Last Stop Larrimah was a truly engrossing doco featuring an intriguing murder mystery the epitome of the old saying 'the truth is stranger than fiction'. It had to be seen to be believed that such people and such towns exist on Earth and how such a tiny community of bizarre characters can devolve into a hopelessly tangled mess of spite and mistrust.
To so blatantly take myriad elements and weave them into a fictional series was a flawed concept from the get-go. If the producers loved the real life story so much then they'd be better to turn it into a dramatisation of events. Or alternately, employ a little more imagination and separation from their inspiration.
If you can make it past episode one then good luck. For what Population 11 is it's kinda watchable, but ultimately a pointless exercise. I'm as annoyed at whoever pitched the series as those equally lacking good judgement to green light it.
