7/10
Oh Dear.

Lots of ambition, lots of production skills but Australian drama often falls flat due to weak scripting. In this case, just inconsistent. It actually became quite addictive, but the last two episodes were quite laughable. Riddled with holes, implausible, a lot of effort let down by a weak script. The two leads put in big efforts but their characters were built on too many cliches or just silly assumptions. Thomas Jane did seem a bit B grade and Nicole Chamoun, although amazingly striking on screen, just didn't have the grit to pull off that character. What she needs now is a character she can actually inhabit because she has so much potential. OK, that's it, nice try but very flawed. P. S. Trying to pass off Gold Coast as FNQ just cant work unless you make it seem really hot and sweaty - so you need to spray all the actors to look sweaty.
