SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

sftrojan I really liked the show and followed it closely, maybe too closely. There were a lot of details that were either ignored or overlooked. Ex. In the final episode, a mob hitman is chasing the two protagonists with a large rifle with a huge silencer; however, when he discharged the weapon, the whole South Island if NZ could hear it!!

thegulls1 Yes, the South Koreans make the best mini-series these days, but the Aussies are pushing for a respectable 2nd place. Wanted is a great entry, in the 'innocent chicks on the run' genre, said chicks being Chelsea and Lola. Chelsea is young, tall & pretty, but awkward from a monied family. Lola is older & streetwise, with a murky past. Both end up at a murder scene at a bus stop (of all places) & get chased by bad guys and cops, with a bagful of money in tow.Chief bad guy is a crooked cop who must track the girls down & get the money to its intended recipient, a mysterious bad dude. This covers all of season 1 (6 episodes) and part of season 2, where the setting switches from the Australian outback to New Zealand. Scenery & acting is excellent. Our heroes experience several close calls (maybe a few too many), but those of us who grew up watching the old Buck Rogers space serials can forgive that. Finally, a watchable Aussie show! I was on the lookout for very salty language or explicit content (or discovering that the 2 protagonists have fallen in love... yech... kissing... underwear)... but nope... A few uncouth words here & there...but very little up towards, thank goodness. And... no: the story didn't suffer one bit. Compelling. Addictive. Start it on a weekend when you have time to binge. Season 3 to follow... I think.

johnvburke-86483 This is good stuff for dialog writing, acting, location work (Bangkok! New Zealand!). and two strong, appealing female leads whose growing friendship is a pleasure to see. That said, though, there are a couple of plot devices that I started to get tired of. One is the hairsbreadth escape: one of the leads is cornered, in an impossible situation, with a bad guy's gun pointed directly at her head, and poof! something intervenes just when all looks hopeless. This happens too many times to be believed; I'm willing to suspend disbelief but not hang it from the rafters. The second is the partners-almost-split-up scene: "That's it, you need to go on without me," yet every single time, they stick together. And finally, I think the writers went to the MacGuffin shelf too often: the pair are searching for a pile of cash, no, a stash of drugs, no, the car containing both, no, a safe deposit box key... I can see why something like this would have seemed like a handy way to keep the story line going, but it started to get tiresome for me.

justezenu I am loving Wanted.Rebecca Gibney, what a brilliant actress. Very natural and believable. She just gets better and better. I am enjoying her Character Lola. So different from anything Rebecca has done in the past. Great Aussie scenery. Great Aussie Talent. Geraldine Hakewill is also very good in her role along with Stephen Peacocke. I am enjoying every minute of these talented actors.The Aussie locations are great. I keep looking and wondering if I have been there before. Especially around tropical Queensland. Love it.
