While I usually enjoy most Aussie offerings, this series just felt 'flat' to me and I was glad when the first season ended. Having never seen Travis in anything before I can't judge if he can really act or not. Here he was not a believable character to me, nor were most of the other parts. Positives: no excessive smoking or swearing, nice scenery at times and lots of unconventional people participating in this show. Negatives: the overwhelming use of crappy music, the stiff acting by most (apart from a few of the younger ones), the convoluted main crime and too many aide stories, and far too many characters that felt hollow, and most irritating of all, dad the fanatically negative/religious pastor who saw evil in everything and all the time. It just came across as a hodgepodge of trying to cover so many issues with so many people. And it went on for far too long frankly. No thanks to watching season 2. I just didn't 'buy' into any of it really.
