The land grabs threaten to destroy the declining dynasty

Synopsis

When the massive Lawson cattle station lacks an heir, Australia’s rival factions see a chance to seize control. The series was filmed across the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they’re barely inhabited – let alone shown on-screen. Locations include the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park – with special permission from the Traditional Owners – and Tipperary Station, a real-life, working cattle station that’s so large it has its own airfield and school..

Which could make for a lovely scenic drama

There are shows you start watching and have high hopes for. This show is about a family owning a very large amount of land in the outback of Oz. The land and it’s charisma is unfortunately ruined by extremely poor script writing.

There’s way too much crime and drama happening, which again is poorly written

It’s very over dramatic, has characters that are borderline caricatures and there’s way too much totally unbelievable stuff happening. While as a viewer you want to be swept up by a story about a family that has characters with depth and complexity. They try that but the characters fail to form a family you engage with.

There is a foundation with the scenery and a good cast they can build on

Apparently people just constantly shoot, rob and hurt each other in the big land down under. So I really wanted to like this, but the writers made this a second rate crime show that despite some great actors doesn’t deserve a high rating. I will however have hope for a second season if they dial the drama and violence back a lot, and let some intelligent people do the writing.

But that’s it
