The Gloaming

This is a great binge watch. Moody and intriguing, it starts as a slow burn, which allows for a delicious and expanding experience. Loved that they don't rush to the reveals, but let us enjoy trying to figure out the characters as the investigation unfolds - Visually stunning with complexity and intrigue, it's a satisfying and complete story. Those characters are worth another outing, and the casting is spot on. I hope they do another season, with a new, equally interesting storyline - I'm grateful they didn't succumb to 'cliffhanger bait' so the next season can be fresh and complete like this one. Also makes me want to visit Tasmania!

This show starts off intriguing enough yet losers it's touch, seems not to concentrate on one thing at a time but 4-5 different things at a time.The landscape is brilliant the acting is on cue.Yet the story is a little strange.Am only up to Episode 6 and it's not answering nothing as yet. Due to being Australian I will watch the end of it but it's watchable and interesting maybe you need to make up your own mind.

The landscape of Tasmania and mood of the show is pretty good, overall the storyline was okay but the acting was beyond awful. So cringeworthy! Had such potential but overall the script and acting really let the team down.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Gloaming. The slow burn and cinematic landscapes set the atmosphere so wonderfully and pulled the watcher in seamlessly. The onscreen presence of Emma Booth as Molly McGee and her chemistry with Ewen Leslie as Alex O'Connell along with a character filled support cast simply made this series. I love that the series was unashamedly Australian, it makes me want to visit Tasmania now more than ever. I look forward to seeing if there is a second series. We need more quality TV like this!

You cant fault the Tasmanian landscape or the cinematography at all. There is a really haunting feeling to the whole production which is right on point. But then there is something really mediocre about the acting and script. And it's really surprising because there are some really great actors in it. But all the characters are just so ridiculously clichéd. The storyline had such great promise too; murder, religious cults, family secrets and convict history. What more could you ask for?! But it too was incredibly clichéd and none of the plot twists were even slightly surprising. Overall it was ok. But I had just hoped for so much more.
