Reef Break

Like ramsey-48408 said I don't understand why they couldn't just set it in Australia where it is obviously filmed. As it is it's largely a series of good to bad American accents and the occasional US flag on someone's shoulder to say...SEE! It's America. They couldn't even get the steering wheels on the correct side for the US.

My advice is just to let the Australian accent fly and there would be a great improvement!

Poppy's character is very similar to her Carrie Wells character in Unforgettable which is good. The scenery is great and the writing is good, but not great. Some kinks need to be worked out as with any new show. I would suggest strengthening the supporting cast.

Once again we have a good looking smartass who like cracking remarks while acting fearless. We have a first episode that was completely predictable all the way through (Which was enough to take it off future recording). It's just another like a female Magnum PI, and every other beach detective series rolled into one. You know. locations with beautiful people as lead characters doing extremely dumb things and succeeding anyway. It is the same foolish foremat they keep using time and again. Actually the first five minutes on the plane after landing tells you EXACTLY what kind of nonesense you are in for. Just a lot of cheese and foolishness.

The main problem I have with this show is the terribly mis-cast role of an ex-FBI agent played by an Irish actor whose accent is clearly distinguishable and whose long hair, beard and mannerisms don't seem at all credible for the role.

But it's so obvious that it's an Australian show with bad American accents. Should have either used American actors or made it set on a an Australian island and used Aussie accents. Also I don't think Poppy Montgomery was right for the role.

If you can get past that it's an ok show and was somewhat entertaining.
