Never heard of or read the books so I come to this as just the TV show. Perhaps for me a blessing as I love the show I don't look for anything meaningful but just a fun story telling of a time in eighties Sydney/Bondi/Kings Cross area.
It's unpolished , blokey, strong characters filled with deprecating humour. Acting is pretty okay .
Look it probably won't win a hoard of awards at the Logies but for a mindless fun filled 50-55minutes on a Sunday evening in front of the box one could do far worse. Enjoy it for what it is entertainment.
