Travis Johnson of Flicks says: "Troppo is fascinating television, and not necessarily because of its mystery plot Decider's Johnny Loftus, on the other hand, says: "Watching these two proud but very damaged people sort out their respective baggage in this dusty Queensland town against all local adversity is at the heart of Troppo's appeal"

However, some critics pointed out several weaknesses Luke Buckmaster of The Guardian balanced the pros and cons well: "There's not much originality in the script, but the dynamism between the two annoying characters works well, and the film's story is well written"

Audiences similarly praised the film as "very enjoyable" and "the acting is really solid"

If you like a good crime drama, "Troppo" is clearly worth a look It is a mysterious story with a twist, and the two protagonists are very much in sync The plot is familiar and may seem somewhat repetitive, but the characters and their interactions within the show make this production stand out
