Yes
It was brilliant
IIRC - was meant to be weekly drip feed on sbs but so overwhelmingly good they dropped all eps. S2 has been made and I cannot wait

I was curious about Bay of Fires after reading the comments hear so I watched the first 4 episodes. I'm looking forward to catching up with the rest of the episodes soon. I hope at least some of the secrets come out in the last episode.

Bay of Fires just goes to show what small towns in Tasmania are really like!

I enjoyed it and it was a good effort I suggest. The series had great potential and the plot read well but apart from a few gems, it kinda fell flat IMHO.

Bay of Fires had it’s moments, I did enjoy it and in particular the soundtrack, haven’t heard The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band for a long time.

Kin, not so much, bit too violent for us.


Geez, I have to proff read stuff before I hit enter….

Don't watch the 2nd season then, far more violent!

Trying to catch up on Kin, up to ep.5 . The violence isn't a problem but the sound is and combined with the accents has me rewinding every now and then. Maybe I need to invest in a sound bar for the TV.

Anyone with a modern TV and just using the inbuilt speakers is committing a federal crime and should turn themselves in immediately!

After over a decade hiatus from having a proper AV setup (and using a soundbar as a temporary stopgap.... that didn't end up being so temporary!) I'm starting to build out my AV again. Heck, even the set of Q Acoustics bookshelf speakers I have setup in my office put the soundbar to shame!

I'm looking at Arcam for the receiver and undecided re: tower vs bookshelf on stands for the front speakers. The Kef LS50's look/sound good.

You are fortunate living in the UK, the cradle of good audio design. I'd need to sell my first born to afford an Arcam.

I didn't think they were that pricey, so based on that I would suggest that in Aus they'd cost a fair bit more then.

I have a good sound bar and rarely have any issues with sound except watching some shows on Disney+ I need to put it up 3-4 levels higher than any other channel or streaming service - something weird going on there.

I finished the rest of Bay of Fires. I thought enough secrets came out in order to satisfy me. There were enough threads left open to allow further episodes if funded but the resolution seemed a good place to end the story if they don't get more episodes.

I would describe the series as horrible but compelling. It was great seeing Marta again in a strong female role, but I enjoyed her role in A Place To Call Home better.

I'm wondering if they make a second season, whether they will use the theme/concept of "Power Corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely."
