'A new series set in Tasmania gives its characters an edge of humour to negotiate its troubling darkness ‘The island’s landscapes had a troubling strangeness, if you looked beyond the stage sets we had erected,” Tasmanian novelist Christopher Koch wrote of his homeland. “And beyond Port Davey’s last little lights of settlement, in the extreme southwest all normality ended.” This is the setting for the ABC’s new drama Bay of Fires, a small, dilapidated township called Mystery Bay, where signs warn of rabies and “Low Level Radiation”, and the hoarding welcoming visitors, if they were ever to unwittingly arrive, has the Mystery crossed out and replaced with the word Misery.'
