Nothing much on last night, so I watched the first two episodes of this.

Wasn’t expecting it to be much, but I soon got into it.

Starring Joanne Froggatt, not keen on her character, but liked the English policeman. (It was set in Sydney).

It’s on Saturday night, ITVX.

I've finished it and really got into it and enjoyed it.
It ends on a cliff hanger. Please let there be series 2 as I want to know what happens.

I liked it too. I was trying to place the British policeman, and eventually remembered that he was in Game of Thrones- the one who rescued the baby at the start.

Anyway, I liked his character and hope that if there is another series he is in it. As you say, Sparklefizz it was left so that it would be possible to have that happen.

Thanks for this - I’m looking for a new crime watch

Saw Ep 1 on Saturday - I was impressed

An excellent series. I wanted something to get into after watching The Serial Killer's Wife, another good series.
I particularly liked John Bradley who played Max, the detective sent by the UK to Australia to help with the investigation into a high profile case.
Good story and as with all decent thrillers, a twist at the end.

I really enjoyed it.. a touch of Borgen..

I really liked the English policeman, such an interesting character..

Aveline Wed 08-Jan-25 12:41:48

Oh good. I've got episode one recorded. I do like Australian set dramas

I binged this and enjoyed it.
Murder, politics, romance.....and a cliffhanger. Worth watching.

Oldbat1 Wed 08-Jan-25 15:56:11

Yes we also binged it. Enjoyed it too. The uk police officer was great.

I saw this programme listed & got excited but then realised that Joanne Froggart was taking a lead role. I actually cannot stand her as an actress. She has the charisma of stuffed squirrel. 😬

She is quite low key in this series.. it's worth watching for the dynamics between the UK policeman and the Australian police..

Never heard of this series. Must watch. I’m currently staying with DD on the Northern Beaches just round from North Shore so very apt!

Shirleyw Wed 08-Jan-25 20:54:52

Yes, I liked it too, would be good if their will be a series 2.

ayse Wed 08-Jan-25 22:04:26

I thoroughly enjoyed it. More story than violence

crazyH Wed 08-Jan-25 22:11:56

I watched Surgeons - a Matter of Life or Death - they really are miracle workers

LauraNorderr Wed 08-Jan-25 22:20:19

Another really good drama.

Clawdy Thu 09-Jan-25 08:47:44

Enjoyed this. A little bit different.

HiMay Thu 09-Jan-25 12:23:16

Hear hear! I’m enjoying it

Ditto! I enjoyed it immensely too.
BUT I do so hate these cliff hanger endings! Watched Dune Part one a few years ago and in order to watch the recent Dune Part 2 I had to watch the first film all over again as I had forgotten a lot of it…now I discover after yet another cliff hanger there is to be a Part 3!!!!

Totally agree!

Enjoyed this series too, hope they make more.

Susieq62 Thu 09-Jan-25 16:37:23

Liked it because it took me back to Sydney where I lived 1974-5
Came home, silly me.
Thought the acting , apart from the English detective, was mediocre but I shall persevere
