sounds very interesting , but with a cut down to 6 episodes , are they enthusiastic about a Season 3?? probably not !!
Looking forward to seeing it continue this Tuesday.

@James, that’s a shame the Foxtel writer blurted that out … though to be honest it won’t make a scrap of difference to your enjoyment of the series. It’s apparent within the first seconds what’s occurred and then the series takes off on its journey, just like the first series did.

Well unfortunately the writer for the Foxtel magazine decided to wreck the suspense for everyone and reveal the future of Vince which was a shame. All well, still really looking forward to the second series of what was my favourite Australian show of last year!

I’m disappointed there will only be 6 episodes, but really looking forward to series 2! I fell in love with this show, like so many series on Showcase that would never get a decent chance on free to air.
I have recommended Tangle to many friends who don’t have Pay TV, who have bought the series on DVD and loved it.

No, it is not a joke… you will see it appear a lot in Love my Way and Tangle. … its in clothing combos, bed sheet combos… I see it a lot. Just thought it may have been a signature colour they like to use.

agreed, but if brand new Entourage episodes can not pull an audience on SBS in primetime and they need to schedule after 10pm, good series drama doesn’t stand a chance on free tv….

Cracking series. It is a shame it’s only six eps but there’s not a wasted line of dialogue, shot or scene. Very cleverly manages to explore all of the existing characters further within a very tight timeframe plus introduce a couple of new, pivotal characters. I guess we can see these series as the best, high end drama Australia produces, comparable with Sopranos, The Wire et al. They certainly fill a niche, serve a purpose and are appreciated by many, just not a lot!

ahaha, is the “Red and Turquoise” line a joke??

i would say DOP or Art Directors had a bit to do with that if that is actually a recurring theme (have never noticed but will look for it now, odd). Would be quite funny if he was a closet colour tone nazi…..

I agree with Adam – there’s no point comparing Seven’s production line drama to John Edwards’ style – they’re totally different approaches to drama with the obvious results. For Nine and Seven it’s just the battle of the blands – Rebecca vehicle versus Lisa vehicle. The audience has tired of CH too – Rush is so much better in every way.

It is a pity thyat so few people get to watch shows like Tangle & Love My Way. They deserve a much bigger audience.

Can’t wait. Shame it goes head to head with Packed to the Rafters. Will need to record it.

Just 6 episodes ?? thats disapponting . I guess it had to be a police series or set in a hospital to be worthy of more than 6 episodes.
I wish Rush was only 6 episodes and Tangle Season 2 was 22 episodes !!!
More of the different instead of the same.

I already know if he lives or dies, showtime actually put up the series 2 episode summaries online, but now they have been removed, won’t spoil it for anyone but its pretty obvious what happens

I thought the Outrageous Fortune series 5 cliffhanger was far better

John Edwards has been the best TV producer Australian TV has seen in many, many years and there is no comparison to ‘Packed to the Rafters’ – which I thought was a comedy by the title and took me a long time to start watching it.

John has slick story telling and if I am not mistaken he loves the colours Red and Turquoise… this combo features a lot in his dramas…. is it a secret signature colour?

As for Satisfaction, is there a season 4? Going by the terrible season 3 I doubt it… John should jump on board that ship and keep it floating.

Looking forward to all the other JE productions… stunning work… I cant wait to see what the future John brings to Aussie TV. I even like Rush!
