A large and inevitable stepdown from Season One, more consciously offbeat in its performances and plot-twists yet still well capable of throwing laugh-out-loud punches. Alcock and Minchin jump headfirst back into their characters. The emotional arc is drawn freehand, wonky on painkillers.

A perfect series to represent Australia. Stunning outback cinematography. Bravura performances by Tim Minchin and Milly Alcock. Beyond the entwined character studies, the scripting and delivery ensure a cavalcade of laugh-out-loud moments that keeps on rolling even when the going gets serious.
