Oh dear .....
"Goldstone" was dreadful .....
Every possible reference from "Mystery Road" (the movie) was mangled into an appalling pastiche, with none of the original artistic integrity, ending with a 3-minute "I coulda been, I shoulda been" speech from the chisel-jawed white hero, who'd just rescued the beautiful Chinese prostitutes from bondage, to which Jay, thankfully, replied "I guess ..... "
The movie has no redeeming features, not even Aaron Pedersen, who, for an unspecified reason, portrays Jay as a long-haired, cigarette-smoking, drunk ......
"Goldstone" got great reviews but, IMO, Ivan Sen just did it by the numbers for maximum financial return - a return which, AFAIK, did not materialise .....

Re: Mystery Road - Film now TV Series
I've just caught up with Goldstone on i Player. I agree with Omah, it was a real letdown, cliched characters, from the mayor, crooked business man, gangster bikers, to the two cops, both pretty unbelievable. The only plus I could give it, was the dry, dusty, but beautiful desert scenery. Let us pray, there is not a Goldstone 2 !
