Population: 11

Find it really hard to make a review 600 words now lol, but here we go.

I managed to finish the series in one night and while I normally don't do that, it was the support cast that kept me engrossed as I chuckled alongside them.

How good was it seeing Katrina Milosevic in a comedy for once? Especially after Wentworth she was truly a breath of fresh air that made me chuckle watching her in a role far from the confines of Wentworth. Geraldine was a hoot who wasn't afraid to cross a line when needed.

It's not supposed to be serious and why are people complaining about that? Acting like you're superior, it's silly fun and if you don't like that, maybe comedic dramas aren't your thing.

Give it a go, it's comedic drama being silly and it's good.

I expected this to be just another cheesy outback drama like the tourist. Don't get me wrong, the tourist was watchable but also forgettable. Season 2 was Meh!. This one I found myself really enjoying and stayed up way past my bedtime on a "school night" before dragging myself away and then finished it off the next day. I won't lie, I expected this to be something I'd watch between better options. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I picked up on the Last Stop Larrimah storyline pretty quick, which I enjoyed seeing the characters based on real life people and elements woven in. All very Aussie but have a hidden side that makes you wonder about why they moved to a town so remote and what they were really getting away from. Growing up in a country town, I get how small communities can be. But where most show's will add in stereotype characters and let the star shine, this show gave depth to each character and developed a story for each. This was one of the few shows where the characters were not so predictable. It's great to enjoy the wider cast rather than be annoyed by them.

Loved the film making. Trent O'Donnell is becoming one of those directors who is popping up everywhere. Even the US version of Ghosts!!!! The other people behind this show are also great and have made shows I've enjoyed. I loved that the actors were people who have worked with this crew before. You can see that they are bringing talent with them and it makes for amazing TV.

We started this show with no expectations.

A quirky start as you would expect from a mystery based on a population of 12 -1 in the Aussie outback. Give it a tick, the pace picks up fairly quickly and it's a fun ride.

You could easily pick it apart but keep in mind it's billed as a comedy, so if you were expecting something else, this ain't it.

The absence of DEI, virtue signaling, racial bias is refreshing. So tired of all the shows that promote that.

This was just a fun whodunnit, albeit quirky and if you want to spend 3.5 hours on a fun show this might fit the bill.

We enjoyed the series, hope you give it a go.

I was very nervous when I saw another Australian TV offering listed for streaming.

So I watched Ep 1 waiting for it to dribble into dross like so many of recent Australian offerings.

But it made me binge watch the whole series at one sitting and I totally enjoyed it!

It's not perfect and there are some elements which are a bit hard to take but it's script is tight and oft times humourous, balance by a team of actors each of whom know what they are doing, and get on and do it.

It's hard to pick out any one actor who stands out but the American actor Ben Feldman is excellent in his role and the script uses his American origins to good effect.

So thank you all, people, for providing me with a very entertaining night in front of the Telly.

Started watching, seemed ok, but the more episodes I watched, I realised that the writers had made the protagonist to stupid in his actions, personality and character that I just couldn't root for him to get the money he's after. Maybe they had a reason for that, but I can't see it. The Australian actors/characters are good for their part in the story, and I'm just watching the rest of it purely for closure. I doubt I'll watch a second season, should it ever come to be.

If they'd written it as a pure mystery; there's enough of a plot for it to have been rather good. I think, also, there's enough quirks amongst the town's population to have given it something different to the usual drama we see nowadays. Ah, well.

EDIT: Ok, just finished watching ep12... The unraveling and solution to the ongoing mystery was a surprising twist, and I'll probably watch a second season. Still don't like the protagonist, though, but I'll knock my initial review of 4 up to 5.
