The team that has produced this has done brilliantly. They are without doubt very talented and experienced and the takes on the stories are insightful in many ways, and for the most part extremely funny. I was wondering how they would get comedy out of these stories in some cases particularly the Tampa and that may be the exception that proves the rule. The dark aspects of that situation are for the most part well explained.

I was surprised there is no acknowledgement that the show at least appears to be strongly based on 'Stories from Norway' which was also brilliant and very similarly done and shown on SBS a year or two ago.

Clearly the stories have a political angle and the team seem to have trod the line there quite well considering Australia's recent and long running political divisions. How they got an interview with Ruddock in on Tampa given the (in my view quite correct) angle I'm not sure.
