Some really good actors doing a poor job. The writing is terrible. I mean like in american network tv kind of bad writing. The plot, the dialogue, the repeated accidental telling the boyfriend how to interfere with the investigation kind of plot contrivances. Really how bad can it get here.

For the best part of 5 years, I watched all of the really good Australian shows, Rake, Janet king, Wanted, Jack Irish, Doctor, Doctor, The Doctor Blake Mysteries, etc. Now in one fell swoop, with the screening of 'Dead Lucky, all the previous good work has been wasted.. 'Dead Lucky' is intended to tick all of the boxes for it identified viewers, the liberal cultural apologists, to ensure they don't feel neglected. The screenplay on one episode I watched was woeful, the characters had no credibility or substance in any of the various groups included, and the acting was, at best, wooden, and at worse, painful to watch. This show is something that the BBC or Sky would produce and screen - I had firmly believed that the Australian producers held themselves aloof from the nauseating cultural pandering. There is no opportunity to rate this as 0/10, yet that would be a fair rating.
I shall continue to watch the tried and tested programmes, but will be increasingly wary of new shows.

I try to support Aussie film/TV so tuned in to this offering even though I was already mightily put off by the promo of a scene with Griffiths muttering "Don't be dramatic" to a colleague. By the same token that very thing also drew me to it, because I could not believe the acting could possibly be THAT BAD. Turns out I was right the first time. Rachael Griffiths plays a thoroughly annoying character, with her dead-pan voice and OTT smart-arse dialogue. The acting all round is woeful but it is mostly Griffiths' contribution to this uninspiring steaming pile of crap that totally turned me off.
