When you have Cate Blanchett’s name attached to a show, in both acting and producing capacity, then you know you’re going to get an ambitious series with great performances. Based on real events, Stateless is about four people’s experiences at an Australian immigrant detention center. We flash back and see situations develop. The woman we see, who looks like she’s been on the run for some time, is Sofie Werner (Yvonne Strahovski), a flight attendant in Australia. She’s home for Christmas, visiting her sister Margot (Marta Dusseldorp). Their mother Elka not only wants to set Sofie up with a boring software engineer, but she also grills her about her job flying all over the place, and when she’s going to finally settle down like her sister has. Meanwhile, junkyard worker Cam Sandford (Jai Courtney) celebrates Christmas with his wife Angie (Maria Angelico) and couple friends of theirs. One of the friends, Sully (Clarence Ryan), works for a company that provides officers for the country’s immigration detention center, in the middle of the dessert. After seeing the great gifts he gives Cam’s wife and kids, he starts to wonder if it’s time to get out of his dead-end job. The episodes has pieces of story that grab the viewer’s attention and a fine cast that puts in compelling performances from the first scene.
