Screen power even small screen pairing of Kidman and Jackman works pretty well chemistry. There is a lack of great acting talent around these days but this pair has more talent than most of them. They make someone like Tom Cruise look like a bloody cardboard cutout.
This series is an expansion of the movie Australia, done on a much smaller budget for streaming. The story is told from a child's eye and the fantasy of a child is huge and makes this series an enjoyable story. It also gives us embellished views of Jackman and Kidman.
Kidman was with child while some of this was filmed. It is kept well hidden. For someone like me who has never been closer to Australia than an Outback Steakhouse the views are stunning and well framed. The Kangaroos running next to the truck is a fine sequence and there are many magnificent vistas.
The reason I am at this rating is because the last episode of war comes off rather flat for me. It is important as not many World War 2 depictions of the Japanese invasion of Northern Australia exist. The trouble for me is when the ending scenes come of Nullah, Kidman and Jackman, it is like there is an abrupt stop of the war and then a conclusion of the child's story clipped on like a sudden rush one would get like they just want to get it over. Despite this lack of transition at the end, this is a very watchable series.
