I HATE the title of this show. I looked at it a few times before deciding I'd give it a go. I already watch quite a few really good crime drama's so adding another one didn't really appeal but I recognised a few of the actors so thought I'd watch one episode and take it from there.

I have to admit I like it. This show isn't just about the crimes committed so if you're looking for gore, guts and dexter-esque scenes then your going to be disappointed. This focuses on the complicated relationship between the leads and a few other characters while they work together in the homicide department. This isn't clear in the description so I can understand why some are disappointed when they watch it. I like that you find out who the killer is in the 1st episode then after that you can see all the connections the detectives can't.

I ended up watching the 1st 3 episodes back to back. This isn't a ground breaking show but I find myself investing in the characters.

I have to say - and it might be a guilty admission considering some of the other reviews - BUT I enjoyed this. It was entertainment. Lots of great Sydney scenery with sun and surf. It might not be the crime drama standard of Broadchurch but it keep me watching till the end. We know from the start who the killer is but I kept watching to see when they twigged that the killer was one of their own. I see from other reviews that some people don't like the romance aspect and I must admit it all picked up when it was just the chase for the serial killer. At one stage two of the main characters were discussing an engagement party while waiting for a loved one to identify a body. Like, really? I am sure real detectives can switch of their tumultuous love lives at such a moment. I thought the acting was great and the Hobbit guy played a creepy guy very well. Though he did seem to have a LOT of free time on his hands. I have a job where I have to be accountable for my time and can't leave for unexplained hours on end. But that is with the writers, not the actors. Another critique would be the murder sub plots separate from the serial killer plot were a bit simplistic. One more thing, I don't know where they filmed the inside of the police station but with the curved brick archways it looked like they must have grabbed some Sydney Greek restaurant on a quiet day!

Absolutely love this..... nice to see some of my favourite actors from home and away mafe good after leaving... as for the show its self very gritty so glad the uk can get it although im shocked the killer is identified in the first episode although i think its gonna have a major twist just watched ep 3 can't wait for next one

I found this show on the internet. It's from Australia. It's a cop show with a love triangle. It's got a variety of people bitten by sharks who cope with it. The cops solve murders while a serial killer lurks among them. I find it entertaining. If you want a decent fun show and a little escapism...this is it. 8.

Love this show, it's intense and the twists and turns have kept me glued to the TV
