While I’ve never seen the Australian original, I can pretty safely infer what it’s like from watching the remake. I’m willing to accept that it probably worked better there, but this version is painfully unfunny. I know that’s not a particularly original sentiment, but I had at some hopes (despite the ads I’d seen for the show) based on my overall like of Selma Blair. She’s profoundly awful here, which is a shame, but I can’t really imagine this show is going to be on much longer.
