Troppo

I can see that Troppo is going to settle down into quite a good mystery/thriller. Good to see that it isn't held back by cultural cringe (although the Korean family portrayal is a bit 'paint by numbers').

It captures a claustrophobic element of Far North Queensland - the tropics seem to bring out those qualities. Only 3 eps in, and it remains to be seen if the script is going to deliver any real surprises or if it will be a procedural 'bad company over-reaches'.

Update: Although Troppo broadcast one of its deceits too early it managed to conceal others, and arguably saved its best for the last couple of episodes, by which time the ensemble were more settled into their roles. Well worth a 7 and a binge.
