Really enjoying it so far... Some good twists.
Watched episode 3 last night and there was a proper LOL moment.

Yes, we've been watching it. There are a few characters doing "too much acting" and there's a lot of unsubtle signposting which makes it look a bit amateur at times but if you can get over that it's quite jolly.

Only on episode 2 but its quite enjoyable. The waitress doesn't exactly offend my eyes, which helps. Had an enjoyable debate with my missus about whether it would still count as cheating if I had no memory of even having a partner... 😛

Yep, fairly watchable with some twists...we're watching an episode a night and have watch our third. The cowboy gangster chap is a good psycho character. Waiting for Ethan (cop's fiancé) to get some karma. We did think that the minor supporting Australian characters have really been played up to Australian stereotypies but, then again, we havent been to Australia so maybe its accurate!

Watched episode 3 last night and there was a proper LOL moment.

Erm, trying to think what that would be

No spoilers but I lost interest after episode 4 when it all gets trippy.

Well, whoever wrote it is a Coen fan but not quite pulling it off.

The copper's overacting has subsided a bit, which ....makes it....less painful.

The plot is also getting a bit.....eh. Up to episode 3 or 4.

I finished it off last night and the above two posts are spot on.

You need to drop a tab to 'get' ep 5. And yep, a less 'together' attempt at Fargo.

I won't spoil it for anyone.

I'm nearly 60 and preferred Worzel 😀

Finished it last night. Quite bonkers overall, not sure if I would class it as 'good' but I did enjoy it.

I am on episode two, it is getting sillier. For a start, he is clearly not local, why did the Aussie police not immediately check passport pics of anybody who entered the country on UK passport and hasn't left, from Northern Ireland?

Watched episode 3 last night . Really enjoying it as a kind of black comedy . If you want to you can pick holes in every aspect of it but I don't think that it is trying to take itself seriously .

Just done episode 3 and really enjoying it so far - it's different with some subtle funny bits. Having read the comments above I'm not feeling confident about episodes 4/5!
I'm guessing it was made on a low budget but I dont think that's spoilt it.

No.... The shootout with the deaf guy having no idea what was going on right behind him while watching TV.
Made me laugh anyway 😉

I'm enjoying it for what it is and not thinking too deeply about it. Quirky and amusing. I've watched the first 4.

Finished watching it last night. Excellent - really enjoyed it. They mystery aspect kept me guessing throughout, and the comedy was spot-on.

We did think that the minor supporting Australian characters have really been played up to Australian stereotypies but, then again, we havent been to Australia so maybe its accurate!

It is accurate.

Have had many encounters similar to the "but how does signing for the key make sure I'll bring it back?"

We finished it last night. Gets s bit crazy but I really enjoyed it.

Some good twists, funny moments and I didn't know what to feel about different characters in the end.

Yeah you can pick massive holes in it, but who cares. It was good telly.

I thought the comedy moment was the "well well well" comment?

We've just watched 3 & 4. Seems ok so far.
