So this is an upcoming Aussie drama which got produced by FX in the US. They’re releasing it end of Sept.

It’s Based on the Aussie cult movie, The Magician, basically about a hit man/ family man trying to get by.

Directed by Nash Edgerton, with Scott Ryan, Brooke Satchwell (from neighbours) and Damon Herriman ( one of the most underrated Aus actors going around).

FX were talking it up at this weeks TCA’s, as a dark drama with great Aussie humour. One to watch out for.

Good viewing!

Watched it by chance two nights ago. Didn't know what It was until it ended and remembered seeing a thread title here about it. Anyway, I *en loved it and will be tuning in.

Don't mind a bit of Aussie drama.

Was really hyped to see this, as the previews were good.

It was ok, but the episodes seemed way to short, over just when it really began.

But my biggest slight, was storyline development (hope it is only due to first couple of episodes), but in his hitman role, it just shows him doing his thing, no lead up to it, and then no real end either. I sort of hope the story lines improve in this aspect.

Hes a great character though, and its worth seeing if the story develops from here.

It was a classic , a great show, could go again if they wanted to. But I think its a one off, very very good, I bet a lot of people missed it. 6 HALF HOUR EPISODES.

That is the story line exactly what you saw, it is a reality in itself, its people and other people and that's how life like that goes, no bullshit American heroes, they are just people, some of them crooked people.
You wouldn't know one if you met them in the street.
They just like anyone else. Then sometimes?

I liked it very much. Great lead character and good supporting cast. I agree that a show like this needs to be a bit longer.
45 minutes per episode would be preferable. Brooke Satchwell is still lovely!

Best show currently screening by a street.

Realise the episodes are short and kinda over way too quickly, but having just watched episode four season two I wondered how it could be improved by adding another twenty two minutes, everything needed was right there, pared to the bone, no padding, just exceptional story telling of the highest quality.

Roll on season three and beyond. Fingers crossed.
