The concept seems reasonable and maybe the o/s versions are better, but when it's cast, both hunters and hunted, with bogans trying too hard to be taken seriously - e.g. The hunters' favourite line is Go! Go! Go! Which they probably think makes them sound like real action guys but just comes from too much time watching D grade cop shows, there's just no hope. You can tell how desperate the channel is to drag this heap out of the stinking bog, by the relentless attempts at 'encore' episodes promoted by a guy trying to impersonate a zombie, which is an insult to real zombies. I switched channels and found a re-run of the ten hour live count of the recent federal election night, which had me stabbing my eyes with knitting needles at the time - and not the pointy end, the big round buttony end because I wanted to do the job properly - but compared to this deadwood, is 10/10 must-see TV.
