Milat: traque d'un serial killer

Mal Kennard, the research he must have done for the role in becoming Ivan Milat was thorough. He did a wonderful job of making us believe that he was evil. Incredible growth of this actor. Can't wait to see what he's up to next. I watch this with an open mind knowing a lot about the story from media reports. The intricacies of the storyline drew me in and the betrayal by the actors was first class. Really want to see more work like this on Australian TV. I have watched this now several times and each time I find something new in it. If you haven't checked this out I would definitely recommend doing so.

This one is absolutely perfect. Director was awesome and he told the entire story in two episodes, something that other people seem to have trouble with, and all actors were dead on in their role. It is a pleasure to watch a series that has a beginning, middle and end in two episodes. I wish more writers and directors could do the same. I'm a little tired of watching a 24 hours series that could have been perfectly done in two to four hours. The film industry could use some lessons from the movie makers down under. Thanks, Prime , for a great viewing experience.

Feels like there is a lot more story to tell. Or it should have been 2 hours max.

A fascinating and horrific tale that's underwritten and vague. While some actual quotes make their way in to the script, too much of what happened is glossed over. For a 3 hour+ miniseries, so much more could've been included. Most of the cast aquits itself quite well. Kennard is very good as the title character and Field is near-flawless as always. However, top-billed (?!) Cawthorne is difficult to watch; his expression never changes, even when he's shouting or upset and should show some sort of emotion. Watch Crime Investigation Australia (2005) and/or Wolf Creek (2005) instead.

Just watched all episodes back to back and to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

I expected a bit of horror and some gruesome violence but you see absolutely nothing and there is virtually no fear and terror or suspense conveyed. The Milat backstory was also pretty vague and it was like watching any episode of any old serial killer CSI episode with some truly dreary acting and poor characterization - bit of a rotten tomato or lame potato this one.
