    .. there's good.. very good.. and thank goodness..

    There's many shows try and make this formula work (comedy-crime-drama).. but it is really so..so hard to do well. For multiple reasons, this series is as good as it truly gets.. and the main cause is Geraldine Hakewill. She is the straw that subtly stirs the whole drink. I was led to this production by following the work of Rebecca Gibney (who's also fabulous in this series..as is the entire cast). And that's what good actors and their work are all about.. just keep following their efforts, and more times than not you will be justly rewarded. Few are anywhere near as good as this production.. let's all just keep hoping they continue on from here. By nature of the story-line this one could continue, but oh what a great ride it was for the time we were privileged to be viewing should it be decided to be the end.

    Thelma and Louise meets The Fugutive

    Superbly acted and written. Not your average cop drama. the plot changes every time you get up for a pint. Not a problem for the cast, which turns on a dime. Keeps the audience guessing, and engaged. Perfect for binge watching. Hard to put down. The only problem for American ears is that sometimes the Australian accents are hard to pick out from the background sound. Otherwise, a 10 out of 10.

    Great caper, comedic, thrilling engaging, if a little too contrived.

    A hugely enjoyable twist on a tried and tested old storyline of hapless innocents wandering into a heist plot with gangsters and bent cops. Better than expected. Yes the plot is daft and much of the on goings incredulous but the two lead actresses are good enough chemistry and subtle comedy with a warm relationship & some painful life truths to carry this through. Its an Australian "Thelma and Louise" meets "Home & Away" meets "it's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" The only complaint is some of the support acting is atypical B rate Australian soap, in fact almost all the support are dreadfully inept actors & that somewhat lets down the hard effort of the two leads & the writers

    Predictable but great fun. Just when you think its over, they're off again.

    Love This Show

    The two leads are just excellent, the way their friendship develops is beautiful. It bowls along at a terrific pace and amuses and delights all the way through. The supporting cast are very good and it's just really, really enjoyable, watch it, you won't regret it.

    Funny, fun and edge of your seat exciting.

    Just finished binge watching all 12 episodes over two and a half days.

    My only complaints are that it bordered on getting repetitive and I had to work at suspending belief when some near misses happened. On a couple occasions I said to myself, "they wouldn't be so stupid or let down their guard so much after going through all they went through."

    Perfect score for being so engaging. The timing on the humor is perfect. The scenery and cinematography outstanding. It made me laugh out loud and get teary eyed. It made me scream at the t.v. to warn them. There are plenty of twists and characters to love and to hate.

    So line up your snacks and start watching.
