Series 2 of this pretty good Australian crime series is available on IPlayer. Watched the first two episodes last night, started well, reasonably gripping.

Loved it ( and Travis Fimmel) 🥰
I’ve watched the whole series.

Yes Travis Fimmel there's a namesmile Great scenery and, if like me, you're a fan of cold cases, disappearance of a girl with a complex back story, some 20 years ago, this might appeal.

I'm really enjoying it.. it's very absorbing and culturally informative..

I like the detective especially..

Dee1012 Tue 08-Apr-25 14:01:51

I've really enjoyed both series but to be honest, I'd watch Travis Fimmel opening a packet of crisps! blush.

There's a series on Netflix also featuring Travis, 'Boy Swallows Universe', much lighter than the novel but very good.

I'm rewatching Series one, which I will follow with series two. I saw that S2 will pick up from S1, and wanted to remind myself of what happened in the first one.

It's very good.

I have watched both series both excellent. The way series 2 ends opens up for series 3 I hope . If you like Australia dramas Jack Irish on ITVX, High country think that's on 4 or iPlayer. Darby and Joan on U drama , another Australian one on iPlayer with a priest in it can't remember the title. Mystery road and Mystery road the beginning .
Midwinter of the spirit on ITVX is British . Jack Taylor ,Holding Irish on ITVX. Northshore ,chasing shadows, Pembrokeshire murders all very good.

I've just watched the 1st episode of Series 1. I'm hooked.

We've just finished series 2 on I player and really enjoyed both.

I'm enjoying it but can't agree with you petra about Travis Kimmel. To me he sometimes looks a bit creepy and I long to wash his hair and give it a good brush.

Maremia Thu 10-Apr-25 17:23:48

Will look out for that, thanks. Enjoyed the first series.

Allira Thu 10-Apr-25 17:38:05

We'll look out for it thanks.

Is it set in the Glass House Mountains area? We visited there a few years ago, the scenery is wonderful.

TerriBull Thu 10-Apr-25 18:03:14

I'm not sure where it's set, it's supposed to be near Brisbane in the story. The rural settings have pretty amazing landscapes, in particular one where there's a single mountain in the distance that looks like Sugar Loaf,
but it's not because that one is in Brazil, but certainly the scenery looked quite unique I thought now I've seen all 6 episodes. I'll have to Google The Glass House Mountains, I have to confess I've never heard of those.

I loved him in Vikings. There is something odd about his eyes, though. I googled, and apparently they turn different shades of blue, but that's not what I meant. It's hard to describe, but he sort of stares in a strange way now and then, for no apparent reason. He did it as Ragnar, and in this role, so it must be TF himself, rather than playing a character.

The Glass House Mountains are North of Brisbane, inland from the Sunshine Coast.

They are amazing!

Great ,thanks… will look on iplayer x

granfromafar Fri 11-Apr-25 22:46:28

Thanks for the recommendation. Have watched the whole of series 1 today and am also hooked on it. Great acting, and looking forward to watching series 2.

They are quite flat I think Doodledog.. I had a friend with very similar eyes he was of a Nordic heritage.. I really like them..

I’m watching it but finding it hard to follow and figure out who is who.

granfromafar Mon 21-Apr-25 20:58:33

I've now watched the whole of series 2 and it's worth sticking with. Apart from episode 6 being shot in the dark, most of the time, making it tricky to see what us happening, it's really good. The ending definitely leaves it open for a 3rd series!

He has the same look in his eyes as Leonardo Dicaprio, swoon swoon 🥰
His mother is from Scandinavia and German decent.

That's interesting. I didn't know that about Nordic eyes grin.

I've watched both and enjoyed them. Australian scenery is awesome.

Allira Mon 21-Apr-25 22:53:36

I don't understand flat eyes confused

Doodledog Tue 22-Apr-25 07:59:47

Nor do I, but there is something odd about TF’s eyes.
