Doctor Doctor

I see that this show is called something different in Europe than it is here in the USA but I don't know why. It's a fantastic alternative to those tired of reality tv and zombie shows. This little gem is wonderful and full of heart, romance, excitement and dramedy too. The cast is top-notch and the only weak character in my opinion is Ajax but he gets better. I found him incredibly tedious and obnoxious series one but he greatly stepped up his game series two. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a heart or who has ever breathed in air.

I'm enjoying this so far. I like the laconic dialogue and depiction of small town lifestyle.

However, I'm waiting for the usual Aussie malaise, the gradual descent into cliché driven soap. I'm hoping this time, Charlie doesn't allow herself to be seduced by Hugh, Matt doesn't die to make way for Hugh, Hugh doesn't have sex 'to make a baby' with Charley - he's a surgeon, let him supply his sperm the clinical way for a change.

How about a stable if quirky family situation that doesn't deteriorate into the usual melodramatic BS... There's plenty of material in the outback lifestyle to keep the series going for years if they do it right.

The show started strong with the expected tensions between Hugh and Penny but into season 3 I am giving up. As with other reviewers Ajax's childish and dangerous behavior is totally annoying. The writers somehow think a character who is blind to the situation his adapted father left him in and constantly shooting something up is a relatable person. From reading the episode descriptions it just keeps going down hill from here which is a pity as the scenery and even some of the hospital action are a real treat.

I have found this new TV series very entertaining. It is so nice to have a real TV drama to watch instead of all the hopeless reality TV nonsense. Over the years I have always tried to watch any new Australian TV series in preference to American shows. Some have missed the mark completely. The cast of Doctor Doctor are very convincing in their rolls and I am looking forward to next weeks episode. It has been awhile since a series has got me looking forward to next week, so well done to the script writers, directors and actors on a job well done. The fact that the show is set in a small country town gives it some extra charm. Lets hope that the story continues to entertain.

I liked Hugh, his coworkers and his mother Meryl right from the start. I eventually warmed up to the rest of the cast with the exception of Ajax. Ajax is completely unlikable, by the third season I was fast-forwarding any scene with that annoying man/child in it and nearly gave up on the show altogether because of him.
