"Handsome period drama" - Entertainment Weekly

"A triumph" - The Australian

Award-winning adaptation of Tim Winton's bestselling novel, this six-part Australian miniseries is exquisitely filmed with an outstanding ensemble cast led by Kerry Fox (An Angel at My Table, The Woman in White) and Essie Davis (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, Game of Thrones). Set around Perth from 1943-1963, it tells the story of two rural families, each scarred by catastrophe, who end up sharing a large, ramshackle house that shudders and groans with memories of its own. The Lambs are hardworking, God-fearing, and devastated by a horrific accident. The Pickles are luckless and derelict, blown by the winds of fate and their own bad decisions. The families couldn't be more different, yet they find common ground beneath the same roof. Years pass and they stay together, shouting, brawling, laughing, loving, and enduring. (6 EPS, 2011)
