Here in the UK we are groaning under the weight of political correctness, so this Aussie comedy drama was a breath of fresh air. The humour is wonderful, and the acting is sublime by all the characters. Its a brilliant concept for a show, and who wouldn't want to be treated by Roger Courcy ?
It was great that we saw two series back to back, and now we eagerly await the 3rd series, and understand that a fourth may be commissioned.
(Replying to VoyagerMN1986 .... he/she might be taken more seriously if they could spell ! and if I like something I write in praise, and conversely if I consider something to be less than good, then my star rating will reflect that )

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 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.
I liked Hugh, his coworkers and his mother Meryl right from the start. I eventually warmed up to the rest of the cast with the exception of Ajax. Ajax is completely unlikable, by the third season I was fast-forwarding any scene with that annoying man/child in it and nearly gave up on the show altogether because of him.

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.
