A super boring beautifully made Australian crime drama series highlighting (their) culture, the South Sea Islanders brought forcefully for labors in the 19th century and early 20th and chunks of their lives, young and old, in the 1990s and 25+ laters.
It is well-developed, laced with Valium screenplay and storyline plots in the span of 6 episodes, therefore more than dragging and fillers-full and could have been 2-3 episodes shorter, with much better plots, "arcs", pace, without that unneeded, unthrilling, terrible drum-like crazy percussive noise disguised as "musical" sound, more importantly brighter and especially sharper.
The acting though average to good, is nothing special, the flow, vibe and to some extents the logic are horrible and if you watch the first 2 episodes and then the last, you don't lose nearly nothing at all.
Beautifully made with important points, but sleep-inducing as a crime drama laced with mystery.
