I wish I could say more in support of this mystery series. In spite of a credible performance by Yael Stone in the lead, it left me cold. The characters lacked the richness and complexity that would have involved me emotionally, in spite of the plot having the potential to do so. I felt as if I was viewing the horrific events at an emotional distance, but unlike the gorgeous long shots of Bondi Beach, this didn't appear to be an artistic choice but a failure of pacing and writing.
I was disappointed to find that, as ever, a character who expresses an animal rights/welfare interest is one of the antagonists, in this case an accessory to murder. Until compassion and justice trumps corporate sponsorship, that's all we're going to see, I'm afraid.
