After episode 4, it started to get really stupid...(SPOILERS)

Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this series and I'm glad it was made, but there were some strange choices made by the writing department after episode 4.

So there's the escaped convict bikie, he gets picked up by some guys and taken to the town of Rome that Eve happens to be in. The problem here is that she has a whole new identity there, a job, everyone knows her in the town and she even has a best friend that wants her to be a bridesmaid/maid of honour at her wedding. That whole scenario makes it seems like she's been there for a while, weeks or even months. Yet the escaped convict guy is still wandering around in the outback with a bloody bandage on his arm. So they're implying that he's just been wandering around in the Australia Outback with a serious injury for at least a few weeks. That is absolutely ridiculous. A huge mistake by the writing department.

Later on, our favourite cop turns up to save the day and Eve says "Why are you doing this for me?", stupid girl, it's not just for you, he's trying to take down one of the biggest serial killers of all time.
Anyway, so this genius cop decides to go straight for Mick, walking right towards a truck with it's lights on, and then he ends up getting stabbed. Yep, that's what happens when you're an idiot, it was either get stabbed from behind or get run over, those were his 2 options at that point.

Then there was the whole scene with the bikers, where nobody knew how to aim a gun properly and Eve ends up saved at the very last second, that was a bit of a lame cliched moment.
Then escaped convict biker guy tries to get lucky with Eve, and he almost does, but she turns him down and decides to take some painkillers instead. I know it was an old habit of hers, but she'd been fighting it so well and she just happened to relapse at pretty much the worst possible time. Mick came and visited her that night, she's damn lucky he decided to play games with her instead of grabbing her and stringing her up.

That was all just episode 5, don't even get me started on the problems in episode 6.


But overall, still a fairly solid show, the writers just dropped the ball on a few things. Most of the acting was pretty well done, although there were a few performances that were absolutely cringeworthy, just fortunately not from the main stars of the show. The cinematography was phenomenal. The soundtrack was gripping and intense.
A strong and well earned 7/10 from me.
