Okay I approached this with trepidation. Looked like a series trying to have more cliches than Crocodile Dundee. But surprisingly the more I got into it the less I thought of it as stereotypical Australian tv show. Yes the mob guys are a bit unrealistic, the original ex rev going Zumba is stupid, but the character development of the rest of the cast as it goes on is good and the scenery is great to watch. Worth more than the low ratings it has received. Overall it is worth a watch if looking for something to invest a bit of time in. With different characters it keeps it interesting and makes a nice change from the normal tv series.
The tension:
Between key characters needing to keep an increasing range of secrets, track someone down, and avoid numerous conflicts or people trying to track them down, the tension was there when needed. But it was also paced in a way that left a bit of room for drama and light comedy, which helped both with character building and giving the tense bits more impact when they did roll around.
The comedy: The first episode seemed a bit slapstick and silly in places, but it quickly improved - focusing more on those characters with charisma. Most of the light comedy was then either to do with the awkward situations and coincidences, or the main character's sarcasm. And that's the comedy that worked. Two side characters had a bit of banter that was pretty funny at times too.
The religion: It was a bit torn on how it treated Christianity. At first, I expected it to flat out ridicule and mock those of who believe, as a lot of modern comedy does. For a few episodes I was then pleasantly surprised to find that they struck a kind balance, respecting both believers and non-believers. Unfortunately, as it progressed, I think it turned out even worse than simply mocking us: instead subtly twisting religious belief to fit the directors' personal narratives or agendas. A shame, because it was so close to be a rare, respectful show. (Shouldn't matter to non-believers, of course).
Overall: Decent, light fun that also has a bit of tension to make you want to keep watching. And the ending makes you hope for season 2.

Follows an ensemble cast of believable eccentrics and is set in a very country part of Far North Queensland that is over four hours drive from the capital. It is a place where crocodiles are a far greater risk than sharks and cassowaries even more so.
Irreverent is a delightfully oddball comedy with some nice scenery to back it up. It follows in the path of several other eccentric Australian comedy / dramas. The show has a good twist on the familiar 'road to redemption' story. It shows the clueless city person who may be well-adapted to an urban existence, but has little awareness of life in the world outside their usual confines. We are looking forward to seeing more of it.

Reminiscent of Lilllyhammer. Mafioso on witness protection takes over quirt Norwegian yown, populated by weirdos snd complete dummies. And vorrupts them in hilarious ways.
I have just started watching the series. As an Australian I am familiar with the image of quirky hillbillies that some movies pretend all Australians fit into. Not ttue ..... for most of us .... But ....
We have a breed of .... clumsy 'unpolished', unselfconsciosly semi-moronic hayseeds we call bogans. Many almost fit the characters in this production. To truly appreciate the humour of this program one needs to understand the often laconic, sometimes completely 'boof-headed', often self deprecatory style of Aussie humour. Some Yanks get it. Probably most don't. Americans tend to take themselves too seriously.

Selfish guy on the run, lands in a lovely small coastal town (with spectacular views) and starts to care about the residents.
This is a great show, easy to watch that is funny, warm and very engaging because of the characters.
Every episode you learn more and more about the characters, ad it never really seems forced, but it does mean that every episode you feel a little more invested.
Its seemingly a dimple idea but they get a lot of plates spinning so its very bingeable as others have said. You want to know what each plate will do next but also there is a lot of heart.
Give this show a go, its free!
(oh, Maso?! Maso?! Maso!)
