Steve and Sarah travel to the outback to spend holiday time with their friends Brad and Louise. It isn't long before secrets and lies ruin the break, but worse for them, a wildfire threatens their very lives.
It's better than you may think, and come on, why are people reviewing a series based on 20 minutes of one episode, that's unfair.
Channel five advertised this very heavily, clearly a bigger budget than the usual C5 dramas, and of course notable for being Danny Dyer's first series post EastEnders.
If I'm being honest, I'd say it's a decent watch, I was expecting something big and bold, and it has its moments, but you have to wait for things to kick off. Episodes one, two and three are all solid, but all are fairly restrained, you have to wait until the concluding episode for things to kick off.
It's very well shot, it looks great, the filming crew made perfect use of the stunning location, some scenes are incredible.
Talk about relevant for the current time, record temperatures, bush fires proving to be a massive threat. I'm unsure if they used historical footage or CGI, but the disaster scenes looked realistic.
I like Danny Dyer, and I think that he does a pretty good job, I don't think you'd say he's centre stage here, Darren McMullen is essentially the main player, he stood out for me.
It's not brilliant, but compared to a lot of what's out there, it wasn't bad.
6/10.
