It's started off okay and then unfortunately went a bit far-fetched. It is interesting if you live in Brisbane to see and hear place names of the city, but really, the nostalgia only takes this show so far. Many of the scenes were unrealistic and far-fetched, especially the fight scene, the ex convict comes to save the family from Teddy, he just comes out of nowhere. The overdramatised clocktower scene at the end was way too much for me, and Eli breaking into the prison to see his mother on Christmas day was way far-fetched.
Simon Baker was good in this and the young Eli was a brilliant actor, but I really didn't enjoy the series much at all.
