mccleods daughters, what a joke lol.
hehehehe. i didn't say that i liked it or watched it . just trying to point
out that many do run quite a number of seasons, as opposed to the one hit
wonders of many us shows.
sea patrol is dissapointing. i thought it would be better.
i'd really like to see thank god you're here (aus) back on here again. was
very happy to see the first episode, but none since

thanks for the upload. i missed it on tv and want to watch it so i'll watch
these and catch it on tv.
usually if i miss the first ep i don't watch a show at all. so this is great
being able to get it from here.

cracking first two episodes - looks like it has some great potential.
so far, not a patch on stingers (don't think that there will ever be a cop show
that will be) but a great start.
very much looking forward to the coming weeks.

agreed. it's certainly better than your average cop show from anywhere in the
world and i'm including inspector rex, the bill, csi(s) etc in the average category.
it's definitely not up there with blue murder or phoenix but it's probably on a
par with wildside in my opinion.
i would urge anyone from somewhere other than australia to give it a go,
especially if their only australian televisual experience has come from
neighbours or home and away.
one of the best things about the show is how coloquial it is and how much truer
the characters are to the australian identity than most other programs. i'm not
saying they nailed it by any stretch of the imagination and it's going to be a
loooooooooong time before we see an australian version of the wire but it's
definitely raised the bar. for that, we should all be thankful.

what's with the bogus suburb names...? it's set in a fictitious
melbourne/sydney type city.
what do you mean? i could have sworn that they said the house fire at the end
was in melton? 'cause that made me laugh. good luck getting from the city hq
to melton before the whole block is in flames thats got to be at least
3/4 hr drive!!!!

er, because that's what was written in an article last week in smh.
didn't look like melbourne city to me... or maybe they are doing that on purpose & making it vague...
sea patrol is pretty lame. compare that to sbs's recent drama the circuit & you can see that budgets don't
equal better television. probably made on the catering budget of sea patrol & it still shits all over channel
9s effort.

it certainly looked like melbourne to me.
i think the tram was a bit of a giveaway.
this show is certainly better than sea patrol. it needs to develop, but i think
it has potential to be as good or better than u.s. and u.k. shows.

wtf is going on here?
the show is terrible.
it's australian.
after all this time, they are still making cop shows only marginally better
than 'bluey'.
sad but true. i have never seen such lousy acting - maybe when my kids were
infants in the school play.

what an odd thing to say.
you must have been watching with your eye patch on whilst scratching your arse
with your peg leg whilst your parrot screeched something nonsensical in your ear.
you certainly don't seem to have been watching the show too closely.

@satansmanservant
"you must have been watching with your eye patch on whilst scratching your arse

now that is what you call an odd thing to say.
i wouldn't bother posting my moans except for the fact that there are so many
posts recommending what is a patently poor-quality show - and even suggesting
that it is up there with the current crop of shit-hot us stuff.
i just don't understand what is going on.
sorry.
by the way, it's not terrible because it's australian, it's terrible because
it's terrible. the dialogue stinks - it could have been written by a ten-year
old. it's like watching one of the third-rate itv cop shows that get churned
out by the likes of linda la f*cking plante all the time over here in the uk -
but not even that good.

i liked it. i used to live in europe and the english cops show(detectives as
they call them there). are just as good. they don't give a way who did it right
away so you can keep guessing to the end. this one is going in my rss filter
list....
