I have just finished watching the first series and it was fantastic.
The cinematography has a magical touch to it which captured me into wanting more and more.
Every cast member played their parts with finesse and perfection. The story is based in Australia in the 1940/50's and every detail of this production was displayed correctly to this era. Not only is this a classic story executed beautifully but gives an exciting insight into Australia's history and social background. The message of the book was definitively portrayed by each cast member and there was no sign of it quivering throughout the series.
I read the book a few years a go and was a little concerned about watching it as it could have ruined my original enjoyment of the book but in my opinion the production team carried it off with a well deserved 10/10!
Watch it if you get a chance as you won't be disappointed.
