Derivative, Wooden, Amateurish

Another embarrassing Aussie production trying to copy what everyone else does and ending up with a complete mess.

A clunky script, dull characters and completely derivative story combine to make this show not the Nordic Noir it wants to be but Tassie Try-hard!

It is over filtered and over styled, seemingly focused far more on how it looks (leading to some really bad calls on make up and costume..would Molly McGee really put heavy eyeliner on each day when she can barely get out of bed?)

Even the shots of the the ravishing scenery are somewhat ruined through the endless repetition of a snow capped Mount Wellington.

Yet another missed opportunity.

Stan have done some good Tv (Wolf Creek series one) but recent productions whilst well funded are totally missing the mark.

score /10
