Dead Lucky

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.

Recommended!

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

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

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.
