  1. Sectres and Lies has too many plot holes and I don’t think I’ll go back to see the final eps. If it was after Puberty Blues it would look even more ridiculous. Puberty Blues is pure quality and another tick for Susie Porter. What a talent. The character of Gary is a pretty finely drawn character as well I think. I guess I could go on, it’s a great Aussie show.
