The Beautiful Lie (2015)

Sarah Snook (the sister in Succession, also The Dressmaker, Steve Jobs), Benedict Samuel, Rodger Corser (the farmer), Sophie Lowe (the sister with mental health problems), Celia Pacquola (the other sister), Daniel Henshall (cheating husband, Snowtown), Kath and Kim's Gina Riley and Robert Menzies, Daniel Wyllie.

More The Slap than This Is Us (we were led here by the latter's fan site) as Australians fuck around with one another emotionally. Tragic, in the end, though episode one did give away the ending, which I'm not sure was the right thing to do.

Alice Bell wrote it, apparently as an update of 'Anna Karenina', with Jonathan Gavin. Directed by Glendyn Ivin and Peter Salmon. Liked the music by Alan John, and the band/ singer being recorded.
