"Personally, I'm such a cynic." — Ashley Zukerman

TV has become long-form now. A season can be like a 13-hour film, separated into episodes, so you can analyse a character for five years and talk about the things that films used to talk about but don't any more.

In recent years it's become really apparent, the division between what government is and what communities want.

There is something in the micro-gestures in Australia that I just understand. It's something I grew up with - how people interact, the slight differences in language and gestures, that I just understand and it puts me at ease.

With the quarantine and borders suddenly closing it could have meant suddenly being stranded on the other side of the planet. It's a shame I haven't been able to see my family in Australia but it never became an option. But certainly, when it's all over I will be heading back.
