"Stoked to have chanced upon this dramatic series set in an 80s broadcast Australian newsroom. Sam Reid and Anna Torv deliver stellar performances, though there are some break-out supporting performances as well in season 1. Not sure when season 2 will be available to view in the States but I look forward to watching it — and any others to follow. Intelligent, nuanced, and features a flawless soundtrack. Bravo! 👏 "

"Updated after finishing the final season: Stellar performance by Sam Reid and Anna Torv. This is the second role I've seen them both in, and they're 2 for 2. Overall, loved the characters and the progression of their stories. However, I feel like Dale's story at the end was rushed and almost non-resolute, whereas we really had the chance to find closure with Helen. Despite this, the series as a whole was well done, emotional, and worthy of praise for many things."
