    The narrative beats never feel laboured, and Mystery Road: Origin feels refreshingly about Jay, rather than just using him as a human pathway into a tangled web.

    Like the original series, Mystery Road: Origin layers lots of stories into a slow-burn story involving Jay Swan’s very complicated life.
