Dead Lucky

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 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.

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.

Strong characters, drama, story, and acting. Beautifully backdrops made this better then a 6.

Fantastic Aussie television that grabs you from the get go. Great cast, especially the newbie detective (Charlie) who is also oh so easy on eyes!

I loved that is focussed on internationals students studying in Aus as well as the fact that it was filmed in Sydney (with some very nice cinematography to boot).

Add in some plot twists which I did not see coming and I'd say this is a really enjoyable ride.
