I was captivated by the first few episodes and thought that at last we had a worthwhile Australian thriller on our hands, complete with Nordic Noir undertones. The build up of tension was managed competently and, given that character development isn't a strong feature of thrillers as a rule, the actors did well. However, the impetus couldn't be maintained to the end.
That last episode was a let-down: It was as if someone had realised a conclusion must be reached and ends tied up. It was a mess. How everyone could be brought together for the last ten minutes was simply implausible, and the final shots were cringeworthy.
If only this series could have lived up to its initial promise.
