I really enjoyed this series. It had me crying, angry, happy, and sad. It was a very emotional series. Each season was better than the last. It was very well written and the actors were superb! I didn't know Australian TV was so good! I didn't find out until the end that this was a true story.
..so it's over.. it will be missed... it wasn't always great television, but for sure it was mostly all very good TV
..the cast was solid across the board, and all production values high
..when there is just sooo much not worth watching that seems to never end... to loose one that was looked forward to week to week leaves a void..
..Australia keeps putting out high-quality shows... keep 'em coming.. you have a most grateful North American audience thanking you..!!

What a great saga and what superb acting! Thank you so much for giving us 6 seasons of this wonderful series. The story remained strong throughout the 6 seasons.Thank you for giving us such quality entertainment and thank you for knowing when to stop!
This Australian series has an excellent story line, cast, and location. It is just a beautiful story with just enough suspense to keep you wanting more. I am of the age that I lived through these times and prejudices and can truly relate. The 50s were a beautiful and unique postwar period for the entire world. I praise the actors for their ability to draw you into the story and to stir personal emotions. Noni Hazelhurst, as Elizabeth Bligh, is amazing in her portrayal of the matriarch, with her unsuccessful attempts at controlling her family. I have three more episodes to watch and am saddened there aren't more. I like the mid-century staging and costumes. Bravo, and very well done! Thank you.
This is one of the best TV series to come out in a long time...we live in the States but tend to watch English shows vs American 90% of the time since the reality show trend is a total waste. I'm a Brit expat and husband is American, we both loved this post WW2 drama. The cast is superb and make this series all the more compelling. The 50s' feel is well done, as is the portrayal of the three generations and how they cope with their different - and unexpected yet similar - experiences. Not to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, the series generally takes us to fresh plots/characterizations in ways other shows haven't. Bravo! We saw series 2 on the BBC and anxiously await its screening on Acorn Media next month. Series 3 is apparently being filmed now to be shown later in the year with a 4th to follow. Looking forward to seeing it -- why can't this type of series be shown here at the same time? Why do US audiences have to wait a few years or worse watch a US-made remake that usually flops? Don't the studios understand that we are not idiots and enjoy watching intelligent shows?
