All Saints

493 episodes of a great Australian medical drama. Constantly evolving with the comings and goings of characters. This is the strength of this show. The ability to change and evolve into something else but still maintaining integrity. It isn't what it started out being and I believe only one character was there from beginning to the last day. Von was the glue. Congratulations on a fantastic series.

The best damn show that has ever aired! All Saints is a show that should've never been axed. But unfortunately all the good things must come to an end! The acting, the production, the drama, the personality's of the characters and the script writing in general is out of this world. I refuse to watch any of today's tv shows because they don't come close to the impact that All Saints had.

Its a great Aussie Medical Drama and is like the American TV show "ER" and is more realistic than that It has a great cast of people since Terry Sullivan left last year and is doing well. And it should be on TV for years to come.As long as it doesn't get Americanised then it will probably get canceled cause no one likes when Aussie shows get over dramatized like ER. The actors who are in the show are young and have a bright. They should keep the show going for as long as possible. Bring on another 10 years of All Saints. They just need to keep it on in its usual time slot of 8:30pm on Tuesday nights and then they wont have a problem keeping there viewers

All Saints is the best. That was decided by the Logie (Australian TV award) that it won for Best Drama, over constant favorite Blue Heelers. The combination of solid characters, good writing, moving performances and fantastic actors who all work well together makes this show the delight that it is. It's also not troubled by dealing with the tough issues, as was shown by earlier episodes where they dealt with male rape and de-tox trials. Filmed in Sydney, this show may occassionally slip into the unrealistic (as do all shows on TV) but other than that, it's fantastic.

This is enjoyable enough but make no mistake it is not a ''drama'' its a soap opera set in a hospital. It has all the old soap opera clichés like when two characters are innocently comforting each other and they get ''caught'' they behave like they are guilty of something instead of just acting normal (if you have nothing to feel guilty about you don't act guilty right? Well not in the world of soaps) or a character is in a major crisis and after a pep talk they go back to normal the next episode as if it never happened. Or they are hard working and seem on top of things at work but they are hiding a troubled personal life. Also the heavy focus on the personal lives of the staff reveal generic soap opera plots which are not dependent on the hospital setting.

Still its fun spotting all the familiar faces from shows such as Prisoner, Home and Away and Neighbours who turn up in every episode. Judith McGrath is also very good as cynical Von.
