As an Ex-pat, I desperately want this series to succeed. However, after two episodes it has revealed yet more politically correct apologetics in presentation and delivery, with the tired old stream of NIDA extras and "found object" pool of actors, indifferent in content in most respects from the well known Australian soaps. If it lives beyond a first season I would be mightily surprised. Fortunately, there is just enough performance skill to prevent the viewer seeing the actors eyes scanning the autocue. There is very little to commend this awful rendition of the "Yowie gone mainstream" theme and carries with it the imprint of the British sci-fi series "Aliens" which itself is experiencing declining ratings. I am mortally embarrassed that this is an Australian production.
