S2 of scrublands

I'm sure I did a thread for s1 but can't find it. Weird

But go and watch scrublands s1 first if haven't seen so can watch this on Monday and Tuesday x 2 week

Aussie actor Luke Arnold is back, reprising his role as journalist Martin Scarsden in the highly anticipated second season of Scrublands.
The series – titled Scrublands: Silver – premieres today, and this time shifts from the parched plains of Riversend to the coastal town of Port Silver in Western Australia.

This season will see Martin's past catching up with him as he investigates the murder of his childhood friend, Jasper Speight (Hamish Michael), with his partner Mandy Bond (Bella Heathcote) as the prime suspect.

"In the first season, Martin was the outsider; he was not too personally connected to this mystery at hand,"

"I feel really at home in Martin, for better or worse." Arnold says about this role in Scrublands: Silver. (Stan)
"But in Season 2, it's Martin's past coming back to bite him. It's deeply personal.

"He wants to get to the truth because he wants the truth, not because he's gonna write in a story."

Silver unveils murderous plot twist as Luke Arnold reprises his role as investigative journalist (https://www.nine.com.au/entertainment/latest/stan-scrublands-season-2-silver-luke-arnold-bella-heathcote/ee019d5a-130c-4c98-ba23-e04eccf13b8c)

The backdrop of Western Australia, particularly the small town of Augusta, plays a significant role in the narrative.

The new season introduces a fresh ensemble of characters, adding layers to the already complex narrative.

"We have some people from Martin's past," Arnold says. "We have David Roberts coming in as Uncle Vern, whose connection with Martin is one of my favourite relationships in the show."

Also starring this season is Luke Carroll, Hamish Michael, Deb Lawrence and Tasma Walton, among others.

Assuming s3 will be trust and will come in the future

I watched them all and always use subtitles as my hearing isn’t the best.and so many actors mumble. Sadly, for some reason there were no subtitles on Episode 4 so I couldn’t hear the dialogue. ☹️

Anyone else feel very sorry for baby Liam who seemed to be passed from one person to another to be minded. Even when Mandy woke up after her poisoning ordeal, from what I could see, she didn’t ask about Liam. Surely that would be the first thing after initial confusion?

Ditto @deeahgwitch

I was disappointed in this one after enjoying the first series.
Was all a bit boring and not much of a story really!
Agree about baby Liam

I think the issue was Mandy. She didn't really work for me as a character, her motivations always looked unclear.

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/07/2025 14:09

Yet she was good in s1

Her relationship with Jasper seemed unclear, and she didn't didn't seem to be very fond of Martin, despite his looking out for her. Or Liam, for that matter!

Yes it was too Mandy-centric for me.

I didn't find it as interesting/absorbing as the first series & the killer being who it was seemed to be for shock value.
