From an Aussie point of view, I think it was really clever with a lot of topical issues without being ham fisted: our treatment of refugees, the gentrification of urban communities of colour (the Zone is basically Redfern, I think), voyeuristic journalism
I'm really looking forward to this aspect. I'm an Australian living in the UK (hence the reason why I haven't watched the show yet - I'm waiting for it to air here), and I'm absolutely starved for Australian media. It's so rare that you get a work of fiction that's so unapologetically grounded in Australian politics, landscapes and culture, and that it's a majority Indigenous cast, with Indigenous writers and production team, just makes it a hundred times better.
