North Shore

I was hoping this mini series would be a face spaced thriller set against the background of beautiful Sydney and Sydney Harbour. It was a slow routine mystery with great actors like the Queen of the British mini series Joanne Froggatt and the beautiful Claire Lovering. Unusual casting of John Bradley as the British cop but added a little bit of humour.

It was a beautiful tourist commercial for Sydney. I would like to see film makers who have a big budget , great cast and locations make a fast spaced serial killer style mystery in Sydney, The Rocks and the Northern Beaches. Gave it a 7 for the cast and beautiful photography.

Bit odd.

I'm not sure what to make of this series given the fact you've spoken about things that seem so unnatural to the story. Why do I need to know that hormones are allowed in Australian meat, but not in British meat? What is your point?

Why do you keep bringing up, repeatedly, about the farming/meat standards being inferior in Australia compared to other countries? It seems very unnaturally placed in the script like you're trying to make a point?

Loved watching this for Max's character and the actor who plays him. As for his "boss" and her angst and unfriendliness, it seems a bit-well, cringe.

Ok I'm five episodes in so probably shouldn't be calling it.

There's a bit to like.

The actual whodunnit is mildly intriguing.

The pommy detective is head and shoulders above the rest of the cast.

The Aussie lead detective is just dreadful. Probably not completely the actors fault though. She starts out as every cliche ridden caricature you could imagine and pretty much stays there.

What really annoys me though is the lack of reality in the day to day situations. We are supposed to believe that the leader of the opposition in the middle of an election campaign has 3 hours to spend at the beck and call of some strumpet every night in one city. Then there's meant to be a big trade agreement. FFS have the writers not heard of caretaker mode?

Do people write bad reviews just to be pretentious or do they just have really peculiar, particular taste? The ratings on this site have become almost useless. Shows and movies are always either 10s or 2s. So many times i will read terrible reviews, watch it and like it. And the films critics love, I despise. I know I don't have totally horrible taste or don't have any standards.... I thought this was a completely enjoyable mini series and I hope for a second season. And I loved the cast. It had a satisfying ending, and a good twist. The series kept me engaged and I would recommend people give it a watch.

I liked it. It's not the best show out there, but it's also not the worst. It was obvious who the killer was about halfway through, but the twist they used to show it was probably the best 5 seconds of acting in the series. It's a police procedural that you can watch with your kids. No intense shoot-outs, no car chases through the city with multiple wrecks, no sex scenes etc. Watching this reminded me of watching the last Crocodile Dundee; It definitely won't win any awards, but you can do far worse. It's a very pleasant 4 hour evening binge. I'm looking forward to a second season if they make one because the ending of this one could go either way.
