AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Tangle is 'about two generations of two families - sometimes connecting, sometimes colliding, sometimes at cross-purposes - as they navigate their way around the maze of love, sex, money and politics.' (Showcase website.)

'Season 3 of this revelatory drama will pull apart and look at just how the generations separate from one another and how the ties of family are stretched.' Source: http://showtime.com.au/ (Sighted 23/03/2012).

'Tim Williams has a happy marriage, a good relationship with his teenage son Max and the respect of his peers. Everything about his working and personal future is looking quite bright. The problem though: 15 years ago, Tim had a brief affair with the drug-loving Nat Manning. The affair ended in Nat finding out she was pregnant. After admitting this to his wife Christine, they patched up their marriage and fought hard for custody of the child. Nat moved to London and has hardly been heard from since. But now, 10 years later, Nat is back in their lives. This time for good.'

'Eager to weave himself into the fabric of the family, Joe builds Ally a shed at the new house, but memories of Vince intrude. When Romeo enlists Max to help him make use of a stolen credit card and things go awry, Uncle Joe is the only person he can turn to. Ally invites Gabriel and his new girlfriend Sophie to dinner, but a seance carried out by Joe and the teenagers brings Ally more than she bargained for. Christine fights to master her growing desire for infidelity while Tim faces an uncertain future.'

'Life in my 20s was a whirlwind of McJobs, casual sex, insane crushes, share houses, and intense friendships. I was trying to start a career, trying to write the great Australian novel, always poor, making bad choices while drunk, and somehow had hours and hours in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, to just … hang out.'
