I loved the opening scene in far north Queensland. Yes its a comedic exaggeration of reality, but it does show the beauty and the - possible - terror of that location.
It probably helps that I watched the first episode with very low expectations. The basic premise, criminal switches identity with priest, has been done many times before. Also, despite how funny Australians are, Australian comedies are often awful.
I wanted light entertainment, and thus far, Irrevent is just that.
Many familiar faces in the cast, and luckily none that elicit an "expletive no, not him/her again", reaction from me.
The lead actor I thought very good at playing a reprobate low level criminal with a handsome face. By that I mean his face doesn't work against the role. Pretty, is often pretty bland. Not this time.
So far, good, light, fun.
