Review of Secret City

Secret City (2016–2019)
5/10
Cell City or the code Season 3?
25 July 2018
As most of the action seemed to involve cell phones, SIM cards and computers, this series should have been called Cell CIty. I found the plot very confusing and was not really sure who was who by the end reveal. I also found the inclusion of the ex husband who had turned into a woman very odd. There was simply no reason for the transgender character who was so obviously a man that I found him distracting.

I lived and worked for the Commonwealth Government in Canberra for many years, which is why I watched the series, but the Canberra I knew was nothing like the one shown in the series. Either the times have changed greatly or I was totally blind. As for the main character played by Anna Torv, she wrecked the life of everyone she came in contact with and left a trail of destruction behind her I felt like saying 'run, run - get away fast' whenever she asked someone to do something illegal.

Overall, I found the technological thriller aspect with the constant use of cell phones and computers rather annoying, and they sure got through a lot of cell phones dunking them in the lake, bathtub, sink, toilet or anywhere handy!
