Troppo

It takes at least the first episode to find its feet, but once the initially overly-mannered performances and frantic scene-setting settle down (which, from the comments, seem to have dissuaded some reviewers from pushing ahead with watching to its conclusion), this series develops into a remarkably atmospheric (and very well acted) drama. A top quality cast - with some top-notch Aussie actors in supporting roles - excellent production values, and superb use of local topography, make it worth your time. The only gripe I had, was that the final scene was dramatic enough without any music playing over it to heighten the impact. Only avoid if you don't like crocodiles - or snakes.
