fabulous '80s "trash wallow", 5 July 2005
8/10
Author: blanche-2 from United States

We used to call these opulent '80s mini-series "trash wallows." Unfortunately, they don't make them like this anymore. And I don't think anybody ever equaled the gigantic trash wallow of Return to Eden.

First of all, it's Australian, with one gorgeous hunk after another - that in itself made it worth sitting through. Also it's an extreme makeover story before there were REAL extreme makeovers on reality TV. And this one's a doozie. Ugly, matronly, but loaded with cash, our heroine marries a hubba-hubba who, enamored with someone else (like five minutes after the wedding), throws his wife to the crocodiles. Maimed, she survives with the help of an old man and a handsome plastic surgeon who works wonders and falls for her in the bargain. She then becomes the toast of the modeling world and seeks her revenge.

It's really too good. I own it.
