The directing, writing, and casting have managed to put on one of the worst displays of incompetence in Australian TV history, and some poor sap paid them. How on Earth did they get some returning talent from the 1992 movie and still stuff it up this bad.
I'm not sure I can blame the actors, although they certainly don't do anything astounding, and seem ill-fitted and awkward in their roles.
Unfortunately, these guys are piggy backing on the iconic movie Romper Stomper (1992). Without the name, I doubt they would even get funding. This is an insult to Australian TV.
The scenarios are unbelievable. Both too tame with the language, and too extreme with the amateur hour violence. The casting is also absolute rubbish. Highlighting this is the pairing of Blake with Zoe.
I'm 24 minutes into episode one, and about to turn it off. After 38 years on this planet, this is the first time a TV series has prompted me to sign up to IMDB and write a review.
* Edit * upgraded to 4 stars. I kept at it and finished the series. The show picked up at around episode 4. The scenarios and dialogue are still complete rubbish, but at least the overall story got better.
The ending, however, is abrupt and disappointing, and it feels like some story lines were not followed through. It makes you wonder why they were ever included in the show.
