Has anyone been watching this? It's a really excellent Aussie drama starring Sam Neill - final episode next week.

It's about a death on a rural Australian farm - not wanting to give any spoilers but there's a court case and the drama involves the back stories of the jurors. I'd give it 10 out of 10.

Thanks for the recommendation, I was in two minds, but will definitely give it a try at weekend.

Yes I've started watching it, only 1 and half episodes in so far, so quite a way to go yet. I enjoyed the last series, I'll always give Australian or for that matter NZ dramas a go.

This has been a terrific series in my view - last episode on ITVx this coming Thursday 29th. It's been a gripping drama and I can't wait for the final episode to see how it pans out.

I watched the first series and only just realised the second one is out. The first series was great so looking forward to watching the second one

Very good, with a killer twist, didn't see that coming! Somewhat shorter than the last series that went on for quite a while longer.

This is an excellent series. I usually enjoy Australian dramas. Sam Neill is one of my favourite actors, and The Dish is one of my favourite films.

Oh, I missed this second series. That's my viewing sorted for the rest of the week. Thank you, GNetters.

Record in advance, so many adverts!

We love it as well. Best thing we've watched in ages .

I still can't predict who is guilty and how it will end in the last episode tomorrow.

‘backstory’ ? History I would say.

I finished it tonight. Excellent viewing and a really gritty ending.

Am enjoying this. ❤️Sam Neill.

The final episode (No. 8) released today and just watched it.
Absolutely brilliant!!

We are hooked! We've just finished episode 4, so not yet enough information to make a rational choice as to guilty or not guilty. All the characters are drawn so well and so brilliantly acted, this is one of the best things we've seen in a long time.

There's another series? I didn't know that, thanks for sharing. Just finished the first one, and found it excellent. Have any of you seen the Belgian series on Channel 4's Walter Presents, which pretty much mirrors the Aussie one (may have even inspired it, I'm not sure)? I saw it before the Aussie one and thought it was the best foreign language drama series I had ever seen.

The final episode did not disappoint! Twisty, jaw-dropping - absolutely brilliant.

Yes! I mentioned it on another thread. 10 out of 10 indeed. It's the best thing I've seen on TV since Happy Valley.
