And it is made in Australia too. I'll bet the commercial stations try to hijack it.

Awesome show, the quality of the actors says something. Hugo Weaving, Nick Hope, amongst it. Get on board , the paper says its a Drama but "black humour" is spot on.

What is the difference between a snag (Sensitive New Age Guy) and a chop (Chauvenistic Homophobic Obstopelous Prick).

About a six pack.

Just finished watched tonight's episode. I really liked it. Lots of twists and turns.

Sort of I'm the same vein as Breaking Bad. No black or white. Just shades of grey between good and not so good.

I think they blew the budget on the stars. The rest of the cast look like escapees from the local drama club,

The first ep had some good one lines in it. Seemed to be more of a scene setter than a barrel of laughs. Hopefully it will continue on to produce something good. We need a new quirky comedy.

I reckon it's a cracking show, loved the first two episodes! Cleaver's wit/sense of humor is hilarious imo, very clever writing.

1st Ep was good but a bit patchy, really hitting it's straps last night and some really funny scenes. most of the time it doesn't try to hit you over the head either.

Rich Rox has always been underated and good to see him in a custom fit role. Plays the cad perfectly. Should be a corker series if the writing stays on form.

Crikey! Lisa is out to leave Maggie Doyle behind (with her togs) once and for all.

Itty bitty they may be but better out that in any day! Guess there was some RR @rse shots for the laydees too.. ("Get outta the way Rich I'm tryin to scope Maggie's cans!!")

Some of the best script writing in ages for Australian Television. A must watch on Thursday nights now. i think it can be classified in the Dramedy genre (Drama Comedy)

Also good to see (on two levels ) an aussie actress that doesn't feel the need to have any enhancements unlike her hollywood counterparts.

Bit of an average episode last night but was expected for the 3rd or 4th ep.

Reckon last night's ep was the 1st one actually shot by the production mob.

Usually a new series actually shoots the 3rd or 4th ep 1st so any rough bits in the making can be ironed out so the 1st ep that actyually screens is running smoothly.

Still - some nice wobblies and some funny bits. Hopefully back to cracking form next week.

thought the same funky....but we did actually see some drama rather than humour, which is necessary otherwise we would tire of cleavers shallowness by the next ep
