It was quite a good Australian drama -
I look forward to the next show in the series.

No worries,
there was plenty of court room drama.
Australia makes some top drama shows.

It was quite good. Made me glad we abandoned the death penalty 40 odd years back too. That was when the PM of the day was brave enough to make controversial decisions.

I still believe in the death penalty - especially for horrendous crimes .
