So much average

A Masterpiece!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rachel Griffiths and Yoson An turned in good performances, but the plot is thin to say the least, the other characters one dimensional, terrible wooden acting, (the accents were cringeworthy). We watched all 4 episodes, so something got us hooked - cinematography was good - but director and scriptwriters should be ashamed to have wasted such great talent.

I'm an avid watcher of crime series from anywhere in the world and always give an Australian show a good chance, but this show is terrible. It reminded me of Crawford's Homicide from the 50s - corny script, wooden acting esp Rachel Griffiths who looks ill at ease in such a mediocre show considering her acting credentials. Justine Clarke easily steals the show in her portrayal of a modern-day bimbo , so against her usual goody-two shoes parts.

It's weird that all the other reviews so fare are either 10s or 0-3 and the comments either damning or lauding, it just seems to be a normal detective thriller to me. Maybe it's the cross-cultural Chinese foreign student element that creates the huge reaction but since SBS specializes in multicultural progamming you'd think viewers would expect that. A normal well plotted twist-and-turn detective thriller for mine.

Fantastic first episode - great to see some new, quality Australian drama back on TV!
