Cringeworthy

Being an Aussie myself, I really wanted to like this show. Sadly, I found it to be lacking in so many ways! The acting is so awful, even Radha Mitchell cannot save this one. And Iain Glen must have been really desperate for work when he agreed to be part of this show.

The characters are not at all likeable, I don't even care what happens to them. I can't fathom how other reviewers are giving this a 10 out of 10 rating - it's terrible! I feel I am being generous by giving it four stars - that's only for the 70s music.

I have watched three episodes and that's it, I can't watch any more . . . A shame when there are so many excellent Aussie dramas. This is NOT one of them!
