That sums it up perfectly. The lead female cop character is immensely stupid and/or annoying. As stated by another reviewer, she's a single mother that seems to attend to the child rarely (on 24/7 stakeouts, it seems ALONE). She does one daft thing after another and halfway through episode 2 I couldn't take any more. Noah Taylor should know better!
Not sure if it's just me (and I'm an Aussie) but it seemed like every character was trying for Super Aussie-fied. All boiled down to bloody annoying.
