Dead Lucky

Rachel Griffiths is as always entertaining but unfortunately the script was not up to her level. The writer just wasn't up to pulling all the strings of this tale in a realistic way.

I loved the cast and story. I just wish it had more seasons.

When I started the 1st (of only 4) episodes, I thought it was a mistake. It looked to be really cliche, and the characters seemed like "TV characters". You know: characters who don't behave in ways that actual humans do out here in the real world. By the 2nd episode, the unexpected plot twists, which kept this long-time TV viewer guessing, overshadowed that. Gained 2 stars simply for very creative plotting. I'm not disappointed that there won't be (AFAIK) another season, because the characters aren't compelling enough on their own and I don't think lightening could strike twice in terms of a really creative plot.

Rachel Griffiths and Yoson An turned in good performances, but the plot is thin to say the least, the other characters one dimensional, terrible wooden acting, (the accents were cringeworthy). We watched all 4 episodes, so something got us hooked - cinematography was good - but director and scriptwriters should be ashamed to have wasted such great talent.

Well done to all who have put their talents to work in this production. This goes along with some of the best British produced shows of the same genres and for someone to say it was like an American production is an insult. If I do have a negative (and I have to hunt for it) is being filmed in Sydney so many of the land marks around Sydney are being used. Many productions I have seen shows Banangaroo as a back drop. Maybe use some of our provisional towns would not only make a change but may help some of our small struggling towns.
