I wasn't sure if this was a series I was going to enjoy and once I watched it, I found myself really loving it;.
The premise is a rather unusual one, a young woman inherits a house from her grandfather, the only thing is, it's near a cliff that people commit suicide off.
This is a series that studies grief, loss, guilt and relationships and how that can affect different people in different way. These are not easy characters. The lead character is a hot mess filled with guilt and grief. The two brothers have their own problems that also affect their lives and interactions with each other.
This is an intelligent and insightful look at how people do deal with loss. The characters are not pat likable people, but they are realistic and well fleshed out. They examine the difficulties of navigating everyday life while trying to figure out their own feeling.
This series does deal with the difficult subject of suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, marriage breakdown and mental illness and does so in a sensitive and realistic way. The scene of a mother grieving her son's suicide was painful to watch. This was a scene that got a little too real and it was both heartbreaking and brilliant at the same time as it didn't try to whitewash over the emotional scenes.
This is definitely one of the best things Australia has made in the last few years.
