Binge-watching #MotherAndSon w. @mattokine & @_denisescott. No spoilers but keep your eyes open for the guest star playing Dr Edgar George Wilkins in S1Ep6. btw Catherine Văn-Davies is outstanding as Maya. 😊 📺
Could kick myself for binge watching #MotherAndSon on #ABC iView. Now what am I going to watch at 8.30pm tonight? As for those yet to check it out, do yourselves a favour! It stars #Thornbury’s own @_denisescott and @mattokine, who probably wishes he lived in Thornbury.
@LaTrioli Wishing you the very best as you write your next chapter. You are so excellent in all that you do. It was a perfect farewell speech and dance track. A wonderful final show! Go well ♥️
@_denisescott I am LOVING your Maggie. Loved Ruth’s but you’re bringing such a great alternative. Clever writing and really enjoying the similarities vs differences. Thank you for taking on this project. More series’ pleas Auntie!!!
@mattokine@wendy_harmer@_denisescott Caught the first episodes on iview too Wendy. The tone is perfect
It's very difficult to balance and get that delicate sweet spot between satire/humour and pathos/sadness.
It has just enough of the bitter sweet
(ps: I've never seen the original, so I'm not comparing)
I love that @mattokine wasn't afraid to pursue this ripper remake. Us white mother's and our black babies thank you. 🍷

ICYMI: Superb #MotherAndSon with @_denisescott & @mattokine. No spoilers but keep your eyes open for the guest star playing Kenneth. 😊 https://t.co/xlnrD4mWnU
Caught up with 'Mother and Son' - with the superb @_denisescott She is magnificent, her comic timing on point (as always). Plaudits for all the cast and crew and @mattokine who updates the scenario perfectly. Well done, all.
@JaneyGodley Hi Janey Your words are spot on. But You continue to give so much to people - laughter and inspiration! Cancer , although I’m sure it’s tried, hasn’t been able to take away that! ♥️
Australian music legend John Farnham has thrown his support behind the Yes campaign, allowing his iconic anthem "You're the Voice" to be used in a television ad to encourage Australians to vote in support of the Voice. #VoiceToParliament#VoteYes
Dear @_denisescott@mattokine
Huge congrats to both of you for #MotherAndSon. I love the ensemble cast and the delightful warm-hearted tone of the show. But I esp. enjoy all the little moments (the small pauses, the glances, witty asides) from each of you. It's so good. 😊
@PeterWMurphy1@_denisescott@mattokine@virginia_gay This 'remake' is so far removed from a 'remake' it allows both versions to stand on their own merits. There's so much more in the new version I love without feeling I'm cheating on the original. 🥴
@UsefulStill@mattokine@PeterWMurphy1@_denisescott@virginia_gay Exactly and well put! I was reluctant to watch the new version because I loved the original so much, but after 2 episodes, I am absolutely loving the new version. It is truly a modern day homage to something old(er) that was fantastic and loved.
