Sirens drawing us toward Tidelands..
Motley mix of Aussies surface in sexy and shocking drama
Carol, above, and with rival Hayley, right great drama – think Top of the Lake or Underbelly – so it’s about time Netflix tapped into its talent.
One of Underbelly’s most charismatic villains, Peter O’brien, reappears in another baddie/goodie role as Bill Sentelle. There’s another layer to the drama courtesy of the community of half-human, half-siren Tidelanders led by the young revolutionary Violca.
Madeleine Madden, who plays the seductress, said she watched Thandie Newton’s scenes from Westworld to prepare for her sexually charged role.
She revealed: “I drew a lot of inspiration from Thandie Newton’s Maeve Millay.
“I would watch snippets of her in my trailer before going on set to try and get as much of that kind of sexual and scheming character.”
Tidelands is unsettling, shock- ing and sexy – and all episodes are available to stream now.
