Early on you could get a sense of why this show would win awards and be sort of a cult favorite.
But you could tell it would take time. Even as someone who watches a lot of Australian and New Zealand TV and listens to plenty of music from the region, it is still a little of a culture shock to watch the show.
That being said, my bigger issue is that it is sort of by the book with the good guys and bad guys here, and not much originality in the characters.
Elisabeth Moss did a decent job with the accent and she's great in everything she does so that's reason enough to keep watching.
It was a solid start, not a particularly noteworthy one though.
