From IMDB:
Two Canberra based brothers become entangled in a cover up that involves a remote outback community and key members of the Australian Government.
Acorn TV offers this Season One 6-episode conspiracy thriller.
How am I ever going to find another governmental intrigue series as exciting, well-crafted, dramatic, and spellbinding as “The Code”?
Give a rousing cheer to the Australian actor Dan Spielman who plays Ned Banks and to the California-born actor Ashley Zukerman who plays Ned’s brother Jesse. They are the center of attention around whom the plot revolves. Ned’s constant caring for his severely Asberger’s disabled but computer gifted bother Jesse supplies most of the drama. In addition Adele Perovic’s role as Hani Parande, who brings love into Jesse’s life, is stunning. For me the only recognizable actor was the New Zealand icon Lucy Lawless who plays Alex Wisham.
Another twenty well-cast characters provide complexity and quite of bit of drama on their own.
Needless to say, there is an enormous amount of digital displays, computer shenanigans, and other hocus-pocus. Just believe that the geeks know what they are doing.
Once again it was the evil in the “bad guys” that kept me on edge waiting to see if they received their just deserts. Not all “good versus evil” plots end with justice prevailing. But then a little ambiguity spices any plot.
Recently I read a comparison of American versus British thriller series. One point made was that the Americans drag their stories on for too long. This Australian series backs up that idea. There was not a wasted piece of writing in all six episodes.
