This series revolves around a broken family in 80s Brisbane, where dealing and using heroin play a central part. The sons are the fulcrum of the story: Felix Cameron plays a precocious, outspoken whippersnapper and Lee Tiger Halley plays his brother, who’s sometimes mute. Fortunately, both of the young actors are marvelous in capturing the complex emotions that their situations find them in, while displaying their immense brotherly love. The series starts with an upbeat, quirky energy and some flights of fantasy. There a clever directorial bits and snappy situations. As the plot progresses, it becomes less about eccentric and more about drama, which is also handled well. While the subject is dark and many of their encounters unpleasant, it’s ultimately a sweet story of family love with some eccentric personalities and compelling storytelling.
