In a sea of missing person mysteries, this six-part series, about a family who come together when one member seemingly drowns, is engrossing and clever
When it comes to directing top-notch performances in moody dramas, Krawitz has form, his oeuvre including episodes of The Kettering Incident and the excellent Christos Tsiolkas adaptation Dead Europe.
Sarah appears throughout the show in gracefully executed glimpses that feel more like coils of memory than traditional flashbacks. In the first episode , Claire sees a photograph of her sister stuck to a mirror, causing her mind to drift. Krawitz cuts to flower-emblazoned sheets rolling like waves, before revealing that Sarah is making the bed.
Krawitz expresses all of this without putting it in highlighter pen, entrusting the viewer to grasp the meaning without labouring the point, while leaving enough elbow room for multiple interpretations. The show’s final revelations and moments of catharsis are a little neat, wrapping things up decisively, but this is a class act from beginning to end.
The first episode of Significant Others is available to watch on ABC iView now, with the following five screening weekly at 8:30pm Sundays on ABC
