Wolf Creek

I was leery of watching this series but found it to be far better than both films. There is quite an arc from Episode 1 to Episode 6 and gives the young protagonist ample opportunity to shine as a kind-hearted, smart, yet tough deliverer of justice. There is something so satisfying, watching a character grow the way Eve does. Along the way in the narrative, she has to toughen up even more and grow up quickly to achieve her objective. And there's hardship and a lot of pain along the way.

I appreciated that this is not merely a slice and dice horror series (the films are fine and offer an effective urban legend, but the overwhelming gore and terror wore me out), but something with nuance and back story. The episodes give you time to really care about the people involved in Eve's journey. And how refreshing there is a love story that transcends physical lust; more like two souls that found each other but ultimately couldn't be together.

As to the acting, mostly quite good. Lucy Fry, who has the gravitas and strength of a young Robin Wright, excels as Eve, out to avenge her loss. She is ably supported by a number of characters, particularly Dustin Clare as Sullivan, the police officer compelled to help her at any cost, a kindly female truck driver, and an escaped prisoner who becomes an ally. John Jarratt does his usual believable, sinister performance as the game-playing butcher, Mick, the guy you never want to run into in a dark alley, the Outback or anywhere else.

Great job.

Just finished S2! Really loved both seasons. A great find! Hoping they do a 3rd series!

Why people would write a negative review about this mini series is a mystery to me. I truly enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. Especially the performance from John Jarratt playing the villain Mick Taylor. To me he's the absolute star of Wolf Creek. With his sadistic laughter and his crazy personality he's the guy you hope you'll never cross on a desert highway in the outback. The rest of the cast was also good with their respective performances. All the characters are fun to watch, so I really don't get why people aren't satisfied with the story. Because the story is everything you ask for when you watch a horror series like this one. The only critic I would have is that it is very unlikely to find people that don't want to be found in the outback. And most of the characters cross paths all the time. But then again if they wouldn't you would not have a decent story. The filming is excellent, especially with the great nature shots. I hope there will be another season.

I'm a fan of Wolf Creek films, I just watched the show released in 2016 with only 2 seasons and 12 episodes and also with the same killer. The first season is surprising, amazing and beautifully shot. I have to admit it's better than the first film. It has a new great characters added, cinematography and style. John Jarratt as Mick wasn't a big part of the first season, but damn, he is just crazy like no one else. He looks like a real killer and he was still brilliant. I believe he's considered one of the most realistic villains in horror films ever written. Lucy Fry played as the main character/blonde girl, she begins a journey to hunt down Mick to bring him to justice after killing her family. I thought she did a bloody good job, she was excellent in it.

Now about the 2nd season, it's quite different from the first season like it's an anthology series. This season has interesting ideas, good ending, more Mick and violence. I find it quite good, but compared to Season 1, it's trash. Most of the characters were just plain dumb, Mick was only one fun character to watch and that's it. But this show have some fans who think the second season is better than the first season.

I'm surprised nobody has heard about this show, it's very enjoyable and underrated show. I've also heard there is going to be Wolf Creek 3, but I don't know it will happen for real or just planned. If you haven't seen the films, then watch the films first. I really enjoyed the entire show.

... & so the movies continue into this great TV series. It's nice to see John Jarratt back as Mick. The series makes for number of episodes that follow on from each other. When you watch these episodes you forget you're watching a TV series, you still think you're watching another "Wolf Creek" movie. The cast are brilliant. I especially like the character Sullivan Hill (played by Dustin Clare). All in all a great series and I hope this continues its great success.
