I have to say - and it might be a guilty admission considering some of the other reviews - BUT I enjoyed this. It was entertainment. Lots of great Sydney scenery with sun and surf. It might not be the crime drama standard of Broadchurch but it keep me watching till the end. We know from the start who the killer is but I kept watching to see when they twigged that the killer was one of their own. I see from other reviews that some people don't like the romance aspect and I must admit it all picked up when it was just the chase for the serial killer. At one stage two of the main characters were discussing an engagement party while waiting for a loved one to identify a body. Like, really? I am sure real detectives can switch of their tumultuous love lives at such a moment. I thought the acting was great and the Hobbit guy played a creepy guy very well. Though he did seem to have a LOT of free time on his hands. I have a job where I have to be accountable for my time and can't leave for unexplained hours on end. But that is with the writers, not the actors. Another critique would be the murder sub plots separate from the serial killer plot were a bit simplistic. One more thing, I don't know where they filmed the inside of the police station but with the curved brick archways it looked like they must have grabbed some Sydney Greek restaurant on a quiet day!
