Bay of Fires

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.

Well, Australia has some of the best tv shows this season. Totally Completely Fine, Deadloch , Black Snow, even Colin from Accounts.

This is entertaining, there is lots of mystery, especially involving all the sketchy residents of that tiny little village. I cannot wait to watch more episodes.

Tasmania is extremely beautiful in all its wilderness.

The acting is top notch.

I do not want to repeat other users ideas, so I am gonna say that I totally agree with storyteller99 and chxrlesy

I have a feeling that this will improve even more.

Just give it a try and be patient, especially if you liked the 4 tv shows I refer to at the start.

Loved the opening episode of this new Tassie series.

What a great mix of comedy and drama all filmed in beautiful locations.

Loved that there were familiar faces in interesting roles Marta Dusseldorp, Stephen Curry ( dodgiest real estate agent ever 😂), and Bob Anderson ( just to name a few) all ending up In small town Mystery Bay. Loved the depiction of small town life miles from anywhere- very real and accurate.

I can't wait to see how the story line and characters of Bay of Fires evolve. If all episodes were available I would binge them today. This is quirky Australian comedy drama at its best!

Watched Deadloch - loved it. I'm an Aussie living overseas so I watch most Aussie shows with promise.

This one definitely has promise but I think they sell themselves short by not including comedy in the description because it is damn funny. Looking forward to more.

We have a fairly high standard of what we watch very few US shows because they are either bad or very plastic and mass produced, complete with canned laughter. At least Australian shows (not the mainstream, soapy, ones) manage to avoid that and have a more UK sensibility about them (one of the few things to be thankful for with our association with the UK). Living in Canada with a Canadian and they were stuck with US shows in the most part.

Love to see Australia producing its own drama/comedy/mystery/whatever shows and feeling confidant for a change.
