Bali 2002

Ignore the negative reviews!

Just because someone doesn't like this, there is no reason to trash an exceptionally good series! Get a life!!!

After reading some of the reviews you'd think it was the worse thing that's been on tv!.

This is really good, in my opinion and that's just my opinion! I think there are some better performers or actors in the show! And not necessarily all Australian!!

The people panning it are complete morons! Someone called it mega cringe! I can imagine what trash they watch!

I found it to be engrossing from beginning to end. This is a true life event that was seriously tragic!

I highly recommend it. And it does NOT deserve the lowest ratings!

It was really quite confronting to see this tragedy re-enacted. The show is tasteful, showing actual footage while pairing it with the narrative of the storyline.

It was thought provoking and the cast have done a good job in portraying the chaos and trauma well.

Perhaps would have liked a bit more character development before the bombs went off as well as additional characters however looks it's been executed well.

Sadly user: "mkennedy-36926" has written a rather inflammatory and negative review. The fact this person hasn't got a basic grasp of the English language when it comes to spelling or grammar shows their absolute lack of intellect.

There were some confronting scenes which really hit home the devastation victims and their families have had to endure. The acting and directing overall was good enough to want to watch each episode until the end. It wasn't intended to be a blockbuster but a timely documentation of the pain and suffering of the victims and the investigation occurring at the time. And that's exactly what this series is. For the critics attacking the actors; I think they played their roles very well, particularly as traumatised victims both during and after the bombings. I think perhaps they could have shared more stories or followed the progress of the victims' recoveries in more depth, but that's just nit-picking to reach the 600 word count required by this review.

I could not stop watching. A good overview of the Bali Bombing with actual footage. Entertaining, both dramatically and emotionally. This four part series takes you through time from before the event, during and after. It also looks at the medical breakthrough by Fiona Wood and her spray on skin. Plus both Indonesia and Australian forensic and detective work to find the cause, reason and perpetrators that caused this devastating act and many to follow. I could easily watch this again and strongly recommend you do!

There is one actor missing from the IMDb cast - Sophia Forrest who played a large part in this production.

For anyone who is not Australian, factual accuracy is much less important than emotion, timing, flow, direction, acting, photography, music and the overall experience of watching 4 episodes glued to your seat. It is one of the most perfectly crafted and moving miniseries i have ever seen. I'm sorry if the player is bald or has a blond mane, or if the doctor was taken care of by the wardrobe department. What matters is the respect, lack of exaggeration and realism with which such horrible event is treated by the filmmakers. I was entertained and movedinequal measure, so kudos to the filmmakers. For me it's a perfect 10.
