REVIEW: LOTOH - A Take on the Mid-century Soap Opera?

Web Series: LIFE OF THE OTHER HALF

For fans of...: ONE LIFE TO LIVE; THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS

What it is: A bunch of privileged Aussie singles make their lives more difficult than they need to be.

What's good: This series takes us back to the days when daytime soaps were about the sort of glamorously banal drama only spoiled young pretties endure. Embraces classic soap archetypes (The Socialite, The Casanova, The Perfect Wife) while freshening with a spritz of faux-doc-style irony.
