Not normally something I would have picked to watch but got sucked in after better half was about 10 minutes in.
Story is about people coming out of their graves. Fortunately they are in good condition and not zombie looking. The group that have come out range from a bushranger, WW1 soldier, Italian catholic housewife, and the deceased wife of the local cop who discovers the open graves. Some don't know how they died so there is some story line about their previous backgrounds. Some interesting twists.
Life gets a bit complicated for the cop as he has since re-married. He and local doctor trying to work out what has brought them back. Also some issues with fellow cops.
I found it interesting enough to be looking forward to next series.
Was produced by ABC Australia last year but Netflix now involved with series 2.

Same with mw, thought it was pretty well done with a couple of good plot twists, really looking forward to season II.
but it's amazing how dialects can be a problem, finally had to put onthe ENGLISH subtitles to catch all the local lingo!?!?!?!:redface2:

I had not heard of this series before, just came across it by accident on Netflix earlier today. I'm not into Zombie films and thought it would be rubbish but decided to check it out as there's so few Australian shows on Netflix. Wow, it really kept my interest with very convincing acting and characters. Watched all Season One episodes today, can't wait for Season 2.

I did wonder how popular it would be with foreign audiences. I was raised in a country town and found the dialogue very typical and not the usual overdone Australian dialect we hear in most films. Funny that Ray had to use subtitles, I have the same problem with New Zealand dialogue :wink2:

No, I can't speak Kiwi. And can rarely understand what's said on my favorite New Zealand TV show; Hunting Aotearoa Of course some of the following is in that strange Canadian tongue ^&grin
Thank you Matt, thought it might be time for a hearing test... it is a good show. So was it popular in Aus/NZ?

Hi Ray, Hunting Aotearoa is now in it's Eleventh season, it's broadcast free to air on Maori Television in New Zealand and on National Indigenous Television (NITV) in Australia. Most of the dialogue is in English but they include a lot of Maori language...without subtitles for some unknown reason. I'm not sure how popular it is in New Zealand. It isn't well known in Australia, mainly because it's televised on NITV which is a TV channel intended for Indigenous Australians (Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders) audiences. I enjoy the show but the vast majority of my friends have never heard of the show. Fishing shows are Very popular in Australia. However Guns/Hunting has a bit of a stigma because of our increasing urbanization and tough guns laws. We don't have your "Right to keep and bear arms" culture here which made it easier for the Australian government to introduce stricter gun control following several rampages by mentally unbalanced people.
