Irreverent

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I found it funny, quirky with dry humor. The actors are believable and entertaining. I do see that several reviewers do not agree with me but I see several do agree that it is a great series. Some people do not appreciate witty, dry humor. And for those that don't, I am sure this show is a disappointment. I found the location and scenery beautiful which made the show even more entertaining. I am glad that Peacock took a chance on producing this somewhat unusual series because it made a weekend of binge watching fun. I am hopefully for a second season because I enjoyed the show.

Small sample sun so far as the series isn't complete but here goes.

One reviewer mentioned a croc at the Gold Coast which didn't happen it was near Cairns in north QLD though the international flight did arrive at Gold Coast airport. Also it's nothing like Banshee Muriel's Wedding or other things mentioned.

So far over all it's not bad at all. Being an Australian it's a bit painful sitting through some of the exaggerated Australianism which are usually inserted in our export productions. People usually don't talk like that in reality but there are exceptions.

Enough other reviewers covered the plot story etc so I'll conclude with its light heated quite watchable despite the afore mentioned. Don't take it seriously and you just might be entertained.

Reminiscent of Lilllyhammer. Mafioso on witness protection takes over quirt Norwegian yown, populated by weirdos snd complete dummies. And vorrupts them in hilarious ways.

I have just started watching the series. As an Australian I am familiar with the image of quirky hillbillies that some movies pretend all Australians fit into. Not ttue ..... for most of us .... But ....

We have a breed of .... clumsy 'unpolished', unselfconsciosly semi-moronic hayseeds we call bogans. Many almost fit the characters in this production. To truly appreciate the humour of this program one needs to understand the often laconic, sometimes completely 'boof-headed', often self deprecatory style of Aussie humour. Some Yanks get it. Probably most don't. Americans tend to take themselves too seriously.

Okay I approached this with trepidation. Looked like a series trying to have more cliches than Crocodile Dundee. But surprisingly the more I got into it the less I thought of it as stereotypical Australian tv show. Yes the mob guys are a bit unrealistic, the original ex rev going Zumba is stupid, but the character development of the rest of the cast as it goes on is good and the scenery is great to watch. Worth more than the low ratings it has received. Overall it is worth a watch if looking for something to invest a bit of time in. With different characters it keeps it interesting and makes a nice change from the normal tv series.

Selfish guy on the run, lands in a lovely small coastal town (with spectacular views) and starts to care about the residents.

This is a great show, easy to watch that is funny, warm and very engaging because of the characters.

Every episode you learn more and more about the characters, ad it never really seems forced, but it does mean that every episode you feel a little more invested.

Its seemingly a dimple idea but they get a lot of plates spinning so its very bingeable as others have said. You want to know what each plate will do next but also there is a lot of heart.

Give this show a go, its free!
