Bryan Brown’s much hyped ‘NEW’ Australian drama ‘Two Twisted’ didn’t really go off with a bang last night. With cream of the crop Aussie actors Melissa George, Steve Bisley and Gary McDonald, the estranged and spooky ‘Two Twisted’ had a rather more amateur feel.
The plot and story lines reminded me of watching a Tropfest entry or a drama student’s clever, twisted video. There didn’t appear to be much substance to the stories, which is the characteristic of this style.
Viewers were thrown into a scenario that they had to guess the context, not knowing much about the characters before them. The plot would unravel and keep viewers on the edge, guessing what would happen next.
With the audience not receiving many answers to the thousands of rhetorical questions, Brown has created a drama that leaves more unknown, undeveloped than the audience should, leaving gaps and creating dramatic irony.
Nevertheless the drama is at least a return of Australian drama, its something different and hopefully the ratings will come its way. Last night, nationally Two Twisted had an audience share 1.10 million and ranked as the 12th most popular show of Monday night.
Stay tuned and see the mysteries unravel…
