Tough Nuts: Australia's Hardest Criminals (2010– ) User Reviews (5)

Entertaining & Educative portrayal of Australias Hardest Criminals

[rutonder · 8/10 · 27 October 2012]

With the use of forensic experts, police accounts and witnesses, Tough Nuts delivers a broader understanding of brutal criminals.

Very entertaining by solid dramatization and beautifully presented and narrated by Tara Moss.

Australia certainly has its own breed of anti-social characters, whether it bee serial killers, gangsters or white collar criminals.

The recent Melbourne Gangland War gave real live showcase for scenarios that has captivated audiences for decades in movies like Scarface and The Godfather trilogy. I lived in New Zealand as the last and most intense years of the gangland war raged , and I just felt like it was Scarface in the shape of Big Brother everyday.

For all true crime lovers, this series combined with the Underbelly series is a must and gives us an portrayal of the hardest criminals in Australian recent history.

P.S I perceive and review this series as a documentary. However my sympathies goes out to all innocent victims of the characters portrayed in this show.

Pretty decent look at some of Australia's infamous criminals

I'm enjoying this series and finding it quite informative.

Good - pretty well researched. I really enjoy Chopper Read. They'll be talking about how violent someone is, and Chopper will say "He was a great bloke"

Bad - Some of the acting is cringe worthy. They have Roger Rogerson as an expert. In 2016 he was convicted of murder. I suppose he is an expert, being on both sides of the law. Every time he comes on screen I just want to slap him.

Great show, host not so much.

Straightforward storytelling no glamour given to the stories of those involved wether the headline thug or minor lowlifes. My singular complaint is the creepy smiling smirking seductive side glances given constantly by a person who is obviously incredibly smart and accomplished individual and the point of her doing this every time she's shown eludes me.

Boring and badly made series

Not entertaining in the slightest. Repetitive in interviews and scenes. Narrator is boring. Series is boring

Roger rogerson

Nice to see you're interviewing murderous crooked cops, is anything he said in this series true? Might want to head to the prison he's locked up in for the rest of his life and find out tbh. One star.
