It’s a very peculiar and moving coming-of-age story themed around the destructive sides of love, grief and mental illness, that’s often funny and ultimately, uplifting. Sue aside, nobody much wants him around, and very little in the modern world makes sense to a boy raised on black and white movies and make-believe. Staying with his aunt Sue (Lisa McGrillis) and her family, Danny struggles to understand the world as it is, and finds solace in a dangerous revenge mission. When Danny finally steps outside and realises his father’s lies, he starts living for real, but finds the adjustment tough. It’s the character-driven story of Danny (Lewis Gribben), an 18 year old whose dad had kept isolated in a remote farmhouse his whole life with an invented story that terrifying monsters roamed in the outside world. This 8-part half-hour series was a remarkable debut from creator Pete Jackson. But what could this mean for Annalise (Nadia Parkes), his de facto girlfriend and the daughter of the head of the Fairborn militia? Funny, romantic, gory, with a great story – if you’ve not had a chance to watch, now’s the time. Tortured and isolated in the name of training him up for revenge, a trip to Europe with the charismatic alchemist Gabriel (Emilien Venkmans) opens Nathan’s eyes to the possibility that the Blood witches might not be the bad guys at all. This is the red-raw story of Nathan (Jay Lycurgo) a young witch whose father is the most feared ‘Blood witch’ in the land of the Fairborn witches.
