In mid-1989, in the small New South Wales Town of Taree, local residents and law enforcement alike began investigating a woman named Roseanne Catt.
There were allegations that Roseanne was a violent and cruel woman, intent on killing her husband: it was reported that she had thrown a rock at his head, stabbed him with a knife, poisoned his drinks, and solicited hitmen.

Wow! What a fascinating case that I had never heard. Definitely could make a movie about it.
sounds like Australia sucks I thought about maybe visiting that place even looking for a place to live but I don't think it reminds me too much of California I wouldn't even fly over it birds actually fly upside down because it's not even more s******* on
I will admit that I’m feeling the same way as the previous writer. There’s no effort to weave the two, completely different accounts of the same situation, together.
I understand the desire to mix things up a bit in a narrative sense, to keep the show interesting, but this is like the 3rd or fourth show now, telling the story this way, and I'm getting to the point now where I feel like I should just skip to halfway through the show to get the real story. I understand this story works well that way, as she went to prison for the first false narrative, but I'm about ready for a break now with the good person is actually the bad person switcheroo halfway in.
