Human Error

Human Error is a compelling drama series that kept me hooked from the very first episode. The plot is well-crafted, blending suspense, intrigue, and emotional depth, making it easy to binge-watch. The actors delivered outstanding performances, each bringing their characters to life in a way that felt authentic and relatable. The pacing of the series is spot on, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger, leaving you eager for more. Overall, it's a well-executed series with strong character development and a gripping storyline that holds your attention throughout. Highly recommend!" Cannot wait for season two.

So I've came into this show after barely slogging through the first episode of a Scandinavian drama more dull than watching paint dry, and this was an Australian production so it looked bright and modern and there were beautiful city views that I'm not familiar with, and it looked so promising story-wise.

It wasn't. In any way that matters.

The story, the plot, the twists and turns of an exciting criminal investigation, all are nowhere to be found. The story developed like something you'd watch on TV news, but there's a way to make stories like this compelling. This show fails in that.

Another unbearable thing is the interpersonal relationship - it feels like the writers heard that people on crime TV shows converse about things other than work, and peppered the plot with unbearable, boring drivel that helped with nothing and had no relation to anything.

This show feels like it was written by a computer. The only saving grace is the lead actress, who tried to bring life into this flogged horse.

My advice, don't bother.

I remember this being announced back in 2022, and their was heaps of great actors attached to this and it sounded like an interesting series.

Channel 9 really should put more effort in every show they make, their last few really show. I mean I watched this from my motel room in Sweden and I thought it was a bit strange for it not to be shown in it's country of origin first? But oh well, great to see an Aussie show abroad!

The one highlight of this was seeing Leeanna Walsman on screen again, she was brilliant in this in her return to the small screen, given how heavy the dialogue in the script is, and spotting a great amount of familiar faces as well, that was great too!. Points go to the shots of the city and the cinematography.

If you love crime dramas this is for you. If you waited two years to watch this said crime drama, great patience, go gently into the series, with fresh eyes.

Was the two year wait for the show worth it? Yes and no, but mostly yes, since Leeanna holds her own very well and the support cast are quite good as well.

Right, it seems that Australians stick to the same formula with producing the same generic detective homicide show. Trying so hard to mimic American style shows but miserably fails! The lead character just doesn't carry the story and some awkward casting with supporting the cast. Just never drawn to any of the characters as they felt flat and manufactured. You could tell they were reciting lines!

Very frustrating to watch and very predictable stories. The cinematography was wonderful, I must say with great open shots. Overall this was a difficult series to watch let alone finish.

If you're looking for another generic police show! Watch NCIS Sydney!

I don't know why I actually sat through all six episodes of this show, with its endless plot twists held together by the finest thread, all with impeccable timing and implausible guesses that turned into leads, which then weren't leads after all. The only highlight for me was Steve Peacocke, the rest was utterly forgettable.
