Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 08/07/2018
Debicki's muted shock is fine-tuned, and she resists the ripeness that such an out-there character as Anna might invite. It's a great role. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) 08/30/2017
2/5
We know the drill. It's unnerving, eerie happenings as played out against a vast landscape. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 03/01/2017
This ponderous, derivative show is what happens when a writer sacrifices character on the altar of plot. The more the plot thickens, the more jaw-achingly tedious it becomes. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 01/31/2018
Mostly it feels like a wannabe Twin Peaks, only without much plot, dialogue or characterization. Debicki is forced to mope through the episodes like a sleep walker. Go to Full Review Jonathan Hatfull SciFiNow 04/13/2017
3/5
Debicki makes for an intriguing lead, it's certainly atmospheric and, in spite of some major flaws and lulls in the storytelling, this is worth a look for anyone wanting something a little stranger from their murder mysteries. Go to Full Review Mark Sanderson The Arts Desk 04/04/2017
1/5
This is TV made by stupid people - dunces who don't read, chuckle-headed clowns who derive their feeble inspiration from the moving image. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paper B @RT42396878 Sep 22 I finally watched this over 2 days in 2025. I really enjoyed its weirdness and slow almost trance like pace. And the strangest part of all was the ending! See more Dave O @RT91969334 04/17/2020 This was a slooooooooowwww moving train. Couldn't finish. The Dr. was unbearable to watch. It sucked! See more 07/31/2017 i had a theory when i finished it a couple of weeks ago and honestly i can't even remember what it was. The series kept me on the edge of my seat, i was even looking online for the ending because i couldnt wait any longer(btw i couldnt find any spoilers) It kept me interested and frankly it was better than most of the stuff i find on tv. Netflix has been the place where i have found some of the best whodunit and detective shows. See more Harry H @poaono 01/10/2017 The show moves at a very slow pace until the last two episodes. The main character is very hard to have sympathy for. Almost all of the characters lack any reason to care for them. You get stuck watching because of the hopes that something is going to happen or you will finally find out what the heck is going on. The first five episodes could have been done as two. The entire season could have...should have been four episodes. Probably will not watch season 2. Shame, because it has a good story line, and they sure took time to develop some of the characters, just took too long to develop and some very important characters were not developed at all, but simply and suddenly placed near the end of the season. See more 01/02/2017 And utterly baffling mystery from Down Under that borrows most of its notes from the other side of the world -- Scandinavian Noir. Impossible to tell the characters apart or understand their motivations, but it looks nice, and Elizabeth Dibecki gives an interesting performance that tilts between icy reserve and mania. See more Michele G @RT97730449 12/31/2016 Eight wasted hours. Of note is the fact that there's always a full moon in Tasmania. See more Read all reviews
