Rosehaven

Rosehaven brings a sense of humour similar to classics like The Castle, Strange Bedfellows and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The comedy series brings a variety of comedic forms, throws them in a blender and produces something beautiful.

Set in a small country town in Tasmania, McCallum real estate is a family owned business that seems to run into a list of hilarious problems that are only exaggerated by Daniel McCallum (Luke McGregor) and his best friends (Celia Pacquola) awkwardness and bad luck.

Luke and Celia give an outstanding performance and comedic presence completely compliment each other.

I would highly recommend this series and expect that it will also become a classic of Australian comedy.

A gorgeous episodic series that allows you to dip in and out at leisure. Beautiful landscape and sweet settings that are real. It reminds me of Seinfeld as a show about nothing but with a delicate and delightful Australian sensibility. A truly feel good series that is easy to watch before going to bed because it leaves you feeling happy and content.

I love the quirky humor and banter in this show. Here in the US, it's available on Sundance. If you don't get the channel, this show alone is worth the subscription price. Everyone I've recommended it too has loved it too.

Lyrical setting. Quirky direction and relationship between key actors, Celia Pacquola, Luke McGregor and Kris McQuade.

A welcome respite from the ubiquitous edgier comedy that too often relies on shock and awe to gather followers. In Rosehaven, actors' lines are put out there without blazing neon lights telling viewers how to react.

More and more viewers seem to be seeking location interest and this one gives you heaps. Tasmania has some beautiful and frequent changes of scenery within a short distance and the series has taken advantage of that.

Plot looks promising although the characters have carried the show so far.

Well promoted by the ABC which isn't always the case in comedy.

By many standards, Australians are a bit quirky, and among Australians, Tasmanians are even more quirky. This assessment is from someone who lived there for 5 years and loved the place and the people. Nowhere have I seen this quirkiness captured better than in this series. The characterizations are so good that they are sometimes painful, but you get pain when you get so close to the truth. If you like the first episode, then stay with it because it gets better.
