Annie Maynard plays Bess, who finds it difficult to bond with her upper class mother; until she realises that she is not her real mother. This series is about an educated mother's connection with her biological family after finding out she was adopted. Her real family is a bunch of bogans and it was interesting to see another Kath and Kim formula hit the ABC. It was interesting to see Glenn Robbin's play Bess' real father. I have always loved the work of Glenn Robbins and although this wasn't a drastic character change from Kel, the glass eye and interest in racing was a little bit different from the man bags and purveying of fine meats. Michala Banas who is cast as Amber, takes on similar characteristics as Kim Craig, the separation from her husband, the hair and the attitude. I have just streamed two episodes online from iView at the moment, but I definitely will continue to view this show. It's a cross between Housos and Kath and Kim. The camera work is also shaky and fly-on-the-wall like the original Kath and Kim series (when it was with ABC) and it's similarities are enough to draw me into the show as a regular! The creators, Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope (The Librarians) have the essence of this show down pat! Well done!!
