Featured review
Another excellent offering from Aussie TV.
The story lines, charcters, writing, acting, sets, period ambiance... whatever else... are all superb. While there is enough compelling mystery to keep you interested there is enough good humor to make you smile. The relationships between all the characters are mostly heartwarming. Maybe that's what draws me to Australian shows more than the hardarse bitterness and violence of American tv. Gees, there's enough gritty reality in the real world... give me a break... and a little escape. Too bad it had to end. I look forward to the movie. The 60s MOD version is fun and similar in nature so, if you like this, try that.
Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it. 7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling. 8 would be a regular in my lineup. 9 is a must see and probably bingeable. 10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list. I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.
