It’s about a guy who gets in a wreck in Australia and has amnesia, can’t even remember his own name. Then people start trying to kill him and a local cop helps him try to figure out why. It’s like Bourne Identity but with comedic elements. Well written with good drama, action and also some laugh out loud moments. I recommend it, only 6 episodes.

Season 2 premieres tomorrow.

I watched this on max years ago.

Depressing but good. Ending was a gut punch. Had no idea there was a season 2.

Any relation to the movie with Depp and Jolie from 15 or so years ago?

No. A dude wakes up in the Outback with no memory of how he got there but people are trying to kill him.

ETA: the OP had this and I missed it in response to you. Totally different.

Great show. Not sure how Netflix got it because it was a Max original when it released.

It looks like it was originally a joint British-Australian production. HBO then jumped on board to get the American rights, but has since dropped it.

I don’t know how long the first season is going to be available on Netflix. It looks like they might have been granted rights only for a limited time in conjunction with the release of S2 on their platform.

Since HBO Max's merge with whatever worthless company put all of it's reality shows on Max, they've also been selling rights to some HBO properties to Netflix and possibly others. I've noticed lots of posts on here lately about an old movie or show that used to be on HBO, now being on Netflix.

All of this.

And this also set the inevitable path for HBO to be all reality show bullshite.

Season 2 was great. I think its one of the best shows on TV. Nothing groundbreaking, but highly enjoyable.

I binged this about a week back. It was entertaining. I would say it was good not great. Season 2 was better than season 1.

The whole I'm being chased by someone in a motor vehicle let me run down this road or across this open field instead of around all these stone walls and woods really ticks me off the first 2 episodes. And hey I get a spotty cell signal in this spot the call quality is crap why don't I just send a @#$#'ing text message.
