  1. Excellent series. Shame Foxtel took so long, I too have seen it. Amazon Prime. Could also be a delayed thing with HBO and the Australian Market. Pick up your game Foxtel.

  2. Foxtel are really late to this one… I’ve already seen it, it’s a really cool story but six episodes was way too much. Easily a story you could tell in three. You can tell they struggle to fill in the middle episodes.
