Bay of Fires

Bay of Fires is proving to be everything l wanted and more - Tasmania looks amazing, the suspense has me on the edge of my seat, the characterisation is quirky and I want to know them more, and it's a total escape from my reality.

I love seeing Tasmania on screen and I've never seen Queenstown look so good!

Tasmania has featured a fair bit recently in Australian productions and Bay of Fires brings a fresh approach - all small town, but so much more. It's a bit tongue in cheek which makes for a nice juxtaposition with the underlying mystery.

While we're only at the beginning, I'm excited to watch the rest of the show and see the mystery unfold.

Watched Deadloch - loved it. I'm an Aussie living overseas so I watch most Aussie shows with promise.

This one definitely has promise but I think they sell themselves short by not including comedy in the description because it is damn funny. Looking forward to more.

We have a fairly high standard of what we watch very few US shows because they are either bad or very plastic and mass produced, complete with canned laughter. At least Australian shows (not the mainstream, soapy, ones) manage to avoid that and have a more UK sensibility about them (one of the few things to be thankful for with our association with the UK). Living in Canada with a Canadian and they were stuck with US shows in the most part.

Love to see Australia producing its own drama/comedy/mystery/whatever shows and feeling confidant for a change.

Bay of Fires is one of the freshest, most exciting shows I've seen to date. One of my pet hates is being spoon-fed a plot, and Bay of Fires is the opposite! It has everything you want in a first episode - excitement, suspense and leaves you with questions you can't wait to be answered.

The characters are unique and played by some of Australia's best - Marta Dusseldorp in a way I've never seen her, Stephen Curry with mouselike trepidation, Pam Rabe and Roz Hammond in a duo so unique you can't tear your eyes away!

I hope people give this show a chance. It has all the elements of a classic Aussie comedy with the beauty of Tasmania as its backdrop. I can't wait to watch the rest!

Bay of Fires is a fresh take on the dramedy genre with moments of high tension as well as witty dialogue that leaves your stomach sore. Marta gives an incredible performance as the hapless Anika as she attempts to navigate family, moving house and murderous Russians. The rest of the cast look promising in their various roles as the quirky townsfolk of this curious town. Most notably Stephen Curry as the hilariously anxious real estate agent. The Tasmanian landscape is showcased in all its raw glory which, alongside the cinematography, makes for a beautiful watch. The first episode does well as an establisher, leaving many questions for the audience to keep them hanging on for episode two. I for one am excited to see what happens next.

Well, Australia has some of the best tv shows this season. Totally Completely Fine, Deadloch , Black Snow, even Colin from Accounts.

This is entertaining, there is lots of mystery, especially involving all the sketchy residents of that tiny little village. I cannot wait to watch more episodes.

Tasmania is extremely beautiful in all its wilderness.

The acting is top notch.

I do not want to repeat other users ideas, so I am gonna say that I totally agree with storyteller99 and chxrlesy

I have a feeling that this will improve even more.

Just give it a try and be patient, especially if you liked the 4 tv shows I refer to at the start.
