Nothing like it before in the history of Australian screen. So thrilling to have indigenous Australian story dramatized on such a way. Excited for the second season. Disappointed that it appears we don't get any of the Extras available on other platforms, so minus one star for that.

I love how this show incorporates both storytelling from people who have had these stories passed down from generation to generation over 60,000 years with the storytelling of today. I couldn't fault this show it's exhilarating and thought provoking at the same time. So great to see our first peoples sharing their culture with the rest of us.

I am totally addicted to Cleverman... I couldn't get enough from the very beginning! I was watching Series 1 on iView when it was removed recently... I was totally gutted because I need to see the rest of the Series both 1&2!
