Season One/My Comments: The protagonist, played by the headliner from FRINGE (Anna Torv) is an investigative journalist for the top newspaper in Canberra. In the first two episodes we discover that she is separated from her much-loved husband, who is transitioning into a woman, but he gets murdered. She then spends her time uncovering the twisting, turning Chinese/American/Australian top government spies vs. good guys. Excellent show.
Season Two/My Comments: Less enjoyable, more difficult to follow. It's all politics, Australian politics, and takes quite a few episodes to even fathom who is baseline good guy or bad guy. Perhaps I should have rewatched season one before watching this. It does straighten up in the mind a little by the end, but it wasn't really that interesting, unfortunately. Just ok.
Storyline from IMBd: Beneath the placid facade of Canberra, amidst rising tension between China and America, senior political journalist Harriet Dunkley uncovers a secret city of interlocked conspiracies, putting innocent lives in danger including her own.
