    Hard to watch....because it's so good.

    Wakefield is a difficult show to watch at time, partly because of the subject matter, and partly because it's so real.

    But the pay-off is a beautifully scripted story, superb direction, spectacular scenery and a set of flawless performances from an incredible Australian ensemble cast. Oh, and an Englishman as the star, although his Australian accent is so surprisingly good, I think we will make him an honorary Aussie.

    The final episode left me sitting quietly for a while contemplating what I'd just watched.

    If you want something that is seriously cerebral but still capable of making you burst out laughing, Wakefield is for you.

    Come on Eileen oh I swear what he means. At this moment, you mean everything!!!!

    Now this song is stuck in my head ha ha. I really enjoyed this series. I hope they come out with a season 2 to see what happened to Nik and all the other characters.

    Exquisite, stunning, a triumph of Australian television!

    Hypnotically riveting, this groundbreaking Australian drama is flawless from start to finish. The entire cast are magnificent, with strong, award worthy performances throughout the series. Whether or not there is another season, this series has forever changed me and will be included in my favourite Aussie productions of all time!

    One of the best I've seen in a long time

    I only just read that the main actor is English and it's blown my mind. What a great job at the Australian accent!

    I am so pleasantly surprised with this show. I absolutely loved every minute of it. It shows the realness in regards to mental illness. It shows that everyone has some sort of deep seeded issues they need to resolve. But it does it in a comedic way a lot of the time.

    The acting was amazing, especially from the main actor. The backdrop of the Blue Mountains was a nice bonus I really hope they make a season 2!

    Australian drama at its best

    Wakefield tackles different extremes of poor mental health with regular doses of black comedy. The heavy story lines are lifted by tenderness of humanity and set against the stunning backdrop of the blue mountains.

    All characters are genuine and well developed ,not just the main ones. The mystery is compelling and will keep you guessing until the end. Spectacular acting from all players. Really hoping for a second season as this was a spectacular production and completely original.
