Stars: Ewen Leslie, Jessica De Gouw, James Cromwell, Tony Martin

The subject matter of atomic bomb testing in the Australian desert of Marilinga is of interest, but the tone set for the subject matter couldn't decide if it wanted to be a political mystery or a farce, and combining the two didn't even work as a dark comedy, but overall it dealt with important issues that resonate even today...

Season 1. After a poor and unconvincing beginning, and a few stumbling episodes, this series settles into a perfect rhythm as the characters fully flesh out with challenging topics that has your attention, all this in the last few episodes, and hopefully it continues on that note if it does go into season 2...
