Hats on to the genius who created the annoying smashing drums motif throughout the first couple of episodes. Hopefully his/her music career in movies begins and ends here. Travis Fimmel brings star quality to a character quite unworthy of his talent. The only other actors not bringing a 'now I'm reading a script' performance are Brooke Satchwell, Anthony J Sharpe and Gulliver McGrath. This whodunnit show was definitely watchable but I found it necessary to suspend belief at the crummy acting so I could eventually find out who the murderer was. Unlike other series in this genre there were never any cliffhangers compelling the viewer to want more.... but hey I stuck with it till the end because of Cormack's intensely interesting back story.
