Currently watching the first series of Wanted 2016 being shown on one of the C5 Freeview channels.
Not at all bad. Nothing we haven't seen before - two polar opposite women are forced to team up after witnessing a murder by corrupt cops who try to kill them too. They eventually escape and run away with the money involved. Branded in the media as dangerous criminals thanks to the corrupt cops they end up being pursued by the bad guys and the one good cop who is suspicious that something hinky is going on.
The USP is that this is Australia not the USA. Its all competently done in every respect with a gently amusing comradeship developing between the two very different women due to their accidental shared jeopardy. They also have secrets which will no doubt be used to add extra depth to the storyline.
Undemanding stuff but very watchable.
I think there are six episodes per series and they made three series so it must have gone down OK down-under.
