Ripples is a thought-provoking drama series produced by Total Content Digital that explores the complex human emotions and relationships that arise from the simple act of throwing a stone into a pond. The series comprises of six episodes, each featuring a different set of characters whose lives intersect with each other in some way.

The show begins with a young couple, Emma and Ben, who are on a camping trip. As they skip stones across the water, they inadvertently spark a chain reaction that impacts the people around them. Each subsequent episode explores the lives of those affected by the ripples, giving the audience a glimpse into the various ways in which their actions can affect others.

The first episode focuses on a single mother, Jane, who is struggling to provide for her two children. When her son, Jack, finds a lost wallet containing a significant sum of money, Jane is faced with a difficult moral dilemma. She knows that the rightful owner of the wallet is likely in dire need of the money, but her son insists that they keep it. The episode explores the tension and conflict that arises from Jane's decision, as well as the ripple effect it has on the people around her.

Another episode follows the story of a retired school teacher, Mr. Green, who is estranged from his daughter, Rachel. When he receives news that Rachel has been involved in a car accident, he is forced to confront his feelings of guilt and regret over their broken relationship. As he struggles to come to terms with his past mistakes, Mr. Green meets a young girl who reminds him of his own daughter and provides him with a chance for redemption.

The series also delves into the lives of characters who are grappling with personal demons. In one episode, we meet a successful businessman, Michael, who is haunted by the memory of a traumatic event from his childhood. His life is turned upside down when he meets a woman, Sarah, who challenges him to confront his past and make amends.

The performances in Ripples are top-notch, with each character portrayed by a talented and nuanced actor. The show uses a non-linear narrative structure, jumping back and forth in time to offer multiple perspectives on the same events. This approach can be disorienting at times, but it ultimately rewards the audience with a more complex and layered understanding of the characters and their motivations.

The show is also visually stunning, with beautiful cinematography that captures the natural beauty of the pond where the ripples originated. The use of water as a central motif is particularly effective, as it serves as a potent symbol of change and transformation.

Overall, Ripples is a captivating and poignant drama that explores the interconnected nature of human existence. The show deftly captures the complexity and nuance of human emotions, and offers a powerful reminder of the impact our actions can have on those around us. Brendon Doyle has crafted a series that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.

Ripples is a series that ran for 2 seasons (50 episodes) between July 8, 2007 and on Total Content Digital
