The Gloaming

I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Gloaming. The slow burn and cinematic landscapes set the atmosphere so wonderfully and pulled the watcher in seamlessly. The onscreen presence of Emma Booth as Molly McGee and her chemistry with Ewen Leslie as Alex O'Connell along with a character filled support cast simply made this series. I love that the series was unashamedly Australian, it makes me want to visit Tasmania now more than ever. I look forward to seeing if there is a second series. We need more quality TV like this!

....but I don't know what the heck is going on. I'll give it a few more episodes with something better happen!

It's a good watch. The style and some other elements borrows heavily from True Detective Season One. I would have given it a 7 or 8 except for one thing, one of the central villains a Scottish Australian is played by a New Zealand Maori with a thick NZ accent. This is utterly ridiculous considering she's supposed to be a 5th generation Australian descended from Scottish convicts.

So enjoyed this first series and hoping for a second ! Loved the scandi noir feeling of the storytelling and cinematography. Terrific characters and very unsettling. Really enjoyed this one !

The landscape of Tasmania and mood of the show is pretty good, overall the storyline was okay but the acting was beyond awful. So cringeworthy! Had such potential but overall the script and acting really let the team down.
