Total Control

AudienceAudience: 7.7

After a video brings her to national attention, a local Indigenous politician is recruited by Australia’s Prime Minister to join the Senate. As she enters national politics, she faces pressure to fit its expectations while finding her own voice.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like character-led Australian political drama with a compelling central performance and timely themes; Not for you if you want consistently convincing political realism or a forceful tone throughout.
