huge fan of the show. Found it recently through Amazon/Acorn. I am sick to death of cops, zombies, blood and guts, lawyers, swat teams. Disaster after disaster. And we wonder why people go back to their workplaces or nightclubs to blow people away. This show is smart, funny, charming - and it keeps getting better. It's at the top of my Top 10 list of all time TV shows. Performances are outstanding, as is the writing. Hope they do a Season 2 and that it goes on for a while. At the very least, I'd like to see the plot lines that were left hanging tied up. Well done all.
I'm enjoying this so far. I like the laconic dialogue and depiction of small town lifestyle.
However, I'm waiting for the usual Aussie malaise, the gradual descent into cliché driven soap. I'm hoping this time, Charlie doesn't allow herself to be seduced by Hugh, Matt doesn't die to make way for Hugh, Hugh doesn't have sex 'to make a baby' with Charley - he's a surgeon, let him supply his sperm the clinical way for a change.
How about a stable if quirky family situation that doesn't deteriorate into the usual melodramatic BS... There's plenty of material in the outback lifestyle to keep the series going for years if they do it right.

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'm in two minds about this 10 stars all the way for the hospital drama and penny relationship but his sad loser family are the most annoying characters I've ever seen on tv I'm another one who fast forwards ajax indeed if it wasn't for the magic of fast forward it don't think I would watch the show at all,the only surprise is Hugh who's supposed to be the obnoxious one is actually the nicest most rounded member of his family
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.
