Sweet River
Some places just seem to attract sadness. In Australian supernatural drama
Sweet River, those tragedies tesselate, interwoven and interlocked even as they break everyone involved into fragments.
Hanna (Lisa Kay) is shattered well before she s first seen heading to the small town of Billins, a middle-of-nowhere sugar cane community with a bitter history. She suspects that her son was the victim of a serial killer who lived and died there, but his body has never been found. That s why no one can be too harsh when she rolls up, dredging for old memories, heartbroken, furious that the cops have up the hunt. It s why John (veteran Australian character actor Martin Sacks) and Elenore Drake (Genevieve Lemon) let her stay at a rented property.
