Troppo

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.

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.

Troppo started slowly and the American character needs a while to warm up to him.

However, I stuck around and the storyline became addictive.

Casting is good.

The villains look the part !

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 :-)
