When you consider how excellent the best of television is now, it's nothing short of shameful that Australian TV drama has, for the most part, not improved much since the 1980s. Sadly, Dead Lucky isn't even at good as the best of 80s Aussie drama. A tired, lazy concept (headstrong, combative detective... etc), unrealistic storyline, one-dimensional characters, woeful dialogue, creaky acting, bad accents... and so on. Normally capable actors like Simon Burke and Justine Clark come out looking as though they've just graduated from amateur rep. The colour palette and shooting style even manages to make Sydney look downright ugly. Rachel Griffiths is presumably there to add some star quality, but her heart doesn't seem to be in it. She clearly knows she's fighting a losing battle. Why, SBS? Why?
score 2/10
