Total Control: Season 1

Embattled but shrewd Australian PM Rachel Anderson (Rachel Griffiths) needed a PR win, and she thought she had it when she elevated Alex Irving (Deborah Mailman), an indigenous nurse with an act of heroism gone viral, to a vacated senate seat. The rookie legislator, however, refused to be a mere prop-and their jousts over policy and public perception would fuel this arch Antipodean political drama. Harry Richardson, Rob Collins, Celia Ireland, Huw Higginson, David Roberts also star. 6 episodes on 2 discs. 5 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
