Steve A Really Like this Show...Quite Good! :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Mollie B I loved this mini series. Great characters! Fresh take on some stories. So sad they did not continue. Joseph Millson was exceptional! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Wendy V Great cast. Great filming. Great concept. Poorly written and boring story line. So much to work with but just badly written. This period of Australian history is well worth a series that last a dozen seasons. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Engaging series. The founding of Australia as a penal colony is fertile ground for drama but the series goes deeper than that. It delves into the mindsets of these various characters, their motivations and beliefs and why they behave the way they do. You feel you can understand everyone even when you completely disagree with their actions. The only downside is the series was left unfinished. It definitely deserves a second season which it never got. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Good performances, balanced viewpoints.
