Gripping, Twisted and entertaining... All in one package. A young boy is murdered and the guy who finds the body is implicated. After that all hell breaks loose. There is not a single dull moment in the whole series. Nothing is pointless, its been edited perfectly. Every episode has few twists and turns. The characters are well crafted. You will love the young daughter and hate the elder one. The Tenant provides a bit of a comic relief baring his undies. The lead character is perfect. He portrays right mix of emotion, hysteria and empathy. Plot Holes... Well, considering how it wound up at the end, you could find a few things which had loose ends. But nonethless, this is the 3rd Fine Australian show I have seen after Glitch and the Keterring incident. Solid emotional and suspense drama. Go wtahc it.. Its way better than some of the glittering hollywood suff
It was ok, I was going to give it a 6, but the ending made it to a 7. The acting is passable, the storyline enough to keep you watching. It's not going to grip
you to your seat, but if you have a few hours spare, give it a go. I've seen worse.
Set in a suburban Australian neighborhood, this one-off series follows the story of family man Ben Gundelach, a painter (as in 'paint the basement') whose life spirals into a s**t-storm of suspicion, lies and vigilantism after finding the body of a young, neighborhood boy in the woods on his morning jog.
At its core a real whodunit-type story, the plot development serves us a platter of red-herrings in Ben's quest to prove his innocence by discovering the truth, all the while having to deal with characters such as the Suspicious Detective, the Annoying Wife, the Bitchy Teen Daughter, the Womanizing Best-Mate, the vulnerable Victim's Mother across-the-street, and a host of possible-suspect neighbors. The story does a good job of keeping viewers intrigued, with frequent plot twists, layered characters and will- he-snap, won't-he-snap moments.The cast of C-list actors all fulfill their roles (some better than others), and as the story progresses we catch glimpses of who they all really are. A few small inconsistencies can be noticed by the keen-eyed viewer, but can be overlooked as most most details fall into place with the concluding episode.
So, if you like whodunits, don't mind Aussie accents, can overlook some fairly stock-characters, and have some free time on your hands, by all means give this series a watch. It's shortcomings are made up for by an interesting story that keeps you guessing, enough tense moments to punctuate the talky-scenes, and a final twist that, while some may find unsatisfactory, certainly comes as a surprise. As a whodunit, it ticks almost all the boxes.Lets hope its American counterpart, soon to be released, will keep some of the same atmosphere!

I, myself found this show to be quite interesting! The plot is good. Few complaints would be, felt like they gave away who the murderer was too soon. They may have done that and canceled the show, but I would have rathered it stay on longer and find out who the real killer is later on, but you will find out on the last episode. It really is an emotional show. I cried a few times for the main actor, he really made you feel his pain. Martin Henderson is great for this role. He really puts you in his shoes. Not sure why the show is not continuing and why US has picked it up, just hope the new Secrets and Lies will be as good as the Australian version! It is definitely worth something to watch, just don't hope for second season cause there won't be any! Should be though!!
I'm quite partial to Aussie drama. I like the accent, they're usually a little quirky, less predictable than the standard American or British stuff. The scenery always look great and there's usually a tanned hunk featuring in the storyline. This certainly doesnt disappoint on that score, the lead actor is very easy on the eyes! I think his entire wardrobe consisted of shorts and a bath towel but who's complaining.
The acting was mainly good, particularly the lead actor and the detective. The script was decent enough and moved along at a reasonable pace. It was just about the right length, there wasnt much 'filler'. It kept my interest all the way through. I didn't guess the ending correctly so it was a surprise. All in all its worth a watch.
