Cate Blanchett, Yvonne Strahovski and Dominic West headline an Australian Netflix series about immigrants stuck in the hell of"administrative detention."
The appealing cast features Cate Blanchett, who is one of the series’ creators along with writer Elise McCredie and Tony Ayres. An ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Blanchett plays a fishy dance school guru, with Yvonne Strahovski as a vulnerable young German woman who is drawn into her circle.
Nor is Sophie a very positive role: Ignored as a child in favor of her older sister, she is a manipulative, insecure soul teetering on the edge of a breakdown when she meets Pat and Gordon Masters , who run a cultish feel-better dance therapy studio to the tune of $400 dollars a week.
The other major thread belongs to Ameer. A young father, he and his wife left Afghanistan when they saw the Taliban loading girls of their daughters’ age on a truck and leaving with them. After Ameer pays all their savings for a boat from Pakistan to Australia, he finds the organizers have stolen the money, and gets separated from the rest of the family. His heartbreaking and all-too-common story is told in bits and pieces.
