Jun 14, 2025I would have given it at least 2 stars if it was not such a blatant one-sided story advocating for the so-called "refugees"!! The story is so weird and pathetic too. The script has absolutely no logic whatsoever. Waste your time watching it if you want to see a badly written political agenda kind of a story!

Mar 19, 2024This series is packed full of drama, emotion and empathy. Makes me realise what life is truly like and there but the grace of God go I. Such important television - this is a phenomenal show and I'd undoubtedly recommend it.

Mar 19, 2024It's really disheartening to see bad reviews here based on personal politics - if you are that hung up on Australia's immigration policy then why would you even watch this show? Personally I think the cinematography is great, excellent cast and acting (I grew up in that neck of the woods and found it completely accurate), and the general plot so far shows both viewpoints, not the left wing propoganda that some reviewers seem to indicate. My whole family sits down to watch it, and so far we all love it. Don't be put off by rabid narrow minded reviews

Mar 19, 2024I believe that Yvonne Strahovski is a great actress who needs to be in spotlight but her character here was a bit annoying. Asher Keddie was a big surprise for me she should get more roles. The story itself is too slow-paced and it would have been enough if they made a movie off this story.
