Wolf Creek

Kept me on the edge of my seat! I got frightened, sad , and angry! I mean kill this dude already! I'm never going to Australia!

Why people would write a negative review about this mini series is a mystery to me. I truly enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. Especially the performance from John Jarratt playing the villain Mick Taylor. To me he's the absolute star of Wolf Creek. With his sadistic laughter and his crazy personality he's the guy you hope you'll never cross on a desert highway in the outback. The rest of the cast was also good with their respective performances. All the characters are fun to watch, so I really don't get why people aren't satisfied with the story. Because the story is everything you ask for when you watch a horror series like this one. The only critic I would have is that it is very unlikely to find people that don't want to be found in the outback. And most of the characters cross paths all the time. But then again if they wouldn't you would not have a decent story. The filming is excellent, especially with the great nature shots. I hope there will be another season.

Series 1 got off to a great start but then it was just...meh. A fairly uninspiring female lead, incompetent police, completely unrealistic scenarios, a cast of walking cliches. Has its moments but overall, pretty disappointing.

Series 2 I really liked. A diverse cast of characters, some humour, and much more Mick Taylor.

I'm hoping Season 3 will maintain the quality of season 2 or improve on it.

The first season was vintage Mick and could not have been improved upon much. I watched all 6 episodes on one day. Watch it, highly recommended.

The second season's victims were plagued by dumb dialogue and idiotic behaviour. The worst were the asinine arguments they had with each other. The entire cast was unlikeable and the only one I may have wanted to know more about was killed in the second episode, as was the one I saw as the reluctant but ultimately capeable leader. With noone left to root for it was difficult to get motivated and watch this. Mick couldn't shine much because his opponents were all but handing themselves to him. On a positive side, it made me look for Men at Work - Down Under.

I hope there'll be more seasons as long as they are like season one, and season 2 is only used to showcase what not to do. And forget the lame attempts at magic. Mick is terrifying because he is rooted in reality and one could run into someone like him any day.

I'm a fan of Wolf Creek films, I just watched the show released in 2016 with only 2 seasons and 12 episodes and also with the same killer. The first season is surprising, amazing and beautifully shot. I have to admit it's better than the first film. It has a new great characters added, cinematography and style. John Jarratt as Mick wasn't a big part of the first season, but damn, he is just crazy like no one else. He looks like a real killer and he was still brilliant. I believe he's considered one of the most realistic villains in horror films ever written. Lucy Fry played as the main character/blonde girl, she begins a journey to hunt down Mick to bring him to justice after killing her family. I thought she did a bloody good job, she was excellent in it.

Now about the 2nd season, it's quite different from the first season like it's an anthology series. This season has interesting ideas, good ending, more Mick and violence. I find it quite good, but compared to Season 1, it's trash. Most of the characters were just plain dumb, Mick was only one fun character to watch and that's it. But this show have some fans who think the second season is better than the first season.

I'm surprised nobody has heard about this show, it's very enjoyable and underrated show. I've also heard there is going to be Wolf Creek 3, but I don't know it will happen for real or just planned. If you haven't seen the films, then watch the films first. I really enjoyed the entire show.
