The first episode of Cleverman referenced numerous themes relevant to Australia's government and non-Indigenous people's longstanding issues of racism and prejudice towards Indigenous people. It also highlighted the complex relationship between politics and culture that Indigenous people are often forced to navigate.
The main characters are working within a society that consistently produces policy and law that deliberately or inadvertently disempowers a specific minority of people. The complexities inherent in this juggling act set the scene, and we are given the privilege of watching how a diverse set of characters handle themselves. I can see lots of room for character growth in this series going forward.
The acting and cinematography are A+, I specifically enjoyed the scene that was set with the protagonist ruminating with moonlight strewing into his room.
Also the lead actor is super attractive (I see you Rob Collins). Sorry to divert but a quick google search should highlight why I brought it up ;)
It's really good, watch it.
