gkdyer-62921 I found this series to be very thought provoking, and found myself often wondering what I would have done in the same situation. I found the acting to be realistic and believable, and the script was true to the local lingo. The subject matter remains topical and series such as this one help to put a human face to people often referred to as "boat people".
deanjyoung This was one of those series where by the story is lacking and the production is so over the top that the more you watch the more frustrated you become. Utterly disappointed
grovervj I have now watched all 3 episodes and it is getting worse every week. I think the acting is mediocre, special effects and music over the top.Of course the Australian critics will rave about it as that is what they do, but it does not measure up to some of the BBC thrillers. They have good story telling, drama without excess and believable actors.As usual Screen Australia have supported a product that should have been rejected, good story, terrible production. Music, acting , lighting, special effects all badly executed.
diversdream Unlike the Rasisct 'white Power' rant posted by 'Arize' I intend to Review this Series for what it is and not make some Political B/S statement that has nothing to do with reviewing it.A Brilliant Piece of Confrontational TV, with a nice Mystery on the Boil, with the Police becoming involved from ep2.I think Ewen Leslie is one of Australia's best Actors, he was Excellent in Devils Dust which was all about the Cover Ups during Asbestos Mining in Australia as one of Many Examples of His Work in this country. Jackie Mckenzie is always good in anything She does, as is Leanna Walsman.The Middle Eastern Actors, esp the Mum/Dad and Son whose Daughter/Sister died on the Journey Over at sea are so gut achingly real that You feel both their sadness and anger over their Combined Loss.It was also Refreshing to see correct Nautical Terms in use, for example "Pan Pan" rather then the stock standard Mayday which is not used in Australian Waters by those Familiar with Sea Crossings in an emergency situation.The Cinematography is beautiful but stark and being a SCUBA Diver myself Special Mention should be made of the Underwater Photography Units work. Stephen Reas Music is both haunting and evocative for the scenes it backgrounds.Only 1 ep in but I am hooked and can't wait to see how it develops as the story continues.10/10.As the Newspaper Guardian Australia said its own Review 'unmissable Television with No Easy Answers'.Sums it up perfectly, a Thinking Persons TV Program. Highly Recommended.
