God this is so awful. Dreadful plot lines which are really unbelievable and the characters are weak. The drunk son, meaningful and pained looks from the daughter in law, cranky old man running the place who just walks around being angry, whipping his son or belittling everyone else for not trying to ‘save’ the station, children who’ve no idea, bullying crook, dodgy brother, stereotypical corporate bully. The station is apparently in so much debt but people are driving around on unlimited fuel, not really doing any work, washing cars with hoses in the outback, flying helicopters for god knows what reason. Lots of talk about trying to save the station but nothing’s happening! Everyone seems to be walking around in circles. I can’t finish watching it as it’s rubbish. Such a shame as I love Robert Taylor. Gorgeous scenery which is the one star.

Absolutely ridiculous! What a waste of time. Rubbish script, stupid ending. The main character was totally unbelievable. How anyone didn’t pick she was off her meds is beyond me. The rubbish religious respect to it, controlling father with contradicting life values. The weak daughter, the creepy son. I could go on! Don’t bother.

Really? All crimes solved on the same day. How do I know? They’re wearing the same clothes in each shot…or is there a continuity issue with production? How can they get about London the way they do within a 12 hour time frame and then solve the crime? And how does all the lab work, CCTV and digital forensics results come through in what seems like 20 minutes into the investigation? One more thing, a DI who runs his own race and sneaking around being melodramatic, deer in headlights naive officer, meaningful looks taking place between the other 2 all the time. Their investigative skills are questionable and honestly laughable. Surely they couldn’t be legal within the police force? Can’t believe there are 4 seasons and another one to come! No idea why we stuck with it. I liked the shots of London that’s why 2 stars!

I cannot add anything more to Sean Cowan’s spot on review here. I had no idea what was going on. Loose plot, disconnected, a real what the heck movie I’m afraid. And a shame as some great Aussie actors in it and some glorious scenery and Sydney vistas from glamorous settings. Was that Kerry Packer’s joint in it? There was some comic relief by Matt Nable, you can rely on him for dry Aussie delivery and humour. It’s a no from me.

Very disappointed. I found the accents so thick and overdone I couldn’t understand what they were saying. The storyline had so many bits to it that I don’t think much gelled. It was disjointed. Lots of drinking, drug taking, I couldn’t work out if the main character was actually with it as there didn’t seem to be much detecting happening, lots of self destructive business. Weak boss who grimaced throughout the whole show. What was that MP character all about? And in what police world does the villain call the shots in an interview. It was ridiculous. Everyone seemed to either walk on egg shells around him or look like deer in the headlights. There were random people popping in and out such as the ex-boyfriend of the female detective, what the?!, no context there at all. The brother and his extra income job? What the? I really had no idea what the flashbacks were about and the relevance to the storyline of catching the killer. It was all over the place and with all the wringing of hands throughout it all there was no ‘ending’ as such. It was a great disappointment. No second series for me.
