Rush

This show had everything - Politics, relationships, blood, and action. I loved every episode and can't believe it didn't continue. There are so many inferior shows that have lasted longer and it's just not right.

The first couple seasons were really good, but after that it got increasingly stupid. By season three the characters got more and more childish. None of these people would ever even be a real street cop let alone an elite unit member. That and the firearm handling were amateurish at best. I gave it five stars because of the first two seasons, if they would've kept up the quality I'd have given it much more.

We so wanted to watch and like this given some of our favorite actors are in it. However, the camera work is like a first person shooter game. And it's constantly flipping back and forth. It actually makes you nauseous. It reminded me of the chase scenes in the Jason Bourne movies but worse. We watched beyond the pilot (which starts with a 4 min 30 sec chase scene and future episodes were filmed the same way. Too bad.

It's good and it deserves better.

I don't want to spoil it and talk about what happens. I would like however to mention how Aussie shows manage to capture real life better than American shows - who just lose themselves in unnatural drama. I don't know if that's because Aussie life is more down-to-earth than American life since I haven't been to any of those countries, but somehow I can relate to Rush much more than to any American cop show i've seen lately.

The characters are believable and real. And yeah, some ideas might not be the most original out there, but they don't feel fake while watching, and when watching this show I don't get that odd sensation I sometimes get when watching other shows - that feeling that someone's really trying hard to come up with a good story and it just doesn't get out. The story flows naturally.

Let's hope they don't lose it. I hope they go as long as Water Rats - maybe longer.

Great Aussie series, well acted great story's.just being repeated on uk tv now my third time watching this series. Australia really has some of the best actors and series.
