(Personal thoughts and spoiler free review)
There’s so much to unpack, because it’s a great show but I have a bias towards it because it explores fatherhood, sibling care, dealing with heartbreak, being a working class man and just, navigating juggling all these different aspects of life- something a lot of people can relate to.
The through line of all of this is that the main character Ray (ex-military) is a hitman-for-hire. The show carefully curates how his experience and profression impacts his psycology juggling all these roles and it’s impactful nature on his social and interpersonal relations. It’s this tension that’s at the core of what makes this show amazing. Although the premise is simple, the show isn’t afraid to touch on sensitive topics (Drug use, violence, trafficking, suicide and much more), the writing handled all these issues with care. The closest show I can compare this to is Breaking Bad, but it’s shorter (3 seasons), just as impactful…and it’s unapologeticaly Australian.
