I mentioned in my previous review that once a pilot has aired and established the premise and characters, a show can move on to establishing subplots. The previous episode established a subplot for Ned, Macca and Lukas when Lukas hit Macca with his car and subsequently went to court. This episode established a subplot for Paul and Romi. This time,
Read moreThis episode provided a smooth transition from the pilot–establishing the premise and characters–to developing subplots. The episode kicks off with Lukas, this time in the car with his barrister brother, Miles, on their way to court to deal with the ramifications of Lukas hitting Macca. Their moments together pretty much summed up their sibling relationship–close when they were younger, having
Read moreSo this episode starts the shift from Fern drama to Stephanie drama. The case of the week revolves around a mother and son double fatality. At the start of the episode we see a woman (Audrey) in her car on the side of the road, watching a ute speed past her and hitting a tree off-screen, with the mystery woman
Read moreThe job of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters, and set up story arcs for the season, I felt that this pilot pulled this off beautifully. The premise of the show was established within the first ten seconds of the episode by displaying the dictionary definition of Squinters–“person who commutes to work…squinting into the rising sun
Read moreAfter the tension and high stakes in the previous episode, this one in comparison seemed tame. Nevertheless the start of the episode wasn’t tame in graphic nature with the case of the week kicking off with the discovery of a dismembered young woman on train tracks. For the most part I felt that this case was predictable—-it was obvious that
Read moreThis week the Fern drama and the case of the week came together for the first time. The drugs that Billie gave Fern in the previous episode ends up causing the death of a young woman, and puts others, including Billie himself, in the hospital. While the young woman who takes the drug falls to her death, the murder of
Read moreThis episode interestingly focused more on the case of the week than Fern and the River bones. The case of the week revolved around bones found in a backyard, where it is revealed that they belong to a young homeless woman, Sally (Zindzi Okenyo). While the most obvious suspect was quickly eliminated, what was interesting about this case was that
Read moreThis episode got Harrow out of the office and out of Brisbane. This episode immediately kicked off with the case of the week and I swear that each week, the moments of discovery when it comes to the crime of the week are getting more graphic and gruesome. I’m not sure what the writers’ have planned for next week’s episode,
Read moreNow that the pilot has aired and established the show’s premise and characters, now the fun and character exploration can really begin. We immediately kick off with the case of the week with a group of schoolgirls finding the body of Phillipa Wedburg (Niki-J Price). This case of the week was bizarre and couldn’t be more different from last week’s.
Read moreThe job of a pilot is to establish a show’s premise and characters and set up story arcs for the season. I felt that the pilot of Harrow pulled this off beautifully, even if it did so slowly. The episode starts with an unknown figure pouring concrete over a body and disposing it in the river, followed by the opening
