MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

theenergizerbunny I was completely engulfed during each episode. Definitely a travesty that they did not continue this series. The casting, acting, and story line was spot on.

sonolite-97752 This is a period piece that takes place in 1800 Australia. Filmed on location, the setting is beautiful. If you haven't been to Australia this gives you a chance to enjoy this beautiful continent... The story is pure enjoyment...Up there with The Boardwalk Empire, Rome and a few others... the acting is great, the writers are fantastic! It is easy to buy into the story and you are gone on a wonderful vacation from reality....and isn't that the best in entertainment? I just discovered it...just finished it..and then found out there is not to be a second series...However, the story has a natural ending even through there is much more that could be done with such a script. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

srhballard As a person who was born in Australia and spent all of my life here, all I have to say is that we should be ashamed of not supporting the first drama depicting colonization that even rates a mention. Even though indigenous Australians were not depicted in the first season, i'm sure they would have been included in the seasons to follow, if not I may have lost interest in this TV series but it was barely given a chance. One season is surely not enough time to introduce a foreign people the main characters know little about if you want to focus on their stories. This show was the first chance for the story of Australia to become known to the rest of the world, and now we will never know what the impact of that would have been.

sue-payne I absolutely loved this and by the final episode the tension was unbearable because these were characters I really got involved with. The drama was clever in showing that most characters had good and bad sides. Major Ross - the "villain" was ruthless but clearly had a softer side (and was gorgeous too in my opinion!). Such an interesting character and a great performance by Joseph Millson. Julian Rhind-Tutt, who I've always thought of as a wimpy sort of man, was a revelation here as tough convict Tommy and the love between him and his woman in this was heartbreakingly real. Their friendship with Russell Tovey's character was brilliantly played. So many great performances, too many to mention. An excellent drama, best thing on TV for a while. The emotions in the finale were almost too much to bear.
