Loveday Writing

This episode to me felt like a filler.

This episode was all about getting closer to finding Malik, only to be constantly thrown red herrings. Bassam was a big red herring in his subplot as he wasn’t the biggest problem, his girlfriend was. I felt this subplot was sending mixed messages, trying to tell the viewers to be open minded one minute and suspect Muslims for terrorism the next and I didn’t like it, pick one message and stick with it. I question whether this was a comment on Australian society towards Muslims. I could see Rana playing the police a mile off as there were too little characters in this subplot for the perpetrator to be anyone else.
