For those who enjoy an Australian Crime Drama, I've watched the first episode of this new one, it appears quite promising.

Watched it for 10 minutes or so. May give it another go when there is nothing else on.

I've watched 3 episodes. Lots of potential and beautiful scenery.

I’m watching it now and really enjoying it. Loving the horse🐴

I was expecting better. Note to self: don’t read the critics choice. I think they have a lower bench mark than me.
The same with The Jetty.

I think it is really good!

Oldbat1 Sat 20-Jul-24 22:36:05

We have watched most of it and will continue following it.

I love anything Australian so I'll give it a go, but as it says 'murder, deceit and revenge' I'm not holding out much hope. I've had my fill of murder as it seems to be in everything.

We used to go up to Jamieson where it was filmed because we used to have a house up there. It is wonderful country, just gorgeous. I don’t think we have got that series here as far as I know - haven’t seen it. It is at the edge of the snow country where we can ski.

Thanks for that snippet of information nanna8, I'll Google Jamieson, the surrounding scenery was certainly stunning.

I've got two more episodes to go and it's beginning to feel a bit of a chore, watchable but nothing special. Will see it through to the end but it would have been better with fewer episodes

I'm enjoying this. The location is lovely and so interesting. I have been to that area and liked it very much. Happy memories. I've watched two episodes so far and plan to watch the rest over the next week.

I’ve watched 3 episodes. I was gripped after the first 15 minutes. I know nothing about the area, isn’t it spectacularly beautiful and wild. It’s got a good cast, the dialogue is excellent and the story line keeps me watching
I love the use of horses and some insight into indigenous people’s beliefs. Fascinating.

merlotgran Sun 21-Jul-24 19:02:46

I want the horse and the ‘studio’

Sorted! 😂

Iam64 Sun 21-Jul-24 19:10:51

Merlotgran - after watching ‘thst scene’ in the jetty, the horse and relationships in this are so good

Aveline Sun 21-Jul-24 19:38:03

I agree I am64. I won't be watching the rest of the Jetty.

We are enjoying it and particularly like the casting of an actress with an indigenous background. The scenery is simply glorious.

Aveline Wed 24-Jul-24 18:55:28

I'm so sad I've finished it sad. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So beautiful to see and the crime(s) surprised me. Some loose ends though. Hope there's another series.

Labradora Wed 24-Jul-24 18:58:07

Hugely enjoyable.
Good storytelling.
Love the horse, the scenery and the whiff of the paranormal with the psychic.

I am planning to watch High Country. I gave up on the Jetty wondering what sick mind thought the incident with the horse was good viewing.

Iam64 Wed 24-Jul-24 19:48:45

So pleased to see others enjoyed the scenery, the reference to indigenous beliefs, a sergeant with dual heritage and yes the horses. I hope there’s another series

Lovetopaint037 Thu 25-Jul-24 01:49:34

Finished it last night on IPlayer. Really enjoyed it. There are some loose ends but as dh said it says series 1. Perhaps there will be another.

Cfaz49 Thu 25-Jul-24 07:19:53

Binge watched on iPlayer. Hang on in there it gets interesting! No spoilers….

Sparklefizz Thu 25-Jul-24 08:10:58

I am on episode 4 of this and enjoying it.

I'd recorded The Jetty but have deleted it since reading some online comments about it.

We're enjoying High Country but I'm getting a bit confused about who's missing.
