    Just because a show goes in the direction of a procedural-type show doesn’t mean that it can’t be elevated by a good cast and sharp writing. After the ace performances by Millman and Griffiths, we’re looking forward to seeing what direction Total Control goes in.

    Its portrait of an embattled Australian Senate, of the prime minister’s own battle for survival, all of it drama borne aloft by the electric rage that courses through the dialogue and seems never to dim.

    Part of the problem, in terms of creating interesting dramatic spectacle, is that Alex is a thoroughly reasonable, rational, calm and trustworthy individual. There’s nothing wrong with exploring such characters, but in the age of Donald Trump and our own homegrown colourful personalities (such as Clive Palmer and Jacqui Lambie) truth really is stranger – and in this instance more dramatically engaging – than fiction.
