Bay of Fires

Bay of Fires is a fresh take on the dramedy genre with moments of high tension as well as witty dialogue that leaves your stomach sore. Marta gives an incredible performance as the hapless Anika as she attempts to navigate family, moving house and murderous Russians. The rest of the cast look promising in their various roles as the quirky townsfolk of this curious town. Most notably Stephen Curry as the hilariously anxious real estate agent. The Tasmanian landscape is showcased in all its raw glory which, alongside the cinematography, makes for a beautiful watch. The first episode does well as an establisher, leaving many questions for the audience to keep them hanging on for episode two. I for one am excited to see what happens next.

Well, Australia has some of the best tv shows this season. Totally Completely Fine, Deadloch , Black Snow, even Colin from Accounts.

This is entertaining, there is lots of mystery, especially involving all the sketchy residents of that tiny little village. I cannot wait to watch more episodes.

Tasmania is extremely beautiful in all its wilderness.

The acting is top notch.

I do not want to repeat other users ideas, so I am gonna say that I totally agree with storyteller99 and chxrlesy

I have a feeling that this will improve even more.

Just give it a try and be patient, especially if you liked the 4 tv shows I refer to at the start.

Bay of Fires is one of the freshest, most exciting shows I've seen to date. One of my pet hates is being spoon-fed a plot, and Bay of Fires is the opposite! It has everything you want in a first episode - excitement, suspense and leaves you with questions you can't wait to be answered.

The characters are unique and played by some of Australia's best - Marta Dusseldorp in a way I've never seen her, Stephen Curry with mouselike trepidation, Pam Rabe and Roz Hammond in a duo so unique you can't tear your eyes away!

I hope people give this show a chance. It has all the elements of a classic Aussie comedy with the beauty of Tasmania as its backdrop. I can't wait to watch the rest!

Loved the opening episode of this new Tassie series.

What a great mix of comedy and drama all filmed in beautiful locations.

Loved that there were familiar faces in interesting roles Marta Dusseldorp, Stephen Curry ( dodgiest real estate agent ever 😂), and Bob Anderson ( just to name a few) all ending up In small town Mystery Bay. Loved the depiction of small town life miles from anywhere- very real and accurate.

I can't wait to see how the story line and characters of Bay of Fires evolve. If all episodes were available I would binge them today. This is quirky Australian comedy drama at its best!

I think a lot of people are completely missing the point of Bay of Fires. It is supposed to be a show that takes a family completely out of their comfort zone and drops them into a sinister village, in Tasmania, fully of quirky and mysterious characters.

The first couple of episodes are still introducing characters and setting up the situation. The cast is very strong, with some top performers, and they're all doing a great job so far.

The village is suitably grim and foreboding, the locations are really good and the cinematography captures the mode really well.

So ignore the negative reviews (written after ONE EPISODE, ridiculous, right?) and give it a chance.
