Doctor Doctor

I have found this new TV series very entertaining. It is so nice to have a real TV drama to watch instead of all the hopeless reality TV nonsense. Over the years I have always tried to watch any new Australian TV series in preference to American shows. Some have missed the mark completely. The cast of Doctor Doctor are very convincing in their rolls and I am looking forward to next weeks episode. It has been awhile since a series has got me looking forward to next week, so well done to the script writers, directors and actors on a job well done. The fact that the show is set in a small country town gives it some extra charm. Lets hope that the story continues to entertain.

The show started strong with the expected tensions between Hugh and Penny but into season 3 I am giving up. As with other reviewers Ajax's childish and dangerous behavior is totally annoying. The writers somehow think a character who is blind to the situation his adapted father left him in and constantly shooting something up is a relatable person. From reading the episode descriptions it just keeps going down hill from here which is a pity as the scenery and even some of the hospital action are a real treat.

I have been watching this as the Heart Guy in the US. I was delighted at first but am finding the characters becoming a bit tiresome. How many times does Hugh have to self- destruct or can't Charlie ever think before she whines? These characters started out great but are becoming stereotypes as in a soap opera. Hugh appears to have grown a bit, Meryl is superb and the others Knights are forever immature. I hope the writers can evolve. The "cut to bonking" is sophomoric, physically uncomfortable and unnecessary for what could be a family show.

I stumbled across this show one night when I had nothing to watch. I've always been a big fan of Rodger Corser but this just made me love him more!! The cast is awesome and they all play their roles perfectly. The only thing I would say is that the show probably downplays the impact of drugs... for example Hugh will do drugs but then will come into work. Season 1 of the show is gold! You can't get better Aussie tv then season 1 of this show! I highly recommend Season 2 was good (not as good as 1 but still really enjoyable I still loved it). Season 3 there was a significant drop but it was still watchable, unfortunately season 4 wasn't good. I've rewatched the early seasons 4 times they were so good! Sadly the show has started to drop in quality Season 5 is on the way I hope that it picks up again cause I was disappointed with the last season. Still a huge fan of Rodger's though :)

I see that this show is called something different in Europe than it is here in the USA but I don't know why. It's a fantastic alternative to those tired of reality tv and zombie shows. This little gem is wonderful and full of heart, romance, excitement and dramedy too. The cast is top-notch and the only weak character in my opinion is Ajax but he gets better. I found him incredibly tedious and obnoxious series one but he greatly stepped up his game series two. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a heart or who has ever breathed in air.
