A Place to Call Home

A soap, but a soap of the very highest quality. Noni Hazlehurst's performance alone is reason enough to watch.

..so it's over.. it will be missed... it wasn't always great television, but for sure it was mostly all very good TV

..the cast was solid across the board, and all production values high

..when there is just sooo much not worth watching that seems to never end... to loose one that was looked forward to week to week leaves a void..

..Australia keeps putting out high-quality shows... keep 'em coming.. you have a most grateful North American audience thanking you..!!

At first I was a bit of a snob. I thought it was a little too soap-operay. but soon enough I was hooked.

The characters, the settings, the clothes, the cars, all were so wonderful! The dramatic story lines sometimes were lame (but I didn't care) because sometimes they were riveting. The acting suited the plot at the time, sometimes a bit hard to accept the drama, but still.....if you liked Downton Abbey, you'll like this smaller, country version of a family saga

This is a great series to dive into and look forward to watching. I found it such a wonderful, pleasant relief from the violence in current day American series. There's violence but it's not graphic. Liked this a lot....it's so enjoyable.

This is one of the best TV series to come out in a long time...we live in the States but tend to watch English shows vs American 90% of the time since the reality show trend is a total waste. I'm a Brit expat and husband is American, we both loved this post WW2 drama. The cast is superb and make this series all the more compelling. The 50s' feel is well done, as is the portrayal of the three generations and how they cope with their different - and unexpected yet similar - experiences. Not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, the series generally takes us to fresh plots/characterizations in ways other shows haven't. Bravo! We saw series 2 on the BBC and anxiously await its screening on Acorn Media next month. Series 3 is apparently being filmed now to be shown later in the year with a 4th to follow. Looking forward to seeing it -- why can't this type of series be shown here at the same time? Why do US audiences have to wait a few years or worse watch a US-made remake that usually flops? Don't the studios understand that we are not idiots and enjoy watching intelligent shows?

I really enjoyed this series. It had me crying, angry, happy, and sad. It was a very emotional series. Each season was better than the last. It was very well written and the actors were superb! I didn't know Australian TV was so good! I didn't find out until the end that this was a true story.
