... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreI'm a big fan of this show. It's too bad it only lasted 2 short seasons. The writing & story lines are captivating. I can't even begin to understand the negative reviews on this one. Is everything totally believable that's depicted in the show? Of course not! Such a show doesn't exist and never has. However, it's got a lot of believable scenarios and the dynamic between the main protagonist brothers is quite compelling. The older brother, Ned, is practically an angel, which might strain credulity for some, but the backstory of a brother who has to take on extra burdens and responsibilities for a special- needs brother whom he cares for & on account of the parents being out of the picture, also gives the show a noble, compassionate & human touch often missing from the majority of crass TV shows today. The show typically tackles the conflict between the governmental bureaucratic machine that inadvertently tramples on the civil/human rights of individuals in its pursuit of profit and the inevitable corruption that ensues on the part of its most ardent zealots.Anyway, it's a smart and thoughtful show and without question one of the best ones out there. Watch the first 2 episodes and I guarantee you'll be hooked ;)
... View MoreThis is definitely one of the best TV series that Australia has put out in so long, it gets you sitting on the edge of your seat, There no other series like it that I have ever watched and best of all it suits just about anyone. I think there is something for everyone, but I wouldn't let young kids watch it. There is action, mystery, thriller comedy and drama all wrapped up in one big bundle of awesome watching....You never know what is going to happen next. I do however just wish that the seasons went longer., its not as if our country is poor or lacking in exceptionally good actors. All the acting and actors in this series are top class, The story line is believable, and unpredictable and it encompasses the way the world really is, touching on subjects that are perhaps politically "sensitive", making it really good entertainment. I give it a 10 with no hesitation.
... View MoreA very poor attempt at copying the recent excellent Scandinavian series such as The Killing and Borgen, even down to using the same type of music, a rapid recap at the start of each episode, and fast forward at the end. Made an initially good start but soon lost any credulity, with a bunch of cardboard cutout characters, especially the criminally inclined cops and politicians, and an unbelievable plot. The computer hacking abilities were totally beyond belief, actions were inexplicable and unexplained and the plot seemed to be being made up as it went along. Unable to watch beyond the fourth episode as it became more and more unbelievable.
