Episode Fifty-Four: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie Episode Fifty-Five: Good Cop, Bad

[admin]

Well considering that the official site didn't even list its return date til this week, I'm not surprised only 900 000 viewers tuned in. A lot of people may not have known it was on.They've left fans hanging for the best part of a year. They should have started advertising its return a month ago and built up some anticipation.

I enjoyed the episode. I was glad they didn't split it because after Simon was cleared of the first charge, and then he was shown in the light of a killer right after, I was thinking WTF? Why would they clear him and then have him suddenly become a murderer?

The suspense was well built though because I was actually thinking maybe he'd had a blackout, esp after he had called Stanley. ( Great to see him back btw.)

I thought the team worked well together tonight. They all seemed to have equal billing. Having Nick working on a separate case at times was a great way to work him in without overshadowing the work done by the rest of the team.

And it was great to see so many smiles from Duncan in the first case. I just love that smile of Aaron's.

I loved the way the team all supported Simon, and the way he left at the end was actually perfect. I loved that song and the playback of past cases in his head that accompanied it. It was a fine way for Daniel to leave the series.

Georgie played a very unlikeable woman with a definite bias against Simon. She did a great job though. And though I liked Tasma's characters support of Simon, I still don't like her. Is it evil of me to hope she carks it next week? 

Here's hoping more people are tuning in next week.
