The Gloaming - Le ore più buie

....but I don't know what the heck is going on. I'll give it a few more episodes with something better happen!

It's a good watch. The style and some other elements borrows heavily from True Detective Season One. I would have given it a 7 or 8 except for one thing, one of the central villains a Scottish Australian is played by a New Zealand Maori with a thick NZ accent. This is utterly ridiculous considering she's supposed to be a 5th generation Australian descended from Scottish convicts.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Gloaming. The slow burn and cinematic landscapes set the atmosphere so wonderfully and pulled the watcher in seamlessly. The onscreen presence of Emma Booth as Molly McGee and her chemistry with Ewen Leslie as Alex O'Connell along with a character filled support cast simply made this series. I love that the series was unashamedly Australian, it makes me want to visit Tasmania now more than ever. I look forward to seeing if there is a second series. We need more quality TV like this!

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!

Another embarrassing Aussie production trying to copy what everyone else does and ending up with a complete mess.

A clunky script, dull characters and completely derivative story combine to make this show not the Nordic Noir it wants to be but Tassie Try-hard!

It is over filtered and over styled, seemingly focused far more on how it looks (leading to some really bad calls on make up and costume..would Molly McGee really put heavy eyeliner on each day when she can barely get out of bed?)

Even the shots of the the ravishing scenery are somewhat ruined through the endless repetition of a snow capped Mount Wellington.

Yet another missed opportunity.

Stan have done some good Tv (Wolf Creek series one) but recent productions whilst well funded are totally missing the mark.
