Mary Bryant (2005–2007)
2/10
Lots of factual errors
5 February 2020
The show was entertaining, so I guess on that, it is something of a success. But, I read the book , and followed up with some private research because I had never heard of Mary Bryant or what she had notoriously achieved. But the movie is riddled with "artistic licence". Way too much for my liking, And such a pity because no-one in my circle of friends or acquaintances has heard of her which is a pity because in my opinion, what happened is part of history that merits more awareness in the Australian public, howver notorious, and almost falling into the category of folkore something slightly along the lines of Ned Kelly but not quite, So for a program that can offer some education to the public about our history, it falls dismally short. I don't encourage people to watch it, unless you are well aware that there are numerous flaws. Read about her at least on Wikipedia and learn how fascinating her story truly is/was.Or better still read the book.
