Last King of the Cross 2023 - Last King of the Cross Serie TV in italiano

Last King of the Cross, is a very Australian brand of crime drama. Thats not necessarily a bad thing. It offers up a very different flavour of gritty crime, when compared to the standard American fare. My only criticism of this production, is it feels like its trying a little too hard. Its Aussie vibe feels somewhat overcooked and perhaps, even, a little self indulgent. The larger than life characters who populate the red light district of Kings Cross in Sydney, feel a little too large, when compared to the reality of who these people were or are. Perhaps thats what recounting a story, inevitably, does but still, that feeling, remains. If you can accept the handling, there remains, a lot to like. An insight into desperate, scheming, of often darkly interesting characters, who populate a societal underbelly, ordinary people only get to glimpse superficially, from the brash, garishly neon, street level of Kings Cross. Acting is top shelf, with a cast of talented Australian actors.Sets are well rendered and entirely convincing, too. In summary, this reviewer would categorise Last King of the Cross, as more, a rollicking, Aussie crime soap opera, than true crime expose. Nonetheless, this remains a fascinating tale that has, clearly, had a lot of money spent, bringing it to life. For my money, it remains, a must watch.
