Did you people see the same film I saw?

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is the first Australian TV show i have watched (regularly watch Amercian and British productions) and in my opinion this is on par with some of the better ones put forward by the aforementioned countries. The two seasons released to date have it all ( action, good character development, romance, drama). Acting in my opinion by all the actors was top class. The characters were absolutely brilliant and multidimensional. No doubt in my mind about the 10/10 rating for this show

I gave this a 2 because I could not sit thru all the episodes without throwing up so I jumped 3,4 and 5 and went straight to six. Seems like it was a great decision. I know the OUTBACK, been there a lot and I know Australia - 30 years of my life was spent there and it is astonishing to me that the clichés never stop coming from down under. What possesses the government funded film body to continue to support repetitive garbage like this. The only saving graces in this film are the occasional well acted moments which I have to say is all on the actors because the script is a disaster, and the occasional glimpse of a great natural wonderland. Neither of these attributes accounts for the dismal production and the downright pathetic naiveté of the plot. When will Australian film and TV finally mature beyond these mass oriented offerings that allow soap packages to advertise themselves. Integrity seems to be a foreign word down under. One of the really annoying aspects of this plot is the continued dumb mentality that all in government are bad and that the few low life individuals are the bastion of what is moral and correct. That is the 99% madness that gripped the bottom feeders in the US a few years ago. That is not a very imaginative mindset and one that is so far from the truth that it can only be regarded as liberal propaganda and that term 'liberal' is meant in the US sense. Australia should seriously consider renaming its political parties to be in line with the rest of the world. The Australian Liberal Party is NOT "liberal" but Labour certainly is. Conservative versus liberal or democratic - get the message people. OK Back to this waste off celluloid shot on whatever 4k digital and who cares anyway, the technology is not the point the theater is and this theatrical non-entity should never have passed the first reading which asks the BIG question , HOW DID IT? Someone is to blame and I bet they are all hiding in their collective toilets after this release. To Australians who though this was great view, what can I say. Yikes. Come on Australia, please please please GROW THE FRACK UP!

Like many Australians I have been let down by the calibre of television in this country. Never did I think I would award 10 stars to an Australian show. That was under I started "The Code". I didn't expect much from this show, in fact I thought a "Samson & Delilah" esque plot would evolve from the synopsis. How wrong I was. There are several plot lines running concurrently. One is set in the bush in a remote town where Alex (a VERY unrecognisable Lucy Lawless) has set up shop as a bleeding heart teacher. Two of her students take her car for a joyride. Cut to Canberra where we get a glimpse into the surprisingly thrilling world of Australian politics. My personal favourite is watching the complex relationship between brothers Ned & Jessie unfold, Ned being an internet journalist who uncovers the story of the missing teens & Jessie being a brilliant but troubled computer geek. This is all tied together beautifully with the Australian version of the NSA on the trail of our would be heroes. Gripping stuff. This is every bit as slick & well developed as its Hollywood counterparts, in particular Homeland (before it went weird). Give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

This is ABC TV's most ambitious political tense thriller about a Government cover up involving two teenagers (Aaron Grath; Clarence Boyd & Madeleine Madden; Sheyna Smith) in a car accident that collided with a truck- one dies set in the fictitious country town of Lindara ( filmed in Broken Hill). Journalist Ned Banks ( Dan Spielman) comes across this story when he is given a file by a Government worker Sophie Walsh (Chelsie Preston-Crayford) who he gets his brother Jesse (Ashley Zuckerman) who has autism but smart to hack into the computer to retrieve the full video the teens left on their phone. The Code is full of A grade talented actors like Lucy Lawless (Alex Wisham) a school teacher in Lindara who contacted Ned and Aaron Pedersen plays Lindara's police officer Tim Simons, Steve Rogers & Dan Wylie play AFP officers, Aden Young and David Wenham play powerful Government officials desperate to keep the accident a secret.
