Exclusive: Leeanna Walsman on why Human Error holds an important message for women

EXCLUSIVE: Aussie audiences were hooked as they watched Leeanna Walsman play Detective Holly O’Rourke in the premiere episode of Human Error on Wednesday.
And while the series may seem like a classic cop show as it follows O’Rourke and her team through a homicide investigation, Walsman says there’s so much more to the series than first meets the eye.

As well as being a senior detective O’Rourke is also a mother, wife and daughter and so Human Error is about much more than just the investigation at hand. It takes a deeper look into O’Rourke’s personal life.
“[Holly] works in a male dominated world, she’s multi-faceted. I see her as representing all the different sides of a woman,” Walsman says of her character.
EXCLUSIVE: The cast of Human Error lift the lid on the ‘twists and turns’ coming in the epic drama
“They’re not just this one thing. They’re not just a mother or a wife or this concept that if you’re a career woman that’s the only thing you can be.
“I feel like she’s a representation of how much women can be as a whole and that’s what I really like about her.”
In the upcoming episode of Human Error, audiences can expect to watch O’Rourke’s personal life unravel. Her marriage is in crisis, and she is hiding a life-changing secret from her from fellow detectives.
From the creators of Underbelly, the six-part series airs Wednesday at 8:45pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.
