I'm an avid watcher of crime series from anywhere in the world and always give an Australian show a good chance, but this show is terrible. It reminded me of Crawford's Homicide from the 50s - corny script, wooden acting esp Rachel Griffiths who looks ill at ease in such a mediocre show considering her acting credentials. Justine Clarke easily steals the show in her portrayal of a modern-day bimbo , so against her usual goody-two shoes parts.

This is really bad. It just doesn't add up. Why did the female police constable think she had done something wrong, when attempting to help someone being threatened with a gun. The foreign actors were so bad, all of them. The play school scriptwriters could have done better.

For the best part of 5 years, I watched all of the really good Australian shows, Rake, Janet king, Wanted, Jack Irish, Doctor, Doctor, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, etc. Now in one fell swoop, with the screening of 'Dead Lucky, all the previous good work has been wasted.. 'Dead Lucky' is intended to tick all of the boxes for it identified viewers, the liberal cultural apologists, to ensure they don't feel neglected. The screenplay on one episode I watched was woeful, the characters had no credibility or substance in any of the various groups included, and the acting was, at best, wooden, and at worse, painful to watch. This show is something that the BBC or Sky would produce and screen - I had firmly believed that the Australian producers held themselves aloof from the nauseating cultural pandering. There is no opportunity to rate this as 0/10, yet that would be a fair rating.
I shall continue to watch the tried and tested programmes, but will be increasingly wary of new shows.

Exiting TV, .... if you are younger than fourteen! Or when your IQ is lower than 85, which correlates quite nicely with that age by the way....Uncreative, slow paced, uninteresting, flat characters, nothing special happening, good lord, how do these infantile projects get funded? Two words; avoid, plaque.
