The land grab threatens to destroy the crumbling dynasty
Story
When the massive Lawson breeding station goes undercover, rival Australian factions see an opportunity to seize control. The series was filmed in the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they are barely inhabited – let alone shown on screen.
This show is full of incredible talent and the backdrop is beautiful
Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the Traditional Owners – and Tipperary Station, a real, working breeding station that is so large it has its own airport and school. The storyline is believable and easy to follow, but the characters are hard to like.
It was simply hard to root for anyone
It wasn’t until Episode 5 that any of them showed any signs of redemption. The whole premise of the show is tragedy after tragedy.
Episode 5 brings a reunion of sorts, and then boom
more tragedy. There are only 6 episodes and maybe episode 6 is the thing that ties it all together but honestly I was so depressed after the first 5 episodes that I couldn’t take any more.
There’s such a huge imbalance between hope and despair
It wasn’t enjoyable for me to watch at all. I lasted this long because I am a big fan of some of the actors and actresses.
