Tidelands

I found the premise for this series intriguing. Unfortunately, there was little character development and a randomness to the character's actions. Most of the scenes alternated between sex and violence. I've watched shows that were equally sexual & violent but - because of the randomness - both seemed gratuitous.

Not a masterpiece, but how many series are!? It left me wanting to know moore about the Tidelanders,hoping for a season 2

Beautiful Australian land and seascapes, gorgeous women, handsome men... an interesting premise. The show really shines in the beginning when it plays more like an Animal Kingdom type of crime drama. However, when it shifts to focus on the fantasy elements, the story and some of the acting becomes cringeworthy at times. The better actors tend to be the supporting characters. The lead is okay, but when forced to play against the weaker actors, her own limitations are more exposed.

I might watch next season to see what happens... but it's a bad sign when I'm struggling to finish rather than staying up all night trying to see what happens.

It's well written and acted. It seems the shows I enjoy most on Netflix are from Australia including Tidelands and Wentworth. Both are excellent. Tidelands is intriguing and infectious and is one of those shows that compels you to binge watch it.

Not great, not good. Pretty people dealing with secrets of all kinds. Some episodes have short steamy scenes. Some acting that is not wooden. If you're looking for something to bingewatch on a Saturday night and don't care about what you're watching, give Tidelands a try.
