Wanted

Just finished binge watching all 12 episodes over two and a half days.

My only complaints are that it bordered on getting repetitive and I had to work at suspending belief when some near misses happened. On a couple occasions I said to myself, "they wouldn't be so stupid or let down their guard so much after going through all they went through."

Perfect score for being so engaging. The timing on the humor is perfect. The scenery and cinematography outstanding. It made me laugh out loud and get teary eyed. It made me scream at the t.v. to warn them. There are plenty of twists and characters to love and to hate.

So line up your snacks and start watching.

Superbly acted and written. Not your average cop drama. the plot changes every time you get up for a pint. Not a problem for the cast, which turns on a dime. Keeps the audience guessing, and engaged. Perfect for binge watching. Hard to put down. The only problem for American ears is that sometimes the Australian accents are hard to pick out from the background sound. Otherwise, a 10 out of 10.

I went into this series knowing nothing about it. It was refreshing to see that there was a good old fashioned Australian action/drama without needing to engage the help of Vampires, Zombies, Time Travel or Superheroes. I was hooked from the moment it started. Lola (Rebecca Gibney) captured my attention from the get go with her ability to portray a gritty-real person, a tough talking no bulls%it kind of Aussie chick who like all of us, is just trying to get through the day without the inevitable curve ball life tends to throw our way. As the episode progresses we find there is much more to Lola (Rebecca Gibney) than meets the eye, and with the introduction of her kooky counterpart Chelsea (Geraldine Hakewill), the characters begin to develop and an unorthodox relationship is formed.

In the interest of not spoiling this for anyone I will only say that this series has ticked most boxes for me with the humour, the characters and the use of so many locations around our gorgeous country. Wanted has it all and hopefully it will continue to deliver the action and drama one can expect from the likes of Rebecca Gibney. It doesn't hurt that it also stars two of the hunkiest Australian actors in the likes of - Chris Murphett (Ryan Corr) and Josh Levine (Stephen Peacocke).

The two leads are just excellent, the way their friendship develops is beautiful. It bowls along at a terrific pace and amuses and delights all the way through. The supporting cast are very good and it's just really, really enjoyable, watch it, you won't regret it.

A hugely enjoyable twist on a tried and tested old storyline of hapless innocents wandering into a heist plot with gangsters and bent cops. Better than expected. Yes the plot is daft and much of the on goings incredulous but the two lead actresses are good enough chemistry and subtle comedy with a warm relationship & some painful life truths to carry this through. Its an Australian "Thelma and Louise" meets "Home & Away" meets "it's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" The only complaint is some of the support acting is atypical B rate Australian soap, in fact almost all the support are dreadfully inept actors & that somewhat lets down the hard effort of the two leads & the writers

Predictable but great fun. Just when you think its over, they're off again.
