Troppo

Love Thomas Jane and he was great in this, very hot in his hat. Female lead was fascinating and kept it different. Story kept me guessing and held my interest.

I don't get all the bad reviews on this show! I really enjoyed it, haven't read the book so maybe that's why(?). Anyway, I thought the acting was good, especially the 2 leads, and the production and scenery were great, very 'creepy' at times as intended! Definitely give it a go, great Aussie thriller & whodunnit :-)

This series was great, i so enjoyed it and Thomas Jane was a revelation. To be honest i thought he was going to phone his lines in like Bruce Willis etc, yet he was brilliant and so was the young lady who played his side kick. Nicole Chamoun i believe is her name and she was quirky, different and had a certain Je ne sais quoi. I would love a second series although in this small town it would be difficult, but i suppose they could branch out. Any way watch this series you WILL NOT be disappointed. Like the World Cup i am now on a downer because it has ended, please give us more cheers.

I can see that Troppo is going to settle down into quite a good mystery/thriller. Good to see that it isn't held back by cultural cringe (although the Korean family portrayal is a bit 'paint by numbers').

It captures a claustrophobic element of Far North Queensland - the tropics seem to bring out those qualities. Only 3 eps in, and it remains to be seen if the script is going to deliver any real surprises or if it will be a procedural 'bad company over-reaches'.

Update: Although Troppo broadcast one of its deceits too early it managed to conceal others, and arguably saved its best for the last couple of episodes, by which time the ensemble were more settled into their roles. Well worth a 7 and a binge.

Very good performance from Nicole Chamoun, the short hair enhances her natural beauty. The scenario with the 3 murders solved is clever and the end is open enough for a season 2 which could see the rehabilitation of the detective, let's hope it happens.
