Superb show. I have just watched Season 1 - a complex plot which gets more and more intriguing as the episodes unfold. Acting performances are wonderful and the portrait of outback life is ery realistic. The musical score is another joy - sets the mood perfectly and I found myself scanning credits at the end of each eppisode to try to work out how to hear it again.
