Kings In Grass Castles
If you're jonesin' for more epic Dillane, there's more of him here than you can shake a stick at, and it doesn't get much
hotter than a strappin' Irishman in the Outback.
Playing
immigrant patriarch Patsy Durack, we again get to see him age from
about 20 to 70, but unlike Jefferson, Patsy isn't allergic to manual
labor, and bought his way out of virtual slavery. Working his way up
from rags to riches, he ultimately becomes a cattle baron.
Patsy
still makes binding agreements by spitting in his hand and shaking it,
but that's about the only saliva exchange you'll see. His wife is
played by Susan Lynch, that vicious, pale woman from "Girl With a Pearl
Earring", so I was more disappointed that I didn't see a single
kangaroo or wombat, but it's still an engaging mini series.
