Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 10/22/2019
1/5
Has familiar albeit excessive flaws: crucial characters are paper-thin in terms of background and motivation, the plot falters repeatedly and the final episode, after a ludicrous level of prevarication, resolves almost nothing. Go to Full Review
Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian 07/29/2019
It's not the cinematic TV of today's golden era but, as a teleseries, it's a step beyond the crass commercial sensibilities of something like Channel Nine's Underbelly franchise. Go to Full Review
Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 02/26/2018
There's politics, passion and perversity aplenty in this ambitious, fast-moving drama. It's muscular, confronting and timely, and even if not everything in it quite works it is still one of the most invigorating pieces of television you will see all year. Go to Full Review

J C @Blind_guide Aug 13 This series has as much similarity to the far superior original movie as Jaws does to Titanic. It would seem that the director of this series would struggle to direct a pile of wood, and it shows. See more harsh c @H_A_R_S_H 12/10/2020 First three episodes are dull but watchable, despite the unlikeable characters and monotone wooden acting of "Kane". The end of E3 got my hopes up it might get interesting, but then E4 immediately nosedived into ludicrousness, and the plot just kept sinking to the point where it became amusing to watch how so many contrived story threads can be converged into one big bullshit finale. But not amusing enough to warrant watching it. Give it a miss. See more 10/05/2019 This was an amazing series. Although it was somewhat a sequel to Romper Stomper the movie, it was so much better. It truly captured the dangers of extremists and extremism on both sides of the political spectrum. It is extremely relevant to world politics today. Bravo! If this season is not renewed, I, liable to become an extremist to hunt down the production LOL kidding, but hopefully they will do more. This is the best series I have seen in decades.

It really identified real problems with white supremacists in Australia See more 10/26/2018 Steaming pile of shit See more 06/09/2018 I really enjoyed this show and how it carries on from the movie. A bit like the movie it works on a subtler level than just skinheads smashing foreigners over the head with blunt objects. It's more about the values that both side share and completley fail to recognise with disasterous consequences. See more Read all reviews
