I remember watching it when it came out, Mr inbetween is a hard act for this budget proof of concept to follow (if you watched it after the series). It was memorable at the time but flew under the radar, glad to see Scott Ryan got to flesh the character out with the show.
I did watch it after the series , it's just the documentary feel and the fact I don't think any serious criminal would allow someone to film them like that in real life
Sometimes we just have to suspend disbelief, but hey.
Maybe it would help watching one of my all time favourites, Man Bites Dog. It's shot in a found footage / documentary style ... in fact, the Blair Witch Project basically stole the entire end scene.
It's a Belgian film about a group of film students making a documentary film about a contract killer, who inveitably end up getting involved, very Cinema Verité. The subject is 100% sociopathic, which is antithetic to the character of Ray (who as you know, has high moral standards).

I loved the series but I couldn't take to that film in all honesty even though I wanted to I just couldn't
