Hurry up and catch up with episode four already aired
Everyone loves a ‘loose cannon’ or the black sheep of the family, and Rake is the lone voice in this sea of demands who has been ripped from the courtroom and tossed into the senate with his notorious self-destructive behaviour.
Throw in a bit of optimism, wit and the absurdity of parliamentary political debates, and this script showcases Australian humour at its best.
Greene’s relentless charm and ability to pull himself out of both dire and embarrassing situations is ensured; however, you can see how easily he could drown in his own troubled laziness and idealism. Leading by his nether regions, his cringeworthy behaviour is impulsive but ever so entertaining.
Coming out on top most of the time, with sex, drugs, women, rock’n’roll all a constant distraction, having Rake back on Australian television is a flavoursome light refreshment on a Sunday evening.
