Anyone keeping track of this FOX 8 series?

Some of the stuff is a bit too predictable...and some of the acting forgettable......but it's some pretty good fast paced action / drama.

The accents and comments used in this show are funny as hell....because that's exactly how I've heard guys in the 'similar' area of town speak.......

Still think Dean is pretty wooden and that Edgerton's hair is pretty 1965 though, despite tuning in religiously.

Anyways, discuss! (If anyone is watching it haha)

I keep intending to, but so far I've resisted the temptation. Brooke Satchwell's reason enough for me to take a look.

I've been watching
As you mentioned, some of the acting and dialogue are nothing to write home about, but it's watchable enough
Good to have a show set in Sydney as well

CW, Satchwell definitely is attractive but I never really understood her eyebrows...they're a little strange.....anyhow, Matt Newton is still definitely missing out!

They really must eliminate "Headcase" and "Mad b****" from the dialogue...those lines are awkard at the best of times in this show.

Those video diary scenes with Donna and Dean discussing the ram raiding / lifestyle are a little strange but are a great flashforward (if I can make up a word) giving you an insight into where the story eventually ends up.

Fox8 promoted it like they were pushing a public service. That was enough reason for me not to watch. Oh, and it looks terrible.

Drove me mad, every bloody ad break had a ad for it.

Enough to make sure I didn't watch it.

Looks like a rip off of Gone In 60 Seconds combined with The Fast And The Furious..

looks tacky and Joel Edgerton is in it, more than enough reason to stay away

I'll make this post extra long so that people who haven't seen the episode won't have it spoiled......since the replay is at 10:30 tonight.




















































EC totalled her car when being boxed in during a chase by the police......she ends up mangled lying dead after having gone through the windscreen onto the bonnet of her car. Dean and Donna drive past and the cops wave them on.....the way it was done was gold......I did not expect it whatsoever.....actually gonna miss the character as she added a cool element to the group...........from here on in all goes to hell, it sucks, I'm starting to warm to the group more than ever

I seriously don't understand what people expect from a low budget australian drama. It delivers an accurate perception of the difference between western/eastern sydney and so far the show has kept me interested enough to watch the following episodes.

Funny thing is that half the people in this thread haven't even watched it.

Last night's episode was well done, didn't see that coming AT ALL.

It doesn't claim to be something its not.....its locally produced drama on an average budget which is pretty entertaining.

I'm gonna miss EC, crap accent but good character - the tension between Dean and herself is gone leaving stuff with Donna to continue - although, it would be weird if he kept screwing her....the crap thing is, you get attached to the characters and now they're pretty much f'd.....Riz goes around shooting and stuff is generally going nuts....can't wait to see the riot scene next week though.....saw a bit of the filming preview on FOX 8 and the guys they used definitely fit the bill

Didn't like EC at all....This is a great show though which is pretty realistic as well...Can't wait until next week...

Anyone still watching? Second last show this week.....loved the cameo from EC - cute, but once again, her accent is crap!

Paul Pantano is doing a killer job as the 'Mediterranean' character.....he has everything down pat!
