Winter's Cumin' Streaming 24' - High Country - Season One

High Country started strong, however I am not sure how much we need a second season.

Wentworth's Leah Purcell did shine, however it all became a little same, same, just another crime drama on our many streaming services right now. The eight part first season streams now on Binge, alongside a number of HBO miniseries like the current The Sympathizer.

Created by Marcia Gardner and John Ridley, the series launched mid-March, concluding this week.

Alongside Purcell, Ian McElhinney, Sara Wiseman and Aaron Pedersen star in the Victorian crime/mystery series.

So what's the drum? What is it all about?

When detective Andrea 'Andie' Whitford (Purcell) is transferred to the town of Brokenridge, located within the Victorian High Country, she is assigned to the mysterious case of five missing persons, who have disappeared into the wilderness. 

As she delves further into the investigation, she begins to uncover a complex web of murder, deceit and revenge.

Sort of like a more fancy, modern Blue Heelers, High Country is beautifully shot while also underutilising Aaron Pedersen. His role is so tiny, you wonder why was even cast.

As Andie also learns her truth whilst solving the crime, we find out there is a whole lot of bad juju in this small Victorian town.

Not the best Aussie cop/crime show of late. However it looks beautiful, with a fairly talented cast.

The eight episodes flew past week to week. Speaking of Chucky also concludes its two part run this week. Then next week miniseries Palm Royale, The Girls on the Bus and BMF call it a day.

Stay dry Sydney! Or just stay home and watch some telly.
