A geographer may tell you that suburbs are dull un-characteristic areas that local governments hastily add on to cities whenever a few new houses are called for. A sociologist may tell you that suburbs are marvelously interesting places with a colourful array of peoples living there. This feature length television drama based on these areas elects to follow neither of these schools of thought. In fact, for the component that gave the feature its name, it pays little attention to this subject.Likewise, the story is one that could be pasted into any setting. It is a murder scenario. Half way through we find out who dunnit and the rest of the film is spent trying to make us feel angry or sorry for the person who dunnit and their loved ones which is drawn out with a lot of waffle about the rights and wrongs of the justice system. Unfortunately, with an enter setting in the blanks story line of which the chosen setting remains inept through most of the presentation, I found myself after half an hour thinking at least there's only an hour to go.The feature is pretty blunt. That's not blunt as in frank and sincere, that's blunt as in pointless and incapable of making any lasting mark. I would have a similar if not better impression made on me if I spent ninety minutes looking out of my window at the suburbs in which I live reading a Fredrick Forsyth novel.
