Safe Harbour Audience Reviews

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
gkdyer-62921 I found this series to be very thought provoking, and found myself often wondering what I would have done in the same situation. I found the acting to be realistic and believable, and the script was true to the local lingo. The subject matter remains topical and series such as this one help to put a human face to people often referred to as "boat people".
sj1-750-343344 Loved it! Not sure how some other reviewers can say it was over acted - for an emotive topic it can't be acted in a bland way. The script rips along as we see all of the characters come to terms with a humanitarian disaster the subsequent impact it has on all their lives and the way they each choose to deal with the ramifications.
deanjyoung This was one of those series where by the story is lacking and the production is so over the top that the more you watch the more frustrated you become. Utterly disappointed
diversdream Unlike the Rasisct 'white Power' rant posted by 'Arize' I intend to Review this Series for what it is and not make some Political B/S statement that has nothing to do with reviewing it.A Brilliant Piece of Confrontational TV, with a nice Mystery on the Boil, with the Police becoming involved from ep2.I think Ewen Leslie is one of Australia's best Actors, he was Excellent in Devils Dust which was all about the Cover Ups during Asbestos Mining in Australia as one of Many Examples of His Work in this country. Jackie Mckenzie is always good in anything She does, as is Leanna Walsman.The Middle Eastern Actors, esp the Mum/Dad and Son whose Daughter/Sister died on the Journey Over at sea are so gut achingly real that You feel both their sadness and anger over their Combined Loss.It was also Refreshing to see correct Nautical Terms in use, for example "Pan Pan" rather then the stock standard Mayday which is not used in Australian Waters by those Familiar with Sea Crossings in an emergency situation.The Cinematography is beautiful but stark and being a SCUBA Diver myself Special Mention should be made of the Underwater Photography Units work. Stephen Reas Music is both haunting and evocative for the scenes it backgrounds.Only 1 ep in but I am hooked and can't wait to see how it develops as the story continues.10/10.As the Newspaper Guardian Australia said its own Review 'unmissable Television with No Easy Answers'.Sums it up perfectly, a Thinking Persons TV Program. Highly Recommended.
