As a comedy-drama series, Aussie Girl follows the story of a young actress named Summer (Tammin Sursok) who moves from her hometown in Australia to chase her dreams of making it big in Hollywood. With high goals and low budget, Summer works at an ice cream parlor while attending endless auditions in hopes of getting her breakout role. However, things don't go as planned, and Summer finds herself in hilariously awkward situations while navigating her new life in Los Angeles.
At the beginning of the series, Summer is confident and optimistic, sure that her talent will eventually get her discovered. However, as she experiences countless rejections and time constraints, her determination is put to the test. She is forced to confront the reality of chasing fame, as she grapples with doubts about herself and her career. But with the help of her best friend, Liv (Emily Goss), and her mom, Bev (Terri Hoyos), Summer refuses to give up.
Alongside Sursok, the show also features Tom Arnold in the role of Herb, an eccentric talent agent who takes Summer under his wing. While he may not have the best reputation in the industry, Herb has the connections and the know-how to at least transfer Summer's celebrity status from "stranger" to "struggling actress." As their relationship grows, Herb becomes a mentor to Summer, with each episode showing him trying to push Summer to become the next "It" girl.
Among the show's strengths is its humorous take on the entertainment industry, with a range of satirical and self-aware jokes that poke fun at the sight of L.A.'s streets paved with hopeful actors. The series also critiques the way women are treated in Hollywood, weaving in the occasional satirical twist to the larger issues of gender inequality.
Overall, Aussie Girl from Astronauts Wanted and Charlie Baby Productions is a must-see for anyone who's ever chased a dream, struggled with self-doubt, or found humor in life's various misadventures. From the lighthearted moments to the genuine emotion and raw authenticity of the characters, the show has the perfect balance of comedy and drama to keep viewers entertained and invested in Summer's journey.
