Australia should be ashamed
18 September 2015
As a person who was born in Australia and spent all of my life here, all I have to say is that we should be ashamed of not supporting the first drama depicting colonization that even rates a mention. Even though indigenous Australians were not depicted in the first season, i'm sure they would have been included in the seasons to follow, if not I may have lost interest in this TV series but it was barely given a chance. One season is surely not enough time to introduce a foreign people the main characters know little about if you want to focus on their stories. This show was the first chance for the story of Australia to become known to the rest of the world, and now we will never know what the impact of that would have been.
