This series begins with an over narration by an Aboriginal girl. Sounds interesting and promising. Next thing you know you're watching sort of slapstick scored with awful wah wah wacky sound. It ruined the feeling of what I was hoping to be a big saga about Australia in the WWII era. The actors, Jackman and Kidman, over played it in a slapstick manner. I felt like I was watching Around the World in 80 Days. What a let down. I couldn't stomach it for more than twenty minutes. This is really too bad because it looked like the director had high production goals. No binge watching this series for me.
