Aussie Salvage Squad

The first series of this show was great fun with likeable characters and interesting scenarios. Unfortunately the second series loses the magic with a new ops manager who takes the charisma and fun out of the show that made the first series so charming and good fun. Worth a watch, though.

I've been watching this season 1 and it's an ok series. It's a little outlandish and the boss seems a little incapable at times (as does his crew). It's mildly enjoyable or I wouldn't be on season 3 now. But, I wouldn't call it a High-Quality show. Honestly, I thought it may have been a put together show of actors during the 1st season. But, an internet search actually found that they've been in business since 2007. You would think they would be better than they are with nearly 15 years experience. Or, maybe they're just 'TV Show Drama'ing' it up for the cameras. Anyways, it's mildly enjoyable. If there's nothing better on to watch, give it a try.

Luke keeps stating Christopher is a $400k tank retriever, if you actually look online at the model of Christoper(M1070E1) its starting price in American Auctions starts at $15K, it may have been $400K when it was new 20 plus years ago, He really needs to stop bragging he owns a $400K piece of Machinery .Watching the recoveries they do, they are seriously dodgy and unsafe , no consideration of surroundings and especially safety of his team and others, I am surprised Work Safe has not investigated the company. He really needs to invest in proper training in Dogging and Rigging for himself and his team, and maybe a few other course instead of flying by the seat of his pants.

The lack of tools is incredible, they try to recover a little cabin cruiser. The little water pump is hired and due to go back, they tow it with a little dingy thing. Then don't even have a trailer to get it out the water. On the plus side they don't seem to be phased by the challenges plus a couple of cute girls who make the workday watchable.

This show is a crock. All these people do is moan and groan about their jobs. I actually think they set up these jobs for themselves because nobody in their right mind would want to hire these professional whiners. Their equipment keeps mysteriously breaking down all the time. All you hear is how hard the job is, how far away from home they are and how a thunderstorm that threatens the job is minutes away but never happens. It's the same every episode. If you don't like your job don't do it. If you do enjoy your job then stop bloody complaining about it. Every episode is the same. Boring. Don't bother watching.
