I was mesmerized from the very first episode. Unlike the more feminist critics, I thought the male police officers in the first case did the best they could under the circumstances and fully understood their frustration. However, in a series produced by women they of course had to be down in a negative light.
I though the acting was terrific by all involved, mainly the two or three main protagonists. After coping with the initial surprise at how gaunt and hard Toni Colette looks now, I got into the spirit of the series and it had me spellbound to the end.
