Summary: Sinchronicity: Season 1

Summary / Sinchronicity / Season 1
"An excellent story told in a unique way."

Sinchronicity has to be one of my favourite shows of 2006. Through a great mix of drama, comedy and storytelling we're introduced to the world of three characters and their complicated lives. We can all relate to the idea of how one moment can have a great effect on our lives there after and at its core Nathan shows how one moment changed his life forever.

I enjoyed Sinchronicity from start to finish and in summary its a show that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story with a few twists and a lot of laughs.




News: Sinchronicity Won't Be Renewed for Second Season

The question on everyone's lips is will Sinchronicity be renewed for a second season?

The answer is no, the creative team behind Sinchronicity have stated that the series was only intended to have six episodes and they don't plan to continue the story of Nathan, Fi & Jase.

I enjoyed Sinchronicity immensely and but believe that this is good news. There can be a lot of pressure placed on the producers of successful television shows by networks who love to cash in on high ratings. This can sometimes come at the expense of our beloved shows.

Sinchronicity was one of the best shows of the year.

Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 6

Season 1 / Episode 6
"All other TV Shows take note, this is how its done."

What has made this such a great series is: Excellent characters, a quirky love story and brilliant storytelling. The way that the final episode unfolds has you completely absorbed. Two stories are intertwined with us not knowing which is really taking place until the very end.

A complete credit to the cast and crew for bringing this series to life. I think a lot of main stream television shows could learn a few things from this series.

A must watch for anyone who enjoys a drama with a comedy vibe which touches on adult concepts. Some of the best television this year!




Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 5

Season 1 / Episode 5
"Things are coming to a climax and you're left wanting more."

What a ride! Nathan is again left to cover the tracks of Jase. Which isn't easy. Nathan is such a good fried putting everything on the line for his best mate. But he is torn because of his secret love for Fi. This is the centre of our story and what has me captivated.

Nathan is put into hilarious situations, keeping well wishing bar patrons at bay, explaining naughty accessories to nurses and keeping Jase's true sexuality a secret from Fi.

The whole episode I found myself watching Fi to discover the truth but Nathan is forced to lie again for Jase upsetting Fi immensely. Looking forward to next week to see how they wrap this up.




Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 4

Season 1 / Episode 4
"Watching real characters in these odd circumstances makes Sinchronicity so unique and fresh. A must watch!"

Every episode I watch of Sinchronicity I become more addicted. Once again through creative storytelling - switching from past to present back and forth the story unravels piece by piece. As each piece is revealed other parts snap into place making more sense. Like a jigsaw puzzle everything fits together.

The actors bring such emotion and vibrancy to their characters. Again adult and taboo concepts have a major part to play the story but are easily pulled off with a perfect mix of comedy and drama.

I am looking forward to seeing how the story will play out, but at the same time I don't want Sinchronicity to end.




Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 3

Season 1 / Episode 3
"An interesting mystery that will have you guessing and laughing until the very end."

Just when you thought things couldn't get anymore complicated for Nathan. To the writers credit a lot of creative thinking and forethought has been put into this episode and what a result! In the "who did it" style we go on a finger pointing quest of who gave who the dreaded STD.

Secrets are being kept left right and centre. Nathan is tore between the loyalty to his best mate Jase and the feelings of attraction he has for Fi. The actors manage to keep the characters grounded and don't appear devious at all.

With the episodes getting better each week, I hope they don't peak too soon. I'm counting down the days until the next episode!




Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 2

Season 1 / Episode 2
"One of the best original dramas of this year."
Click to read review - may contain spoilers

Brilliant writing, amazing characters and excellent storytelling makes Sinchronicity one of this years best dramas - there's nothing not to like about Sinchronicity. Nathan again takes us on a journey about his, Jase's and Fi's intertangled and more so complicated lives.

The characters have such depth and texture. The creators bring such a fresh sense of drama to the screen, it's a sheer delight to watch the events unfold.

I look forward to next week.




Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 1

Season 1 / Episode 1
"An quirky, joy to watch drama offers a window into the complicated life's of two best mates and one of their girlfriends."

From the start you're thrown into the world of Nathan. Who is an instantly likeable character. This well written, left of centre drama is simply a pleasure to watch. The characters are brought to life by witty dialogue and creative story telling.

Fi has her own style which is extremely sexy in a punk rocker kind of way. The adult content is refreshingly non-mainstream and far from shy. Nathan's opening monologue about how a single moment in you're life can change everything is something we can all relate to.

Nathan easily upholds the roles of main character and narrator. If all TV was this good I'd never leave the sofa.
