The land grab threatens to destroy the fading dynasty
Chronology
When the vast Lawson cattle station has no heir, rival factions in Australia see a chance to take control. The series was filmed throughout the Northern Territory and South Australia in locations so remote they are barely inhabited, let alone shown on screen.
This show is full of amazing talent and the backdrop is beautiful
Filming locations include Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with special permission from the traditional owners, and Tipperary Station, an actual cattle station so large it has its own airfield and school. The plot is believable and easy to follow, but the characters are hard to love.
It was so hard to root for someone
It wasn’t until episode 5 that either of them showed signs of redemption. The whole premise of the show is tragedy after tragedy.
There is such an imbalance between hope and despair
Episode 5 brings a reunion of sorts and then bam… more tragedy. There are 6 episodes in total, and maybe episode 6 is the one that ties it all together, but to be honest, I was so depressed after the first 5 episodes that I couldn’t take it anymore.
It was not a pleasant viewing for me
I put up with it as long as I could, just because I’m a big fan of some actors and actresses.
