This series captured my attention almost immediately, I estimate that being the powerful, 3 dimensional authentic figure of Nicole Chamoun (Amirah) and all the relate-able, down to earth characters whom we all might be familiar with in Australian society- from the often confusing two-way cultural negotiation between Anglo Saxon (or whitey's) Australians and Muslim Lebanese Australians. Cleverly, the series is exceptionally well paced, giving enough time in each sequence for the audience to clearly and quickly get to know what a good series does in Act 1: explain the world and backdrop the characters live in, before introducing the characters themselves and the complex modern day tensions that confront every Australian no matter their faith, creed, sexuality, faith or lack of it. And that's what draws you in yet again. No matter if we're following the rivalry between father and daughter in the boxing arena, or the difficulty of a lesbian couple who just want to be together, but have to eventually face the rigid customs of their faith which nearly tears them apart, it doesn't seem to matter. This is not a play by the numbers, safety first drama just filling in. It is packed with so much tension between the characters that the boxing sequences almost take a back seat. I highly recommend this great home grown drama to anyone who likes challenging, up to date issues and real characters you can follow. Shame this has been thrown into the traditional non ratings trash timeslot of the xmas period, because if their were more honest, in your face, fearless Australian dramas like this being produced, we wouldn't be stuck with trite and tiring old repeats of dramas long gone, something we can be proud of.

Expected only the usual stereotypes of immigrant homeland vs. UK culture and values (they were there but they were so delicately handled and minimally impactful on the central plot) and instead got a well-acted, well-scripted, and engaging show which got me empathizing with and rooting for the protagonist and her allies.

Little Australian series ( I never heard of) that I found scrolling thru things to watch. Quite liked it as I love boxing and am a female. When they were showing the men sparring etc their form and technique was horrific. Was better with the women but then again I don't know how much experience they have irl. The guy( don't remember his name) she gets him to train with her? I thought was Travis Fimmell??? Any ways I liked it I just wish they didn't rush the ending and leave it like that. I mean I knew it only had a few minutes left but why end it like that when I don't think it was slated for a second season? Besides wishing to know more about the aftermath it was a well done serie.

Awesome series just fished watching can u bring a season 2 would love to see the familys together and the relationships They all formed in there personal lives and well as female boxers great series to keep watching ...

Tried my hardest to like it but found that after a couple of episodes that I didn't recognise the Australia I know and love and didn't have any empathy with the characters. Maybe if you're from Western Sydney and like female boxing it would be OK.

I just finish watching the forth and last episode , i really want more ... i hope they make more of it ...
