We've been watching a show called Bay of Fires which is set in Tasmania. We assumed it would be about an actual pretty little town of that name on the East Coast but, instead, it's set in the south-west with all the filming being done in towns like Strahan, Queenstown and Zeehan. Apparently the Tasmanian Government paid the ABC $1.5 million in an attempt to put Tasmania on the map.
I don't know how this show could ever encourage anyone to visit Tasmania. All the locals are shown to be in-bred, sub-normal homicidal misfits, unwelcoming of any visitors. It's a bit over the top; we're not all like that! It's no wonder that people believe that all Tasmanians have two heads.
When we finish it, we've found another program set in Tasmania called Deadloch which was first shown on Prime. Apparently it was very well-received and I hope it's better than Bay of Fires/
