The new season will look at the separation of generations from one another and the stretching of family ties.

AUS Television: Tangle, Episode 2.6
Tangle
Season Two, Episode Six
Original Air Date: August 24, 2010
Gabriel breaks up with Sophie telling her his "heart isn't in it". Tim goes to Singapore and tells Max to look after Christine. Ally confronts Tanya about the money she's getting and finds out it is for her daughter Ophelia who is Vince's daughter. Gigi overhears Ally and Christine talking about Vince and Ophelia. Max and Nat tell Christine that he wants to live with Nat. Christine is angry, Max tells her she disgusts him and Christine slaps him. Max leaves and goes to Ally's house. Christine and Spiros' relationship goes to another level. Gigi ends up missing and she has gone to see Ophelia.
What an episode!
I kind of thought that Gabriel wouldn't be able to stay with Sophie very long. It doesn't matter who he goes to, his heart is always with Ally.
Speaking of, Ally has her hands FULL this week! She follows Tanya to the grocery where she confronts her about the money Vince left her in his will. It's for Tanya's daughter, Ophelia, who happens to be Vince's daughter. Vince and Tanya carried on an affair for two years and he was the one to break it off when Ally became pregnant with Gigi. Ally seems almost able to deal with the fact Vince had an affair with Tanya. After all, Vince having affairs isn't old news to Ally. I think it would have been easier for her had a child not been in the picture.
An upset Ally calls Christine needing to talk about everything. Gigi overhears the two women talking and leaves to see Ophelia. Not knowing where Gigi went sends Ally into a state of panic. She calls Gabriel, Christine and Nat and, like true friends and family, they come to her aid immediately.
Gigi and Romeo both know about Ophelia being their sister. Gigi remarked to Romeo that he was becoming like their father and he is. Romeo is holding a lot of anger right now. I truly hope that living around Joe, who seems to be much calmer and less prone to fits of anger than Vince, does Romeo some good.
Christine and Spiros. For a while there I didn't think anything would end up happening between them. He wasn't about to give up though, running down a flight of stairs to meet the elevator. It will be interesting to see just what comes of their new relationship in season three (if there is one). Will it be a long lasting one? Will it just be a little fling?
I loved how this series ended. The ending of series one was shocking and sad because of the death of Vince. This series ended much differently. It almost felt like an entirely new chapter was starting in Ally's life. She had her family together, she had her friends together, she kissed Gabriel! and Max and Christine have sort of made up but they still have TONS of talking to do about so many things.
I had to smile as the camera pulled back on Ally sitting at her radio in the shed Joe had built for her. It was nice to see her doing that again; nice to see her life coming back together. She always seemed so happy sitting there talking with her cosmonaut friend.
Well, this is the end of season two. It's bittersweet because, while it's great to find out what happened I'm really going to miss the show. The writers and actors on this show are brilliant. Here's hoping there will be news of a third season very soon!

AUS Television: Tangle, Episode 2.5
Tangle
Season Two, Episode Five
Original Air Date: August 17, 2010
Ally, who appears to have developed a case of sleepwalking, is awakened walking down the middle of the street at night. Gabriel drops in to see Ally once the kids and Joe are gone for the day. Tim starts looking for apartments in Singapore. Christine takes Max to see a therapist because of his lying about his hearing while seeing a therapist herself. Gigi goes to see her friend again. Max has a serious question for Nat. Christine tells Tim she doesn't want to go to Singapore. Spiros steps up his pursuit of Christine.
Max and Christine have a talk about his relationship with Kelly. She wants to make sure that not only are they having safe sex, but good sex. Max is a bit put off talking to her about sex.
Both Christine and Max's therapy sessions are revealing about what they do and don't want. They both don't want to go to Singapore but for very different reasons. Max sees Singapore as "another complication". For Christine, she feels if she doesn't go it will destroy her marriage.
Romeo and Max skip school to go to the pub. When Romeo gets drunk Max has to call Joe to come pick him up. Romeo confides in Joe that he misses his dad. I think Joe is probably a better father figure than Romeo's dad was. Sure, we don't know what all of Joe's secrets are yet but he still appears to be a more kind and caring man than Vince ever was. He doesn't seem to be near as selfish.
Ally invites Gabriel, his girlfriend and her son over for dinner. Nat invites Conrad. While he's drunk, Romeo invited Ophelia and Olivia over to his house for a party. Sophie is star struck over Nat. Everything she says ends up coming out wrong. Joe catches Gabriel kissing Ally before he ends up sitting in on the seance the kids are having. Gigi wants to know if her dad's spirit is there. The seance breaks up but not before some of the kids feel something in the room.
I find it very interesting that Max is actually considering living with Nat instead of going to Singapore. I think in a very strange way that Nat would make a great mother to Max. She obviously loves him a lot and I think she'd try her best to do the best for him.
Christine truly wants to have an affair with Spiros. They end up sharing a passionate kiss in Spiros' car outside the Williams' house and Max catches them. Christine begs him not to tell Tim. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of fireworks in the Williams house very soon!
Next weeks season finale sure does look to be an exciting one! Nat and Max confront Christine with the fact Max, who now apparently really dislikes Christine, wants to live with his mother. Ally confronts the woman Vince left $50,000 to. Gigi comes up missing. I hate it that the season is coming to an end so soon but, at the same time, I can't wait to see next weeks show!

AUS Television: Tangle, Episode 2.4
Tangle
Season Two, Episode Four
Original Air Date: August 10, 2010
Tim is angry over recent political developments and says some things he shouldn't have. Max has an appointment to be fit for a hearing aid. Ally's credit card is declined at the grocery leading her to look into her finances and finds that Vince left $50,000 to a Tanya Hicks. Christine and Spiros almost have an encounter in her office but she cannot go through with it. Nat goes out with Conrad. Tim calls Nat and tells her he really needs to see her. The girl next door sneaks into Max's room again and Christine catches them together.
Tim talks himself into a corner when he makes some ill-chosen comments about the Premier to a journalist. He's advised to lay low for a couple years and offered a job in Singapore. He clearly doesn't want that job but I think he slowly came to realize that he made a huge mistake and left himself few options. Spiros is told to talk up the Singapore job to Tim. Tim actually asked Nat to run away to Singapore with him! Did it really not come as a big surprise to anyone else that Tim would want to run away with Nat over Christine? He's still got a thing for Nat. We all know that!
At the hearing aid appointment, Christine learns that Max has been faking his hearing loss. She gets an even bigger shock when she finds Max and the girl from next door in bed. Everything seems to be crumbling for Christine and Tim right now. It doesn't look good for their marriage and with Tim's professional life going downhill fast things are only going to go from bad to worse.
Poor Ally. Vince still manages to make her life miserable even from the grave. His leaving $50,000 to Tanya Hicks has caused her problems and the one person she turns to for help, Gabriel, has disappointed her too. Joe has his secrets (and I can't wait to find out what they are!) but he comes through for Ally and raises some money to give her for rent for him staying with her. He's there for her when she feels horrible after finally seeing Tanya Hicks, and he has kind things to say to her. Joe gets more interesting to me with each week.
Oh, Nat! She just doesn't disappoint, does she? I knew there would be something starting up between Nat and Conrad. That she couldn't resist him. Nat seemed so down to earth in this episode. She was giving good advice, nurturing in her relationship with Max and generally someone people could turn to. That's not our normal Nat, is it? Her being so complex and never knowing what to expect from her is exactly why she's one of my very favorite characters on the show.
At this point in the season it's good news/bad news time. The good news is that there are two more episodes to go. The bad news is that there are two more episodes to go. With all the interesting developments going on and with the writers on this show being so good at ending with a bang the wait between the end of the second season and the start of the third (there has to be a third!) will be excruciating!

His leaving $50,000 to Tanya Hicks has caused her problems and the one person she turns to for help, Gabriel, has disappointed her too. Joe has his secrets (and I can't wait to find out what they are!) but he comes through for Ally and raises some money to give her for rent for him staying with her. He's there for her when she feels horrible after finally seeing Tanya Hicks, and he has kind things to say to her. Joe gets more interesting to me with each week.
Oh, Nat! She just doesn't disappoint, does she? I knew there would be something starting up between Nat and Conrad. That she couldn't resist him. Nat seemed so down to earth in this episode. She was giving good advice, nurturing in her relationship with Max and generally someone people could turn to. That's not our normal Nat, is it? Her being so complex and never knowing what to expect from her is exactly why she's one of my very favorite characters on the show.
At this point in the season it's good news/bad news time. The good news is that there are two more episodes to go. The bad news is that there are two more episodes to go. With all the interesting developments going on and with the writers on this show being so good at ending with a bang the wait between the end of the second season and the start of the third (there has to be a third!) will be excruciating!
Season Two, Episode Four
Original Air Date: August 10, 2010
Tim is angry over recent political developments and says some things he shouldn't have. Max has an appointment to be fit for a hearing aid. Ally's credit card is declined at the grocery leading her to look into her finances and finds that Vince left $50,000 to a Tanya Hicks. Christine and Spiros almost have an encounter in her office but she cannot go through with it. Nat goes out with Conrad. Tim calls Nat and tells her he really needs to see her. The girl next door sneaks into Max's room again and Christine catches them together.
Tim talks himself into a corner when he makes some ill-chosen comments about the Premier to a journalist. He's advised to lay low for a couple years and offered a job in Singapore. He clearly doesn't want that job but I think he slowly came to realize that he made a huge mistake and left himself few options. Spiros is told to talk up the Singapore job to Tim. Tim actually asked Nat to run away to Singapore with him! Did it really not come as a big surprise to anyone else that Tim would want to run away with Nat over Christine? He's still got a thing for Nat. We all know that!
At the hearing aid appointment, Christine learns that Max has been faking his hearing loss. She gets an even bigger shock when she finds Max and the girl from next door in bed. Everything seems to be crumbling for Christine and Tim right now. It doesn't look good for their marriage and with Tim's professional life going downhill fast things are only going to go from bad to worse.
Poor Ally. Vince still manages to make her life miserable even from the grave. His leaving $50,000 to Tanya Hicks has caused her problems and the one person she turns to for help, Gabriel, has disappointed her too.

Season Two, Episode Three
Original Air Date: August 3, 2010
Ally finds a second will that is signed and names Gabriel as executor. Romeo finds and takes one of Vince's guns from a packing box and later wants to join a gun club. Ally and Nat go out together for a night on the town. Gigi spends the evening playing cards with a guy she met that she thought was following her on her way home from school. Gabriel has dinner at the home of a patient and her teenage son while Ally meets a guy at the party she went to with Nat and goes home with him. Romeo and Max continue smoking weed on a regular basis, especially Max. Nat goes to Gabriel to work out some kind of peace between he and Ally. Nat goes out with Mel and her boyfriend Conrad for a drink. Something starts to happen between Christine and Spiros.
Poor Ally. She's carrying so much baggage around with her. She feels guilty about Vince having affairs on her. Like it was her fault he was a dog. The tension between she and Gabriel is still pretty strong even though it appears it's starting to loosen up a bit. I hope they get back on good terms with one another because I really like both characters. Ally deserves something good in her life and she needs to reach out and grab it.
We learn a little bit more about Joe in this episode. He has a criminal record but is unwilling to elaborate on it when asked by Romeo what he did. He comes to stay a week with Ally and the kids instead of returning to Broom because he is rethinking his career path.
I have a really hard time NOT liking Nat. She's wild, unpredictable, funny and she cares a great deal about the people she loves. While she has her problems, she's always so likable.
The beginning of some great fireworks has quite possibly started in this episode. Christine and Spiros are "playing a very dangerous game with a lot to lose". I know there is more to Spiros than meets the eye and can't wait to find out more about him. He obviously wants to begin an affair with Christine and I think she wants to as well but she's afraid of what will happen.
I can only imagine that the next three weeks are going to be packed full of tension, fireworks and bombshells because the scene is most certainly being set for it!

Season Two, Episode Two
Original Air Date: July 27, 2010
Life slowly starts to get back to normal for everyone following Vince's death. Gabriel is becoming ever more distant to Ally as his and Nat's affair continues. The tension in Christine and Tim's marriage grows. Nat faces trouble with a colleague. Ally and Gabriel find Vince's will in his office and Tim gets Ally to sign the papers for the land sale Vince was working on when he died. Ally learns about Gabriel and Nat's affair. Three months later, Ally and the kids have moved into a new house and Nat is invited to move in. Romeo has anger issues to deal with. Christine and Tim both have great news to celebrate.
After last weeks somber goodbye to Vince Kovac, this weeks show starts off running with the tangled web that is the lives of the characters. The family and friends who came in to pay their respects to Vince go home and everyone goes back to their normal routines.
Nat and Gabriel are still having sex virtually every time they see each other. He's not very happy and is struggling with a whole host of emotions over Vince's death and how he does or doesn't feel about Ally. I knew it would only be a matter of time before Ally learned of Nat and Gabriel's relationship and wondered how she would react to it. It wasn't good.
Nat is true to form. The producer that refused to give her the weather girl job wants to replace her on her job with a younger woman. Scheming Nat refuses to let that happen and starts planting the seeds of revenge against her nemesis. I can only imagine that, at some point, her scheming is going to get her into trouble and we'll be left with one very unhappy Nat.
The tension in Christine and Tim's marriage seems to be building at the start of the episode but as the show progresses it doesn't seem so bad. In the first season, Christine seemed a bit selfish and controlling but she doesn't seem that way now. She appears to have a lighter attitude this season and I like that.
In the last six minutes of the show, we skip ahead three months to see that Ally and the kids are starting to build a new life without Vince. They have moved into a new home. After the disappointment and anger of learning of the affair between Nat and Gabriel, Ally has become friends with her sister once again and asks her to move in with her and the kids. Both Christine and Tim have great career news to celebrate while Romeo appears to be dealing with his issues with anger.
These new developments can only lead to more complications and problems for our characters down the road. Tim's assistant didn't seem too pleased about Christine's new job. Nat tells Ally she must have Gabriel back in her life.
Tangle certainly doesn't disappoint if you're looking for a show with complicated twists and turns and complex and interesting characters. The only problem I had with this episode was it seemed like the hour was over before it even started.

The Kovac family deals with the death of Vince as the relatives get together for his funeral. Joe Kovac comes to the funeral and it's clear he and Vince did not get along. Everyone deals with Vince's death in their own way. Christine catches Nat doing drugs with one of Romeo's friends. A tipsy Ally shocks everyone at the wake.
There really isn't too much that can be said about this episode as everything that happened was pretty straightforward. The storyline has picked up a day or two after where we left off at the end of the first season. It was a quiet season opener and all about how the Kovac family, their friends and loved ones are dealing with Vince's death.
Gabriel and Nat are continuing what they started in the last episode of the first season so things aren't quite what they were before between him and Ally. I think just about everyone was doing some kind of drugs or drinking a lot in this show. Vince's wife and children are each having their own problems coping with their loss. The children are sleeping with Ally every night but she doesn't sleep a wink.
I'm expecting some interesting moments in future episodes if Ally learns of Nat and Gabriel's fling and when Tim and Ally meet to discuss Vince's business dealings. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Joe and hopefully learning why he and Vince didn't get along.

Australian Television: Tangle, Introduction
Tangle is an Australian drama created for the Showcase channel. Filmed in Melbourne, the show chronicles the lives of two generations of two families, the Williams' and the Kovac's. The lives the characters lead are well described by the series title as everything is tangled. Even the opening sequence depicts unhappy, tangled and disorderly lives: a dollhouse where some the occupants include a woman dining alone, a couple who is seemingly angry with one another, etc. Each episode runs approximately 50-60 minutes and the show consists of one completed season with a second season to begin shortly.
The cast features: Ally Kovac (Justine Clark, All Saints), Max Williams (Blake Davis), Gabriel Lucas (Matt Day), Romeo Kovac (Lincoln Younes, City Homicide), Tim Willaims (Joel Tobeck), Christine Williams (Catherine McClements, Water Rats & Rush) and Nat Manning (Kat Stewart, City Homicide & BlueHeelers).
No one character appears to be the central focus of the show from what I can see. All of them take center stage at one point or another as the complex fabric that is their lives is woven from episode to episode. Max Williams is an intelligent, sensitive and quiet young man who is, in so many ways, the exact opposite of his cousin, Romeo Kovac. Romeo is seemingly in competition with Max (if not full-out jealous of him) in several aspects of their lives including competing for the attentions of a girl they are both friends with, Charlotte Barker. Vince Kovac isn't a very likable man. He has some serious anger management issues, he's crude and is cheating on his wife and makes no attempt to hide it from anyone except his wife, Ally. His behavior creates a whole host of problems but he blames everyone but himself for them. Ally Kovac is often too apologetic and eager to please others instead of reaching out to grab what she really wants even though she's not very happy. She seems content to live with what life has given her. Nat Manning is known for being a wild child and she lives up to that reputation very well. Gigi Kovac is a budding voyeur and snoop who is constantly spying on everyone around her and rifling through other peoples belongings. Gigi gets on my nerves a bit and I can't help but think that child needs to be set straight about her behavior. Tim Williams is a driven and successful politician but he also has a caring side to him. Christine Williams often comes off to me as being insecure, jealous and controlling. She wants things a certain way and is angry if they don't turn out how she wants them. She wants to win--always. I truly do want to be sympathetic to her but I'm finding that a pretty difficult order.
The 'tangled' lives of the characters is truly complex. Nat Manning and Tim Williams are Max Williams' biological parents from an affair they had 15 years ago. Christine Williams is Max's adoptive mother and wife to Tim. Nat Manning and Ally Kovac are sisters. Max Williams and Romeo Kovac are cousins. Charlotte Barker, Max & Romeo's friend, is the daughter of Em Barker, the woman Vince Kovac is having an affair with. Romeo is actively pursuing Charlotte despite the fact Max is fond of her. Romeo knows this and that fuels him all the more. Charlotte has been romantically involved with both Romeo and Max.
I first saw Kat Stewart as Claire in season one of City Homicide. I liked her character there and I like her in Tangle. In both, she is a woman who is beautiful and perfect on the outside but deeply flawed on the inside. She's very believable in roles of this nature and a pleasure to watch on screen. I'm very sympathetic to the Nat Manning character even though she causes a lot of her own problems. I find Nat to be almost heartbreaking in a lot of ways. It was because of her that I first started watching Tangle.
Tangle isn't faced paced action by any means. It's a complex drama that moves along at a pace that isn't so slow it feels like it's plodding along but not so fast the viewer feels lost as to what is happening. Someone who likes their drama to move along at a rapid pace might not find this show to their taste. I think Tangle appeals most to viewers who enjoy a complex drama that leaves them thinking long after the episode is over. They wonder what will happen next and think about how the characters got to the point they're at. American television would probably label it a "night time soap opera" but there's nothing amateurishly silly about Tangle like you would find on your typical "soap opera".
Filming of a second season began on February 1, 2010 and wrapped up on March 19, 2010. The second season will run six episodes and premiere on July 20, 2010.

Australian Television: Tangle, Introduction
Tangle is an Australian drama created for the Showcase channel. Filmed in Melbourne, the show chronicles the lives of two generations of two families, the Williams' and the Kovac's. The lives the characters lead are well described by the series title as everything is tangled. Even the opening sequence depicts unhappy, tangled and disorderly lives: a dollhouse where some the occupants include a woman dining alone, a couple who is seemingly angry with one another, etc. Each episode runs approximately 50-60 minutes and the show consists of one completed season with a second season to begin shortly.
The cast features: Ally Kovac (Justine Clark, All Saints), Max Williams (Blake Davis), Gabriel Lucas (Matt Day), Romeo Kovac (Lincoln Younes, City Homicide), Tim Willaims (Joel Tobeck), Christine Williams (Catherine McClements, Water Rats & Rush) and Nat Manning (Kat Stewart, City Homicide & BlueHeelers).
No one character appears to be the central focus of the show from what I can see. All of them take center stage at one point or another as the complex fabric that is their lives is woven from episode to episode. Max Williams is an intelligent, sensitive and quiet young man who is, in so many ways, the exact opposite of his cousin, Romeo Kovac. Romeo is seemingly in competition with Max (if not full-out jealous of him) in several aspects of their lives including competing for the attentions of a girl they are both friends with, Charlotte Barker. Vince Kovac isn't a very likable man. He has some serious anger management issues, he's crude and is cheating on his wife and makes no attempt to hide it from anyone except his wife, Ally. His behavior creates a whole host of problems but he blames everyone but himself for them. Ally Kovac is often too apologetic and eager to please others instead of reaching out to grab what she really wants even though she's not very happy. She seems content to live with what life has given her. Nat Manning is known for being a wild child and she lives up to that reputation very well. Gigi Kovac is a budding voyeur and snoop who is constantly spying on everyone around her and rifling through other peoples belongings. Gigi gets on my nerves a bit and I can't help but think that child needs to be set straight about her behavior. Tim Williams is a driven and successful politician but he also has a caring side to him. Christine Williams often comes off to me as being insecure, jealous and controlling. She wants things a certain way and is angry if they don't turn out how she wants them. She wants to win--always. I truly do want to be sympathetic to her but I'm finding that a pretty difficult order.
The 'tangled' lives of the characters is truly complex. Nat Manning and Tim Williams are Max Williams' biological parents from an affair they had 15 years ago. Christine Williams is Max's adoptive mother and wife to Tim. Nat Manning and Ally Kovac are sisters. Max Williams and Romeo Kovac are cousins. Charlotte Barker, Max & Romeo's friend, is the daughter of Em Barker, the woman Vince Kovac is having an affair with. Romeo is actively pursuing Charlotte despite the fact Max is fond of her. Romeo knows this and that fuels him all the more. Charlotte has been romantically involved with both Romeo and Max.
I first saw Kat Stewart as Claire in season one of City Homicide. I liked her character there and I like her in Tangle. In both, she is a woman who is beautiful and perfect on the outside but deeply flawed on the inside. She's very believable in roles of this nature and a pleasure to watch on screen. I'm very sympathetic to the Nat Manning character even though she causes a lot of her own problems. I find Nat to be almost heartbreaking in a lot of ways. It was because of her that I first started watching Tangle.
Tangle isn't faced paced action by any means. It's a complex drama that moves along at a pace that isn't so slow it feels like it's plodding along but not so fast the viewer feels lost as to what is happening. Someone who likes their drama to move along at a rapid pace might not find this show to their taste. I think Tangle appeals most to viewers who enjoy a complex drama that leaves them thinking long after the episode is over. They wonder what will happen next and think about how the characters got to the point they're at. American television would probably label it a "night time soap opera" but there's nothing amateurishly silly about Tangle like you would find on your typical "soap opera".
