    Its interesting some critic reviews say the first episode is confusing. Perhaps for an American audience used to being spoon fed their narrative it might be. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but you couldn't get a more straight forward story line in the first episode. Worth a look.

    Cleverman is really interesting especially it's lore and the way the antagonist is placed. And good enough almost every character is interesting and going through choices and changes that really shape them to who they become as the season further progresses. It's a very refreshing taste 9/10

    Cleverman works up to a point, but the failure of the show’s creative team to build upon the promise of its conceit and its underlying ideas leaves a sour taste in one’s mouth.

    The narrative can sometimes be confusing. But the multiple, long arcs become legible, and sort themselves out satisfactorily in the end, if not in any way surprisingly. And there are good, under-the-top performances that enliven characters fetched from mothballs.

    Cleverman is full of potential. It just takes all season to embrace it.
