I’m a big fan. That scene when she had a panic attack and went on air regardless, that scene alone, was a pure Oscar performance. I hope Anna will end up doing great movies in the US. Incredible talent!

Anna Torv is an amazing actress, I first met her on Fringe but Stephanie, Secret City, Mindhunter and now The Newsreader are proves that she is super talented and very unique.

[@torvblanchett]

Anna my love…she was so captivating…couldn’t take my eyes off her. She rocked the character 🥹❤️

[@Louisefenner]

Busy watching Fringe after my husband begged me for years. Didn't want to because I thought it wasn't my thing but so glad I have as I discovered Anna. Can't wait to move on to other work she has done as she is brilliant.

[@siancrucefix3560]

I ADORE this show. Anna's performance is a tour de force!

I was GLUED to the telly for all 6 shows. PLEASE make more! It is the best ABC drama in history! The acting of everyone was flawless. Anna, Sam and especially Marg Downey were mesmerizing. The cars and sets were period correct to minute detail. Brilliant script writing and directing. A credit to everyone. Can't wait for more!

[@jmipraimundo]

[@bernieslattery3960]

Wow Anna is clearly a super talent, watched, secret city, Mindhunter, some of Fringe and now Newsreader. Surely they will make more series' of Newsreader. Along with Marta Dusseldorp, Australia's finest, spell binding, so believable WOW again, a pleasure to be entertained!!

[@suzannes8654]

We need this in the states!

[@Shokugeki213]

Love her in Mindhunter!

[@DP-hy4vh]

Anna Torv hasn't aged a bit. They need to do a FRINGE movie or a limited series where Walter Bishop suddenly returns with help from September's/Donald's son and his appearance causes a whole new pattern of Fringe events.

[@richardowen5194]

With so much awful news in the world, we binged over 3 nights the 6 episodes and what a great antidote. Smashing acting a few interesting parallels with today and unusually a happy ending, well done Australia from us all in the home coutry.

[@mikekaraoke]

So happy this has been renewed for a 2nd season, I wonder how many episodes it will be and when in 1987 it will be set in??

[@jmipraimundo]

Hi...it will be 1 year after the end and it will be 87 and 88.
6 episodes ❤

[@nawaljan94]
