Valutazione di Jack_Me
I enjoyed this comedy series very much. It was over the top but an outrageously funny spoof. And the actors were a delight to watch.
I do have to say that I was disappointed in the series final episode as it seemed to pack far too many unfinished and potential storyline threads into it, to the point that it came off as chaotic. That said, if there is a second series I will watch.
I interrupt this review to make a comment as per the title of this review.
How can someone watch one episode, or two, then pan the whole series and give it a one-star rating? I find that very annoying. When I read the reviews and find that obvious unfair treatment admitted. When I like something, I'm always curious to read others opposite opinions, but it is annoying to find that those reviewers never even watched the series they are panning so negatively.

This is FUN! It's a spectacle! Don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it for what it is.
Frankly, it's a soap opera where the twists and turns of the storyline, and the characters do not often have logic, nor follow-through, nor resolution.
Much of the action is simply for the drama of the moment, and then the viewer is moved on to the next event in these characters' lives. It is not a documentary on real life in Australia in the 1950s. Although it has enough costumes, sets, and atmosphere of that decade to keep you grounded in it. And it is not even a real story with character development and resolution. After all it was written to order. Possibly first two series, with cancelation, then suddenly another series, then another, so the writer and the "story" had to keep going. Creatively developing more intrigue. But the characters you meet in the first episode, do not really develop into the characters who finish the series. They are who they are then at the beginning, and then they are who they are when it ends. I really don't mean this as a negative because as I say, it's a really fun spectacle, not a deep thoughtful analytical treatise. Villains are villains, and heroes/heroines are simply the "good guys" in this weekly serial.
Sure there is some character development, the characters do occasionally get fleshed out with bits of background, but actually most remain fairly one-dimensional only to serve this entertainment spectacle. It's meant to be watched and enjoyed for the moment. Don't waste your time trying to make it seem logical, nor on piecing the time-line or story continuity. It's not meant that way and it just doesn't stand up to that kind of thought nor analysis. Just watch, just enjoy, just laugh, just shriek and just look forward to the next episode.
I really enjoyed it once I realized it was not going to be anything other than the glorious spectacle it is.
