So disappointed. I waited week after week for the newest episode, and the creators decided to throw every trope up in the air.

Not one character is worth liking except for the daughter. Everyone is a monster...and when, you might feel some empathy, it is torn away by these characters reactions.

Ugh...it was 1- centric. No one was 3 dimensional.

The first two episodes were really engaging. This basically tried to show family problems with a frigged up family, but, all I was hoping for, was the missing person to come back, because these relatives were lethal. Seriously, a NOT watch.

A mom of two kids goes swimming. She doesn't return. Other siblings are called. This had potential but veered down a one way of boredom after episode 2.

The first two episodes had me intrigued. It was a good solid story of a missing woman, presumably drowned. A dysfunctional family come together to try to find their missing mother/sister.

Episode 3 was watched with great anticipation. Did she drown? Will the family resolve their differences under this cloud? But the episode was a total disappointment. The acting was clunky. The storyline seemed disjointed and confused. And why chuck in a random sex act? Did it add value? I think not.

Much discussion was had in our household. Should we persevere with this series? We decided to give it one more go. Perhaps episode 3 was a slump and it would pick back up in ep 4. Wrong! We bailed about halfway through it and have decided to ditch this series. Episode was as slow as a wet week, and seemed to be filmed in real time. The ep added nothing to the story and seemed to have forgotten that the series is about the missing family member.

Did she drown or was there foul play? I'll never know...

After the first episode my interest faltered but I thought I'd give it another try. However, after episide two, this straggle of annoying, dysfunctional characters, none of whom is even remotely likeable or relatable, makes this too painful to continue watching. I find the acting clumsy and the flashbacks are too short to provide insights into the history of family relationships. It may well be that there are lots of families like this, burdened by feuds, animosity and lack of genuine affection. But in this show, watching them deal with the issue of a missing family member is, I just can't make myself care about any of them. They all seem too self centred and fake to elicit sympathy or even interest.

This series started out promising/intriguing, but the more you get to know the characters, the more offputting and unlikable most of them are. The teenagers annoyed me, and the adults are all ridiculously self-centered and more or less worthless. It seemed to be well acted, but there wasn't much redemptive in any of the characters.

I tried to enjoy it, but it just kept letting me down over and over again. And that single sister was just despicable. The gay couple was also rather offensive. Why would anyone want them to be the parents of the two teenagers? They kept taking drugs and having sex with everyone. Not a great example, nor good role models.

I was somewhat intrigued by where this story was going and was prepared for it to develop. The first three episodes were a little disjointed but there was enough there to warrant seeing how the Therese were going to be tied together. However episode 4 was a complete waste of time. There was nothing in this episode that made any sense. It just meandered through a whole lot of scenes that had no connection to anything we'd seen before. There was no intrigue unless you consider no story development at all as intrigue. There was nothing in it that made me want to sit through another meandering hour. I'm sure the writers will do something with it in the remaining episodes but I won't be there to find out.

First off I've only seen the 3 episodes that have dropped and I can safely say I don't think I've seen an inner city Australian family portrayed with such naturalness and fragility . No performances are overplayed , none of the interiors are overblown and the general cinema verite style is intimate and awkward.

The two young leads performances are really impressive, as are the two older sisters and Todd shows off acting skills rarely seen from Him before .

I appreciate the somber and deeply saturated colours of the show don't reflect the coastal NSW we are used to, but I'm intrigued and keen to see where all this goes .

I really loved this series. It really pulls are your heart strings. I cried at least once every episode. Anyone with half a heart should watch it.

All the cast did an absolutely brilliant job, with the two kids (3 actually) and Todd giving stand out performances. I've always found Todd to be funny, but in this role, which was far from comical, I really think it was made for him and he played it flawlessly.

The production values were really great too and it's obvious that everyone involved put their heat and soul into making what was a really great show dealing with emotional topics.

I highly recommend this series.

I have never watched a show hit rock bottom so fast and so hard. The initial premise was good and intriguing, then very quickly the show turned into a joke and became unwatchable. Another embarrassing production with zero depth or vision and no real storyline. The script was awful. All of the substories or subplots were plugins that did nothing to tie the show all together. Do the actors really enjoy this nonsense? Do they enjoy playing cartoon characters in someone else's head? Goofy and unintelligent. Like I said, no depth, no insight. No story. A disjointed mess. Will they learn from this? No. Because they do not know how to.

The first episode of the series says a good introduction to the premise and characters. However, from the second episode onwards, the characters are shown through their various weaknesses - but I'm struggling to find strengths.

The kids can be forgiven, being just teens, for struggling to deal with the loss of their mum. However, the self-centredness of the various aunts and uncle shows how they're unable to focus on the most important thing - supporting the kids. Relationships with friends and officials are strained, as happens at such a stressful time, but the sort-of-maybe wannabe romance between Hanna and the ?non-binary George feels far more clunky than even the most awkward teen romance in TV history.

Episode 4 is a total disaster. With the exception of the last two minutes, it does nothing to advance the story. It's as though the writer of this book adaptation originally thought there should be five episodes - but the network had decided, at the last minute, that there should be six eps. Enter the episode of mindless partying, drugs and booze at the Mardi grass. (I did enjoy the parody of one prominent religious anti-mardi grass Sydneysider, however.)

The sole reason I have for watching past ep 3 was that I don't like abandoning short series. I do want to know what happened. However, in this case, the series was just under six hours that I'll never get back 🙄

Dysfunctional family relationships. Siblings are divided and alienated from each other... nephew and nieces alienation and isolated children and no real connections or unconditional love. Sibling abuse behaviour and bullying towards one sibling and family relationships are tedious and torturous.the sisters are manipulative and emotionally vulnerable. People in denial or dysfunctional or alcoholics or hierarchical family systems or narcissistic parent or narcissistic care givers or no way to write teenagers script good attempt to articulate their behaviour and experience of their families dysfunction.
