I absolutely loved the movie Australia. 10 out of 10 stars, so I was intrigued to see the reimagining.
The added scenes are definitely interesting and I would absolutely recommend giving this series a watch. However, while it did give more depth to the characters, it removed a lot of the mystery that made the original movie so fun in unraveling.
The biggest letdown, however, is the score. While a few new aboriginal pieces and 'Waltzing Matilda' were fun additions, the general score is atrocious and a far cry from the original. The new music is so lacking, that it detracts from the emotions on the screen, while the original score had enhanced them.
This is definitely an interesting take, but don't expect the epic feel of the original movie. This just makes for a decent tv show.
