Cyril Lerossignol rated ★ 7/10
Une série en 6 épisodes contant un cold case au sein d'une communauté australienne du Queensland, où les aborigènes et les blancs semblent vivre en une certaine harmonie. Très délicate, la série aborde des sujets universels comme les violences faites aux femmes, l'exploitation des immigrés clandestins ou le poids des traditions. Travis Fimmel (le Ragnar de Vikings) joue un enquêteur torturé lui-même par un drame familial. Une série de bonne facture à l'instar des séries anglaises, sans grandiloquence mais avec une approche du réel, qui pourrait donner lieu à une suite au vu des dernières images...
