Mystery Road - Origin
This prequel got off to a slow and lumbering start, it was just insufficient to start the show with "soap" like issues.
However, as the show progressed, at a very decided pace, it started to establish a crime and potential suspects, they couldn't help themselves with the woke inserts and predictable indigenous issues that lacked heft. We had some terrible stereotyping and really there was little new here.
Mark Coles Smith made a fine Jay Swan and he did look uncannily like a young Aaron Pedersen. Overall the acting was crisp but the story lacked narrative impetus, as this rate they would get through a couple of cases a year in this hick town.
I'm giving this a 6 outta 10 meaning worth watching but it could have been so much better!
