Here's my review from 2022 when it aired on HBO Max, even though Netflix lists it as a 2024 series. Who are they trying to fool?

After his car is chased and hit by a tractor-trailer in the Australian Outback, a man wakes up in a rural hospital with no memory of who he is or how he got there. It's a dangerous situation because obviously the bad guys, whoever they may be, are still out to get him but he's fortunate to have a local traffic cop with a strong sense of duty handling his case. Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) plays the amnesiac and the wonderful Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cake$) is his guardian angel, Probationary Constable Helen Chambers. Both of them will discover important and difficult truths about themselves as the story progresses, between the now-obligatory long shots of cars travelling along rural highways, the sometimes shocking pile-up of dead bodies, and encounters with quirky ordinary folks and totally crazy-ass villains. This is a highly engaging series full of humor, mystery and thrills that boasts fine performances from the leads and the characters they encounter along the way.
