premise is that there are two girl babies who were switched at birth and went home with the ‘wrong’ family. The series begins when the girls are […]
[Please be warned there are spoilers for anyone who has not finished watching the first season of Wentworth] I have just finished watching the first season finale of Wentworth and I have chills running through my body. What a triumphant ending to an outstanding new series. Danielle Cormack needs to be congratulated for her stunning […]
It would not be unreasonable to think that tvweakness had gone for good. It has been 3 weeks with no new posts and it is not as if television has stopped showing. The answer is much simpler – I have been in Europe for the past few weeks on holidays (or think of it as […]
[Please note there are spoilers for those who have not finished watching the third season of Game of Thrones] 1. A woman scorned is a woman to be feared The first woman who springs to mind is Ygritte (Rose Leslie). Many scorned women give empty threats, so isn’t it refreshing to witness one actually going […]
Based on 100% of responses from my last post (thanks Sharon!) I have stepped into the world of the new Australian drama A Place to Call Home. Although I don’t think stepped is the right word. Maybe leapt is a better description, as I have devoured all six episodes in less than 48 hours. It […]

I have just finished watching the 2 hour finale of Smash and there are tears in my eyes and my heart feels a bit warmer. Yes, it was indulgent and why shouldn’t it be? Everything has been leading up to the Tony Awards and songs were aplenty. Although I’m usually not a fan of the […]
Back in the late 1970s a new no holds barred Aussie drama about formidable women inmates called Prisoner began. It ran for 692 episodes over 8 years. It was hard hitting and gained a cult like status not only in Australia but throughout the world. I still remember watching it in my youth and being […]
Once Upon a Time initially caught my attention because of the actress Jennifer Morrison (who I loved in House MD) and because it features one of my favourite writers, Jane Espenson (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). That was more than enough for me to give the show a go and I haven’t looked back. I […]
[Please note there are spoilers for those who have not watched Game of Thrones season 3, episode 7 The Bear and the Maiden Fair.] I never thought I would feel this way but after watching The Bear and the Maiden Fair all I can think about is Jaime Lannister and how much he has grown. […]
[Please note there are spoilers ahead for those who have not watched the finale of the The Good Wife season four.] There was a fair amount of speculation and buzz leading up to the finale of Season Four of The Good Wife. I tried to stay clear of most of it but I wasn’t completely […]
