Darby and Joan

Not blood, gore and sex ... but GREAT chemistry. Absolutely LOVE the interaction between Greta & Bryan. Beautiful and handsome - NOT the fake beauty on American TV. We love it. Each show is good and builds towards the conclusion but also, THANKFULLY, toward another season. Takes advantage of the scenery and culture of Australia and Queensland. Interesting supporting characters in each episode. PLEASE keep the seasons coming. I can see these two characters together for many seasons and it would not be boring watching the relationship grow. LOVE LOVE LOVE Bryan Brown and the REAL mature Greta Scacchi! THANK YOU.

This show is a breath of fresh air, filled to the brim with treasured Aussie actors and actresses. I really enjoyed Brian Brown and Greta Scachi's chemistry. It is an easy and entertaining watch, with stunning scenery. Highly recommend.

I happened upon this show on my Acorn subscription. I wasn't expecting anything, because I had never heard of any of the actors, however, it caught my interest and I have been enjoying it very much. I think the key is that it is an easy show to watch. There is the main mystery unravelling around Joan's husband which is an ongoing plot point. And then there are small mysteries in each episode that get concluded by the end of the episode while simultaneously revealing more information about Joan's husband. The writing is good. The characters, although sometimes unusual, seem real and interesting. The drama doesn't become annoying by watching the characters self sabotage themselves at every turn like most of the soap opera'ish series I've seen. The scenery is awesome, although some of the dangerous species in Australia are concerning. ;-).

Anyone looking for the extreme detail and meticulous clue gathering of a CSI show will be disappointed. Most of the plots are rather simple and solved with minimal sleuthing, but that is part of the shows charm. Even the dangerous encounters won't get you too far onto edge of your seat as the criminals give up the goods rather easily, so the show is light hearted in that regard.

Anyway, I'm enjoying it and would like to see another few seasons.

Just what we need after the graphic sex and violence over-excess of 'Outlander' and 'Game of Dragons" A gentle romantic comedy with two late middle aged retirees trekking through rural Australia solving simple ethically ambiguous crimes as they go, with gently bickering witty repartee. Darby and Joan being the perfect title. Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi show that over 60's have still got it and make a very attractive couple without resorting to full frontal nudity and waggling bare bottoms. The two of them are so perfectly matched one would think they had 'been together now for 40 years and it don't seem a day too much'. OK, the plots are simple, but if we need violent crime all we have to do is read tody's papers. I loved the line "My sister was married to Darby a few wives back!"

Although many reviews have placed the setting in the outback, it is set in the Queensland costal area.

Brian Brown always the gentleman was great I enjoyed his character from beginning to end, can't wait till next season. Big surprise was the LACK OF profanity, sex & nudity considering its Aussie made. Well done writers, actors , producers& team👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I think there were a couple "S" maybe "Bloo.." in FaceTime chats with Joan's (Greta Scacchi) gay daughter & her wife.. however the story was so good kept me guessing most way through. I do enjoy a good mystery. And ohhh the countryside is exquisite it will draw holiday makers to north east Queensland for sure💓 Darby & Joan is the most enjoyable show I've been able to watch in years, as most are just to much to see & hear for me anyway.... WELL DONE 👍
