Red Rock 1.6

Back on form here, with storyline advancements (a new job for Katie) and a new storyline (stolen money), as well. This new arc also has Katie in the middle of it, and illustrates one problem the show may have going forward (a hell of a lot of crimes involving the same small group of people!). But the cast and characters have won me over, and I look forward to each new episode. 8/10

Red Rock 1.5

Not as strong as the first four episodes.

  • Some scenes, such as the one with the Kileys attacking the undertaker, are just too silly to work. Feels more like something that would happen in a broad sitcom.
  • If the show wants to establish these characters as a credible threat then nonsense like that doesn’t help.
  • Apart from that, in the other stories, there were some interesting ideas in the mix.

7/10

Red Rock 1.4

Best episode so far, with India Mullen being particularly good. Katie emerging as my favourite character, at the moment. The b-story was better than the ongoing arc, too. 9/10

Red Rock 1.3

The soap opera elements (a miscarriage and a family feud) are pedestrian but engaging, the police work aspects (informing someone of a death overseas) are fresh and interesting. 8/10

Red Rock 1.2

Second episode maintains solid mixture of crime drama and soap opera. Nothing very original, but almost everything works. The big reveal at the end (a romance between Liam and Patricia) is probably going a bit too far. Suddenly it seems like a lot of romantic ties between just three families. 8/10

Red Rock 1.1

Enjoyable first episode. Hits the ground running with story and character. Pacy. Will watch more. 8/10
