Wolf Creek

I'm a fan of Wolf Creek films, I just watched the show released in 2016 with only 2 seasons and 12 episodes and also with the same killer. The first season is surprising, amazing and beautifully shot. I have to admit it's better than the first film. It has a new great characters added, cinematography and style. John Jarratt as Mick wasn't a big part of the first season, but damn, he is just crazy like no one else. He looks like a real killer and he was still brilliant. I believe he's considered one of the most realistic villains in horror films ever written. Lucy Fry played as the main character/blonde girl, she begins a journey to hunt down Mick to bring him to justice after killing her family. I thought she did a bloody good job, she was excellent in it.

Now about the 2nd season, it's quite different from the first season like it's an anthology series. This season has interesting ideas, good ending, more Mick and violence. I find it quite good, but compared to Season 1, it's trash. Most of the characters were just plain dumb, Mick was only one fun character to watch and that's it. But this show have some fans who think the second season is better than the first season.

I'm surprised nobody has heard about this show, it's very enjoyable and underrated show. I've also heard there is going to be Wolf Creek 3, but I don't know it will happen for real or just planned. If you haven't seen the films, then watch the films first. I really enjoyed the entire show.

... & so the movies continue into this great TV series. It's nice to see John Jarratt back as Mick. The series makes for number of episodes that follow on from each other. When you watch these episodes you forget you're watching a TV series, you still think you're watching another "Wolf Creek" movie. The cast are brilliant. I especially like the character Sullivan Hill (played by Dustin Clare). All in all a great series and I hope this continues its great success.

Series 1 got off to a great start but then it was just...meh. A fairly uninspiring female lead, incompetent police, completely unrealistic scenarios, a cast of walking cliches. Has its moments but overall, pretty disappointing.

Series 2 I really liked. A diverse cast of characters, some humour, and much more Mick Taylor.

I'm hoping Season 3 will maintain the quality of season 2 or improve on it.

Kept me on the edge of my seat! I got frightened, sad , and angry! I mean kill this dude already! I'm never going to Australia!

Based on the Wolf Creek movies: "Wolf Creek (2005)" and "Wolf Creek 2 (2013)" which I liked so I had high hopes for the series, but unfortunately it didn't quite deliver.

It has it's moments particularly in the first and last episodes but the road there is a bit sketchy with far too many detours adding multiple characters to the mix which takes away from the main story.

John Jarrat is back as the bad guy Mick Taylor and that's great but for some reason the creators doesn't think that he's enough of a threat in the series so they randomly throw in a biker-gang as well.

Lucy Fry is our heroine in the saga, everything about her just screamed "model" to me when I saw her, from the lack of emotion in expression down to her walk, so it was unsurprised when I now googled her and found out that she in fact was a model before she took up acting.

I mean she's not at like Claudia Schiffer level of acting or anything but the character she plays undergoes a transition that need to be dealt with by an actress with a little more experience.

A direct quote from hers in real life is "I am enough - you don't need to do anything. The simplicity of how easy acting can be." And that would explain why her performance became what it is and I would probably tell her to rethink that idea.

Anyway, overall the series is okay but in the end somewhat pointless and it could have been a lot better if they didn't lose focus as often as they did.
