Review:
A mob ‘fixer’ flees Chicago and winds up in rural Australia. Along the way, his money is stolen by a priest. He has to pretend to be the priest in his small-town post. The cynical protagonist takes a kid under his wing. There’s a will-they-won’t-they with a by-the-books cop.
It’s standard USA network fare (Burn Notice et al.) and all been seen before. They do seem to care about chronic illness, featuring characters with multiple sclerosis and endometriosis, and even squeeze out a half-decent theological conversation or two but unless you have a whole lot of time to fill, this isn’t worth picking up.
