" It wasn't like, "I'm gonna do this." It was like, "Yeah, let's go there and check it out." I surprised myself, getting the pilot for The Tomorrow People, two weeks into my first pilot season.
That blew me away because it was just that next level of validation that this could legitimately be a career for me. There's such a big transition from being an Aussie actor playing Aussie roles, to being an Aussie actor playing an American character in an American show.

The bucolic tranquility of Greylock, New Hampshire, is upended when a massive vein of an incredibly valuable mineral is discovered under the town. The Republic of Sarah is really a sort of remake of the 1949 British comedy Passport to Pimlico from Ealing Studios.

The residents declare independence from England and begin negotiations about their sovereignty. The British government retaliates by cutting off power, food, and resources, cordon off the district with barb wire while black marketeers flood in to sell foods and goods. Similar things happen in The Republic of Sarah, though in a slightly less satirical manner, though the layer of surreal absurdity is still present.

It certainly isn't given enough space to feel like a premise that could sustain a show for multiple seasons. And it's mired in too much CW-style family drama and teen/YA sexual innuendo to make any headway. But it seems that making a New England town into its own country isn't enough for King or The CW; the people in town have their issues to deal with. Grover, for instance, likes the hell out of Sarah but has his own relationship baggage to deal with. There's a reason why Danny has come back to town that has nothing to do with work and everything to do with the now-married Corrinne and her son.
