I watched some of the much promoted ABC aboriginal superhero TV series Cleverman last night.
A few comments:
* is it just me, or does the body hair on the "hairies" look really, really fake;
* just before the daughter hairy was shot, I think her Mum was clipping her nail, which I could swear wobbled like it was a not-properly-glued on fake nail;
* the newspaper/media owner baddie was terribly arch acting. They should have put a moustache for him to twirl and be done with;
* the whole thing suffers from the over-ernestness that seems typical of TV or movies which try aboriginal quasi mysticism. (I'm thinking the fire sparks sequence in The Right Stuff as another example, but I'm sure there are others not coming to mind.)
I doubt it is worth re-visiting.
