Synopsis

Anna Macy left Kettering when she was just 14, shortly after her best friend, Gillian Baxter mysteriously disappeared. The two girls had been playing in the forbidden forests outside Kettering when they saw strange lights in the sky. Eight hours later, Anna was found alone, terrified and covered in blood. 15 years on, Anna returns to find the town struggling to survive. The forests have been marked for logging and the community is being torn apart by passionate but violent clashes between environmentalists and the local loggers.

Artivels Undescribable Perfection
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
dresse-171-35517 SLOW, SLOW, SLOOOOOWWW!! I enjoy thoughtful mysteries but this dragged me down like an anchor. despite the beautiful scenery this was a colossal waste of time. Every actor depressed, no comic relief, no likeable characters, and no closure. The main character, supposedly an educated doctor, mopes around like a 15 year old who can't go to prom. Typically the BBC broadcasts excellent stories but this was pitiful.
NA Blackwell The good bit - great scenery The bad - everything else The lead role - well if that's acting I wish I had taken It up as a career. Just go around for 8 episodes like a sulky 'Kevin' teenager and being ars@@ with everyone. Ridiculous plot - about 6 themes going on, none of which concluded, with the worst cop out of all i.e. Ending left to your own imagination where you write the script. Tedious.
taoc-74872 The funny thing is I accidentally skipped Episode 7 and didn't notice. That says it all.To fill the remainder of my five lines:A Kettering farmer buys several (non-radioactive0 sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and phones a vet for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination.The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and instead will lie down and wallow in grass when they are pregnant.The farmer hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the sheep himself.So, he loads the sheep into his Land Rover, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back, and goes to bed.Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he deduces that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the Land Rover again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back, and goes to bed exhausted.Next morning, he wakes to find the sheep still just standing round. Try again.' he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up, and drive them out to the woods He spends all day shagging the sheep and upon returning home, falls knackered into bed.The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look out of the window. He asks his wife to look, and tell him if the sheep are lying in the grass.'No,' she says, 'they're all in the Land Rover…….. and one of them is beeping the horn.'
ElessarAndurilS The Kettering Incident Season 1 was slow to develop, filled with unlikable characters (less Anna, Elizabeth Debicki) who was superb as a troubled doctor returning to her roots to seek answers to her troubles. The scenery of Kettering and Tasmania is fantastic, I can't believe more hasn't been filmed in such a beautiful landscape to date. The show suffers from developing to slowly. While I can accept the need for character development, it doesn't happen in season 1 at a pace that matches the time given. Everything is a mystery and though seeking answers Anna seems to push away everyone offering any. None the less the story plants many seeds of thought of what in the world is going on thus capturing ones attention.Problem is after the finale of season 1 you are left with no answers and only questions. It builds until Anna meets who you suspect is her half sister gone missing 15 years earlier in a secret tunnel but as they come face to face it appears to be her (a clone, someone looking exactly like her but dirty, weak, and starved). As they come face to face your expectation is a major answer, instead the episode ends and the audience is left with 1000 questions. Worst is that most of the questions are introduced in the finale. If they had been planted throughout the season the season would have been less sad and lagging in pace.As bad as what I write is, the problem is there is so much mystery built by this point that if they don't make a Season 2 I'm going to scream at yet another show leaving me hanging AND with all the gaps and questions the show has HUGE POTENTIAL to have the story explode into a unique Sci Fi/Mystery/Drama that rates a 10. Then again depending on how it plays out it could be one of the worst shows ever created. All I can do is write a review stating that if you watch the show you will be disappointed at the ending; however if you have great imagination you will see the potential for an incredible series building from this assuming they start doling out some answers in Season 2 quickly so we have some firm ground to stand on in watching. Sad thing is I google the show and read that a Season 2 isn't even likely making me wonder why they made the show in the first place. But one can hope.
