Dr Harrow

If it doesn't get you in straight away then persist a little. The characters develop nicely as the writers find their stride and the stories gain momentum. Definitely worth a watch.

Quite like the way the camera stays on Harrow's face for too long, as he portrays his angst at each new situation. The director is saying....."see my international star drawcard." All good fun. The shots of Brisbane CBD where Harrow lives on his boat are fun for us locals. The old dental school in Turbot St is used as his work location - good call. It does get you in, even though it's not polished. Sort of like Brisbane itself.

I really like Harrow. Was so upset when they canceled Forever so this helps make up for it. But I still prefer Forever cuz I love the immortality and Judd Hursh's role.

The main stories are great, but why the objectionable teenagers are in it is beyond me.

A nice piece of Australian entertainment with fine acting, engaging storylines, bright visual effects and smooth, entertaining flow.

It doesn't quite know whether it is all forensic pathology or it is "soap" melodrama; whereas the first season was the best IMO.

Each season drifts more toward not-credible melodramatic plots surrounding Harrow's personal life. That's not really good and weak. It shows that the writers are almost out of idea, which strongly showed itself in season 3.

Nevertheless, it is quite entertaining and the charismatic Ioan Gruffudd never disappoints. He's one of my favorite actors.
