Troppo (2022)
Great series with a fatal flaw.
This is a really good series made average by having an American character in a lead role. Everything else about it is Australian. The storyline would make much more sense if the American character was Australian. It would be much more pleasant to watch too.
Other than that - good plot, good acting, good location.
If you like crime TV, you will like this. In particular hats off to Nicole Chamoun who conveys every emotion so perfectly. You could really feel the fear, the tension and all the rest with what she went through.
So with all that good stuff in there, the question still remains, why downgrade the series with that one fatal flaw?

Good Aussie humour.
I like Australian humour and watching Australian characters be Australian. This series had a good dose of both. Also a good plot and the acting was great. So were the sets. Only drawback was that the lead character was American. He was a great actor and he did his job well, but I just dont want to watch an American. There are plenty of other places inside and outside Australia that the character could have come from. Spoiler alert here - the series finishes with the Australian town earning income from the yank which puts the yank in a position of power and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Other than that it was quite enjoyable.
