Bali 2002

It was really quite confronting to see this tragedy re-enacted. The show is tasteful, showing actual footage while pairing it with the narrative of the storyline.

It was thought provoking and the cast have done a good job in portraying the chaos and trauma well.

Perhaps would have liked a bit more character development before the bombs went off as well as additional characters however looks it's been executed well.

Sadly user: "mkennedy-36926" has written a rather inflammatory and negative review. The fact this person hasn't got a basic grasp of the English language when it comes to spelling or grammar shows their absolute lack of intellect.

For anyone who is not Australian, factual accuracy is much less important than emotion, timing, flow, direction, acting, photography, music and the overall experience of watching 4 episodes glued to your seat. It is one of the most perfectly crafted and moving miniseries i have ever seen. I'm sorry if the player is bald or has a blond mane, or if the doctor was taken care of by the wardrobe department. What matters is the respect, lack of exaggeration and realism with which such horrible event is treated by the filmmakers. I was entertained and movedinequal measure, so kudos to the filmmakers. For me it's a perfect 10.

I Feel this closely mirrors the true story.

It was gripping and really quite emotional.

Anyone else here who is old enough to really remember this awful but important tragic event as if it was yesterday, will feel as I do and that is how important it is to remind people of what happened and how many people lost their lives and those who lost loved ones.

I felt most actors gave a really great performance or job of portraying the real life characters and a few really stood out for me personally, they were Sean Keenan, Claudia Jessie and Saskia Archer.

It's definitely worth the watch, nobody can try replicate a true life tragedy, but I feel this was close enough.

I wasn't paying attention to the news when this happened, so this was interesting because I didn't know too much about it. The series did a good job of showing the shock and chaos of those first few hours. I liked how they worked with the timelines and interspersing some original footage. The show was well done, it wasn't emotionally manipulative, but very real. (Although I did fast forward through a few bits that were too tragic). I liked that it touched on the practical details of how to handle a disaster like this, both politically and medically.

What an incredible job the AFP did afterwards, in such difficult circumstances.

This limited series was so respectfully and delicately put together I was so impressed, I feel they really did the victims of this horrible event justice. I hope they feel the same. The acting was so genuine and real that it broke my heart into pieces.

We have to talk about the actress Sri Ayu Jati Kartika who plays Luh. She embodied the unified broken hearts of the Bali people when the Bali bombings happened and how hard this was for them. My heart broke all over again and ached the whole time watching this through to the very end. Not just the victims of the bombing but the Bali people and everyone affected. This actress was so good I can't believe IMDB haven't even pictured her in here yet. She is brilliant. Her tears flowed so freely I wanted to break through the screen and give the poor woman a hug. So broken hearted. She truely embodied the worlds sentiment of such a horrid event.

Richard Roxburgh and Srisacd Sacdpraseuth and their performances to show the working bond between the two countries was beautifully delicate like a dance. So well done. These men behaved so amicably, if only the men at the top behaved this way!!!

Well done channel nine and Stan for putting this together it was beautiful.
