Not realising it was Bullen, I found some of the dialogue quite clunky - sorry Mike. Watchable story, though, with fish-out-of-water London detective John Bradley lent to Sydney police force to investigate murder of politician Joanna Froggatt's daughter. (It turns out she is not her father's daughter but a politician's.)
Froggatt and Kirsty Sturgess as the resistant local detective are both a bit one-note for me, leaving Bradley to give us the humanity and likeableness. His major credit is in GOT. Think the only thing we've seen him in is The Railway Children Return.
'Would she make a good Prime Minister?' someone asks. Well she seems emotionless, lies, has had an affair, and makes a dodgy trade deal for her own ends. So, yes, she'd make a great Prime Minister.
The ending - with his wife turning up just as he's embarking on a relationship with her sister - is a classic 'watch season two'.
