Wanted

Bad place, bad time… Two women witness a crime while waiting at a bus stop. Kidnapped, they manage to escape, only to find out that they are accused of the murders.

Why it is a good show. Lola is a strong woman, Chelsea a fragile one. Or so it seems at the beginning. the theme of the duo with opposing personalities has been exploited many times. There’s even a vague reference to Thelma and Louise. But this characters are well written. Their past is gradually revealed, revealing their strengths and weaknesses. The journey and the stress will also reveal that they are not what they seem. But beyond the duo, with impeccable actresses, it’s the intrigue and action that make the series a good show. The first episode doesn’t give you time to breathe, the others are a little slower, but the pace of the action remains good. Embark on a journey from Sydney to the northern desert, between chase and friendship.
