The Gloaming

The landscape of Tasmania and mood of the show is pretty good, overall the storyline was okay but the acting was beyond awful. So cringeworthy! Had such potential but overall the script and acting really let the team down.

Warning, no spoilers except for the fact that no Australian would call the vehicle Freddie drives a truck. It's what Aussies refer to as a ute. Maybe the script writer isn't an Aussie and no other member of the cast and crew is either else someone would have picked up on the fact that the bloody vehicle is not a truck but a bloody ute.

Apart from that it's not a bad show.

This is a great binge watch. Moody and intriguing, it starts as a slow burn, which allows for a delicious and expanding experience. Loved that they don't rush to the reveals, but let us enjoy trying to figure out the characters as the investigation unfolds - Visually stunning with complexity and intrigue, it's a satisfying and complete story. Those characters are worth another outing, and the casting is spot on. I hope they do another season, with a new, equally interesting storyline - I'm grateful they didn't succumb to 'cliffhanger bait' so the next season can be fresh and complete like this one. Also makes me want to visit Tasmania!

So enjoyed this first series and hoping for a second ! Loved the scandi noir feeling of the storytelling and cinematography. Terrific characters and very unsettling. Really enjoyed this one !

I hate invisible characters. They are convienent for writers who can't write better storylines. And I am tired with angst. The 2 detectives would be off the job. Dysfunctional This is too slow. Do they want 4 seasons out of this? I wonder how long before they introduce the comedy side character to the show. Still. I'm only up to episode 3 so maybe it will open up and go somewhere. Production quality is top notch and dam do they capture Tasmania well
