Marta Dusseldorp is a damn fine actor; you can count on her to bring near-instant depth and gravitas. She’s the best thing about Bay of Fires, ABC TV’s uninvigorating and weirdly toned on-the-run drama that, even after four episodes, left me wondering what it was trying to be – and why I should keep watching.
The story follows Dusseldorp as corporate CEO Stella Heikkinen, who shoots off to Tasmania – not to visit Dark Mofo or Mona like the rest of us, but to escape Chechen hitmen.
