    We gave the first episode a go tonight but didn’t make it past the introductory scenes of the NT cop. It seems like all the characters, barring the lead, are hyper caricatured for no reason. The lead ends up being some weird fish out of water, possibly meant to be a stand in for the audience, but it didn’t work for us. There were a couple of well crafted jokes in the bit we watched like ‘You’re going the wrong way’ but overall the cliche of ‘endearing dumb Aussie people’ characters detracted from what could have been an interesting show.
