Just in case you’re not across Succession and the quietly devastating excellence of Sarah Snook, director Daina Reid, who previously worked with the fellow Australian on ABC show The Secret River, says she’s almost too good.
A moment when Sarah stands on her back balcony, whipped by wild winds, looking out to where the suburbs surrender to the bush recalls the perennial theme of danger out ‘there’ in Australian horror. ‘The Australian landscape is so beautiful, and I’ve just got back from six months away, so it’s so emotional,’ Reid says. ‘But at the same time, there’s something terrifying about it. It’s bigger than we can comprehend and we’re very small, so there’s the beauty and the terror.’
