If that thread title won't catch the interest of this place, perhaps the trailer will... I've seen one episode so far, and this is really good, touches on a lot of subjects. The main actor is a bit of a bore, but there's a lot of heart in this. Also, Rachel Griffiths.
Oh yeah, from the guy who wrote The Slap. I remember reading terrible reviews of the book, maybe Rachel will save this.
I do not know where you read those reviews but Barracuda is probably the most intense and the most devastating book I've ever read and it's actually better than The Slap. I mean both were amazing obviously, but Barracuda is a masterpiece. I want to read it again but not even sure I could handle it. Had no idea this was a series now and I'm stoked af to see it.
