Haidee S @RT54857843 Jan 9, 2025 Season 1 was excellent, this was not. Example (spoiler) the Chief of Police is having an affair with a police woman and makes the detective work with her, no discretion, no mention of normal office ethics, he makes out with her in the office and bears no resemblance to a character that heads up a policy unit. And he's organised an illegal surrogacy with his lover. Just WHY? And they have no chemistry and the whole plot is outlandish and stupid. And that's the least of the stupidity. A lot of the characters are unlikeable. I thought it would somehow come together but it only got more stupid.

Season 2 however, was dumb and only due to Nicole Kidman. She ruined the entire season and was the downfall of the show.

Disappointing See more william f @RT08918404 Mar 22, 2022 I may have to give up on this series after three episode - everyone is just too nasty particularly the male characters. What's the male of misogynist? Misandrogist? Anyway, that. From the chief cop to Mary's freakish boyfriend, to the shot cop from the previous series (an unbelievable cad, to use an old word), to the porn-loving students. The boyfriend Johnno from the previous series, a likeable character if ever there was (who Robin was going to marry) is now disdainfully swatted away like a fly. The writers/directors seem to really have it in for men. And there's a female(?) cop who's weird to the point of surreal, and doesn't seem consistent: at first adoring of Robin (the lead), then not. And Robin herself, though impressive, always seems poised on the point of breakdown - not surprising, perhaps, given what's made to happen to her in this series. A very bleak view of human nature. No Australian beach paradise, this. See more May 9, 2021 Very poorly written. Leaves you frustrated, in almost all the episodes. Can't bear the ending (or not an ending at all) as well.
