The acting from the main characters is ok but not so good from the rest, Danny Dyer looks like he's walked out of the Queen vic straight into the Australian bush, playing exactly the same character.
The story is old and predictable and been done many times and done much better than this.
Matia Marks who plays the 17yr old daughter isn't too bad apart from looking 27 and not 17.
Some really good shows have come out of Australia lately but this isn't one of them as it's slipped back to their cut aways where the characters are either in slow motion, sitting thinking or hugging and a singer performing a horrible pointless ballad, this happens far too often and was very common in Australian shows in the past.
The fire scenes are also pretty poor and just don't look real, they look like what they really are which is little controlled fires dotted around the bush, the house fire doesn't look real also.
We watched every episode to give it a chance but on reflection we feel we wasted 4hrs of our lives and we where very disappointed.
