Bay of Fires

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!

It's so great to see the magnificence of western Tassie in this dark and quirky new series. And that's before the story even gets started!

Setting the audience up with all sorts of curious plot and sub plots, I'm looking forward to seeing how this series unfurls. I think if I was to watch the show a few times, I might discover new things every time. Jam packed with content and some great one liners.

A terrific collection of Australian actors too with a clear investment in local talent. This above anything else is to be commended. And thanks for making it feel very Tasmanian too...

Roll on Episode 2!

Loved the first episode. Unexpected twists and turns left me wanting more, much more. An eclectic group of small town characters promise to develop in ways we can only speculate about for the moment. Hints of corporate corruption and serious criminal activity dangle tantalisingly for future episodes. Small town Australia (specifically Tasmania), has never looked so dark, compelling, feral, terrifying and intriguing as the tightly written script unfolds. The central character played by Marta Dusseldorp shows believable emotion as her seemingly cosy corporate world is upended in an instant...the feeling of being on a runaway train to an uncertain and dangerous future prevails. Can't wait for episode two.

Bay of Fires is proving to be everything l wanted and more - Tasmania looks amazing, the suspense has me on the edge of my seat, the characterisation is quirky and I want to know them more, and it's a total escape from my reality.

I love seeing Tasmania on screen and I've never seen Queenstown look so good!

Tasmania has featured a fair bit recently in Australian productions and Bay of Fires brings a fresh approach - all small town, but so much more. It's a bit tongue in cheek which makes for a nice juxtaposition with the underlying mystery.

While we're only at the beginning, I'm excited to watch the rest of the show and see the mystery unfold.

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.
