GamerTab That was an excellent one.

ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

jfcampinell The beginning is a little slow, but keep watching! This political thriller is an interesting series that keeps you guessing from start to finish. What will you look forward to by watching this series? Phenomenal acting, beautiful Australian scenery, mystery, drama, and maybe even a few laughs.Something that we see in The Code that is not often seen in American television is that our main character is a young man who is undoubtedly on the autism spectrum. But he is not only portrayed as a handicapped individual but also a genius, capable of extraordinary things and also capable of being in a romantic relationship and having a sense of his own sexuality. Thank you, Australia!

aretel It took me several episodes to get intrigued enough to continue watching this Australian TV series based on political control within the Australian government which is reminiscent of the Dick Chaney "Whitehouse" cover up years regarding WMDs.The first few episodes were extremely slow due to plot development, but forgivable as it is probably indicative of what life is really like Down Under in Canberra and the outbacks of Australia. It was not until I saw episode 3 when I decided to invest more time in this better than average production.The plot is strong enough to gain interest early in the episodes, but started to wain in the latter parts of the series. The show was well cast and many of the actors gave strong performances including the leads Spielman and Zukerman . However, having said this, I felt that Zukerman's character, Jessie, was over the top irritating. Zukerman did an admirable job in developing his character early on in the series, but one has to wonder if he had to chronically snort chili peppers during each scene in order to personify this character who was mildly autistic (constant tearing, with chronic red eyes and runny nose). His performance became progressively grating and contrived, which made it difficult to watch the scenes he was in without wanting to slap him over the head. I understand Zukerman won the Australian best actor TV award for this role, so perhaps I was the only one that felt this way.I gave this show a 7 because it has merit early on and is well worth seeing until you get bored or just tired.

Michael Denham A very poor attempt at copying the recent excellent Scandinavian series such as The Killing and Borgen, even down to using the same type of music, a rapid recap at the start of each episode, and fast forward at the end. Made an initially good start but soon lost any credulity, with a bunch of cardboard cutout characters, especially the criminally inclined cops and politicians, and an unbelievable plot. The computer hacking abilities were totally beyond belief, actions were inexplicable and unexplained and the plot seemed to be being made up as it went along. Unable to watch beyond the fourth episode as it became more and more unbelievable.

patrick powell There's a lot to be admired in Shelley Birse The Code, not least the convincing, often quite touched, relationship between journalist Ned Banks and his autistic brother Jesse. And the final scene of one of the 'baddies' leaving Australia with - well, I shan't tell you here - does end it all on an unexpected note and set Ms Birse et al up for a second series. And that's no bad thing because if nothing else The Code is hugely entertaining.But there's also room for niggles, however, not least that the computer hacking abilities is to flawless and results are obtained far, far too quickly to allow us to suspend disbelief. Yes, I know cyber nerds can do a lot you, but this quickly? This efficiently? From a cybercafe in the outback?And to be honest I really wasn't too sure what was going on, not even when the final credits were rolling. I could attempt some kind of explanation here, but it doesn't really add up: so some of the bad guys were actually good guys, though a tad brutal? I am always rather disappointed in some drama productions which don't have the mega-bucks budgets of Hollywood - which is all of them made outside Hollywood, then - that there are so few characters of any consequence. Yes, I know it comes down to nothing more than budget restraints but . . .Overall, though, The Code was refreshingly different and, for this Brit at least, it was good not to suffer from the usual range of 'cutting edge' TV drama clichés which are apt to pepper our homegrown - Brit - product (an obligatory gay character, the alcoholic who can still keep it together, the single-mum cop who juggles motherhood and career with an Avon Lady business - no, I think I've got that wrong, but you get the picture. I can honestly say I shall look forward to the second series if there is to be one.
