If you are expecting an American style NCIS formatted series- don't.

Not sure if it's the general embarrassment over all the stereotypes (the characters and aussies).

There's no real charisma I this cast to carry the rest. Feels like cinematography tried to stay true to the formula but it is wasted on this show.

Plenty of pretty people and mysteries but it just felt like a B grade movie to me.

Too many of the characters annoyed me. Either trying to be "a socially challenged quirky computer genius" or "mysteriously miserable and grumpy forensic guy" or "Tough as nails hot boss chick" or "sexy black man agent" etc etc. Basically it's boring. All been done before.

If you forget the NCIS franchise exists and you like Australian stuff then you will probably be able to enjoy this.

Too slow to be that boring.

It's basically an episode of "Days of our lives" Aussie bush version.

Maybe this is a typical small Aussie bush town but damn did they have to live up to all out crappy stereotypes?! How embarrassing The alcoholism is at the centre. They'd have to all be drunk driving every day. Disgusting.

The cussing like it's normal. Classy.

Living in a town with so few people is asking for trouble. Not only are troubled people attracted to towns in the middle of nowhere but familiarity breeds contempt and it certainly did here. U won't like these "characters".

Xxx.xxxxxxzzzzzz.

What a wasted opportunity. I enjoyed so much of it but Lucas Black ruined it for me. His accent, due to the uniqueness of it, although real sounds so fake. Terribly made up and forced. It made for a really looooooong movie. He sounded strange in the American setting but in Tokyo- ridiculous. I'd buy it if he made up for it with his acting but to quote someone on reddit "has the charisma of a wet blanket". Nor was he hot enough to be a main character in this. He didn't interest me enough to make me root for him like the other movies in the franchise. Luckily there's plenty of other f&f movies to watch.

I was so on board for this and I wasn't disappointed.

How they didn't crack up half the time I'll never know. I cannot keep a straight face like that.

It was really well done and I love that Ronald keeps them on their toes. They could only plan so much as they would have to see how he reacted as they threw things at him. It was a fun ride.

They show how it was done at the end and I loved seeing all that.

Most of all I fell in love with Ronald as the episodes went on but I wondered if he was a plant too as he was proving over and over that he was a really good dude. Perhaps too good to be true. Although I'm sure he was coming up with "but wait how did they ______!" for weeks.

This series is just what I needed. I love a good mystery but I'm over the mostly tragic ones.

So I find this the balance of silly/funny and serious/professional perfect. I am a big fan of Bones and Castle which I've watched to death and was happy to discover this.

I find all the characters endearing. I'm a big fan of anything Skylar Astin (Todd) does. I am the age of the adult children and can definitely relate to Todd. My favourite is their mum, Margaret. She continuously surprises me and I thought those days had passed. When I think she's going to zig she zags and I love her more for it. Where most tropes involved in these kind of series would have this smart, gorgeous, confident, powerful woman only dictating to everyone while being totally out of touch with the world as her only areas of existence and knowledge are her professional life and being a mum. This character has tons more to her than that! She's a woman of power, influence and skill yet she genuinely cares for those around her and has humility. It's refreshing for the lawyer template. Watching her navigate her relationships with her adult children and adapting and learning in her parenting is sweet. I think different generations can get something out of it. I guess I just love that u can see these characters growing instead of being one dimensional.

I'm hoping it becomes super popular so they give us more.

From the first few minutes I knew I would love this show. Beautiful people, interesting story and fast paced action. I quickly fell in love with the characters although I couldn't trust any of them.

I enjoyed how promising it looked. Then the constant flash backs/forward got tiring and confusing. I knew from the beginning I'd have to concentrate but the back and forward weren't clear enough to be fun. I spent too much time trying to make sure I didn't miss anything it felt like work not entertainment.

I'm hoping I have taken in enough to follow the story and not waste my time because I love it.

WARNING: heavy on the suicide triggers!

This is NOT a romantic comedy as it seemed like from the trailer.

Or as u may expect from the lead actors histories.

Pete Davidson and Kaley Cuoco are some of my funny favourites but there wasn't any of that here. They can act- I'll give them that- but combined I thought it definitely would be funny.

I have depression which may taint my impressions and this movie was just dark and depressing to me. From the music to the settings to the storyline and the dialogue there was no levity just heaviness.

I see what they were trying to do but it didn't work from me.

I've tried to watch this several times but unfortunately I kept falling asleep so I've given up. I'm now using it as background noise when I do want to sleep...

I can't handle how slow "slow burn" movies are and how they don't sufficiently explain anything. I didn't know this was one of those movies and I tried to watch it. Halfway through I got bored. I like dialogue and clear revelations of the unknown all the way along. I read the reviews on here but I couldn't gauge wether it was worth watching to the end. Reviews were not making it sound worth it. I went to the internet and read the ending. I'm so glad I did because for me it wasn't worth it.

I didn't like the repetition in how it was told but it is a pretty basic story without it. I guess it was worth a shot but it's not for me.

It's hard to like many of the characters. The props and costumes were awesome.

I was looking for a new silly yet great comedy to make me laugh and this is it. It's weird, it's wacky and not so laden with drama it's depressing.

Brilliant casting for the alien.

I was very excited for this movie. It was slow in the beginning which I didn't mind as I figured it was building. However, for me it never built to anything worth writing home about. I watched on but I was bored so I vagued in and out and evidently missed the "great" bits hat tie it all together. Still don't know the whole story (came on here to find out) or why it was supposed to be so good.

It had potential to be as exciting as the trailer showed but I guess they chose to be more "arty" with it which I never enjoy so...

I found this series hilarious with crazy but loveable characters....except for one- Rory. This child character is demanding, bossy, dismissive, over the top dramatic, has an ego that knows no limit and all the characters pander to him as if he's being adorable or they're scared of him. This character spoils the series for me unfortunately.

The only people that should bother watching this movie are people who love this director.

It must be artsy or something because between the pace of the film (feels like it's going backwards at times), slow wit (so. Not. Funny) and terrible effects/editing etc I know I must be missing the point. It's not your average funny movie. So unless this sounds like your kind of movie skip it because it's waaay too long to just watch anyway.

Not a bad movie. I certainly love the actors. However, if the main character is going to run that much in a movie he should look like it comes naturally or like it would be effective. I burst into laughter every time Keanu was "running for his life" because watching him do so was so disjointed to the seriousness of the movie. Ruined it for me. Maybe he realised because I've not seen him do it in other movies.
