I thought the acting, direction, effects and story we're all really captivating. I really like these types of shows that focus a lot of energy on the character development and dialogue. Realistically probably an 8 so far but thought it needed a bump up.
I really like this series. I thought there were scenes in the first few episodes that were riveting and true, particularly scenes depicting people stuck or seemingly lost in the Australian Bush on back roads at night with fires blazing all around.
However, I can't watch the AWFUL shaky camera it makes me car sick so don't know if I'll be able to watch all episodes sadly! :(

As a former firefighter I was very curious in the portrayal of the 2019-20 'black summer' in this ABC mini series. I will state my bias at the beginning in that I love to support Australian film and I am not a fancy critic. I can however offer some insight on the firefighting side.
Cons -Melodramatic. Very melodramatic, but then it's not a documentary, it's a mini series and that's why we're watching it-a form of dark entertainment, to learn, see things from a different perspective.
-Range of acting abilities and some great cast members but also some developing ones.
-A couple of the episodes drag on with the thriller aspect.
-Some one dimensional character portrayal in a handful of characters.
Pros -This mini series gives a good idea of so many perspectives of the people. From the firefighters, to those who decided to stay back and fight, to the recovering addict waiting on his methadone to those who were down the coast for a holiday thinking the fires would burn themselves out.
-It gives good insight to the many competing priorities during emergencies, on the ground and in the emergency command offices. The stress (while at times overblown and magnified by the dramatic aspect) goes part of the way into conveying some of the fear felt by everyone involved.
-While it is melodramatic, some people in the review section have stated how ridiculous it is that some of the firefighters stopped and had a swim at the end of the day. I can state from experience that whether or not it's ridiculous, it happened at the start (some water points are too good to ignore and the end of the day does come). No one could predict the seriousness of the situation as the summer progressed.
-Young love does sometimes blossom like that shown in Mott and Tash (I'm living proof).
-Once you've witnessed a pyrocumulus in action, you know how totally out of control and minuscule we are to stop it. This mini series gives some insight to the bushfires of that horrendous year. Whether or not people accept the science, scenarios like this are becoming more frequent and more extreme.
I would love to see more film come out capturing the Australian spirit like that found in this show.

I used to be mostly embarrassed and bored by our Australian serials but this is top notch drama. It is very perceptive and sensitive regarding the terrible experience of many Australians due to the recent and immense bushfires and it keeps the viewer enthralled throughout the series. I am so proud of so many new series that are made here as they are not only original but so well acted and directed. When I look at more USA's dramas they are just so repetitive and quite frankly dull although there are some brilliant ones but they are few and far between. Give recent Australian dramas a go, you will be surprised.
I started the watch because it seemed like an interesting concept. Will admit that it took a couple of passes to get through the first episode. Familiar with several shows like this I stuck through it.
All of you "experts" can pontificate about how this indicates some inherent flaw that is worth avoiding the offering completely. I'll just tell you that me working through this early challenge leaves me eager for the the next episode. PEOPLE are complicated especially through extraordinary challenge and I'm now completely onboard for this ride.
