Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Steve Underwood I started watching this show on Netflix just last month . I love Australian shows and this has proved to be one of my favorites . I realize shows of this type must have villains and in the beginning Doris and Elizabeth prove to be most satisfactory in their roles . But I must say this . I am down to the last four shows of season three and if anything would make me stop watching this show it is the character of Regina . I absolutely hate that character and have found myself hitting the pause button and literally walking away from the screen to calm down when she is on pulling her vicious cruel and utterly vile dealings .And have even fast forwarded scenes with her in it . I used to like the character of George , but now with his relationship with Regina I am quickly coming to the conclusion that he is the most ignorant shortsighted and naive man in Australia for not seeing through Regina s underhanded and absolute self serving motives . I can only hope the producers do something to cut back on Reginas role in the show and bring in a respectable villain I can live with . I would hate to have to discontinue watching due to the character of Regina . I gave a rating of 8 merely because of Regina . Otherwise I would rate the show a 10 . The plot is excellent , except for Regina's machinations .Regina is without doubt the most disgusting villain I have ever seen in a television show . Much too despicable for the rest of the cast . Like putting Hitler in charge of a roomful of Jewish children .

drkemp-23590 Please help my curiosity. I missed an episode somewhere along the way and have no idea what happened to Gino's parents. I just see they are no longer around. Can someone help??? I LOVE this series. I am amazed that Regina is still around...and pray that she will be gone soon! I believe there is always a villain, but she's just nasty. Sarah has such insight to problems, she amazes me. I have wondered endlessly if Olivia and James will be back together after so many problems. Seems like they have insurmountable problems. Amazing how we dislike someone and then grow to love them later...Elizabeth was one of those. This series in on our local PBS station out of Atlanta and I think it's top notch. I applaud the producers, directors, the actors and the entire crew. Thank You!!!

lunga I only watched most the first season of this Australian period drama, which at first I thought it would be Downton Down Under, but its more like Dallas, Dynasty and the more recently, Revenge, where nothing actually happens in the show and most of the "drama" is self created.The series stars Marta Dusseldorp as Sarah Adams, a stranger returning to Australia after living in "Europe" for the last twenty years. Throughout the first few episodes, her story unravels and is truly original and has lots of potential for character development. Along her way she encounters the wealthy Bligh family in a small Australian town and instantly becomes entangled in their affairs. I won't bore you with the details, but basic premise of the show is that everyone on the show has a secret that they can't tell and all of the drama created centers around it. The aspect of the drama involves everyone's fear of scandal, which, while I'm sure existed in 1953, wasn't really Earth shattering. Certainly not like finding a Turkish diplomat dead in the bed of a teen aged heiress.What really turned me off was the introduction of new character, at about the 10 episode mark. Regina Standish, played by Jenni Baird, a relative by marriage to the Blighs enters the story with twirling mustache and all. After a couple of episodes of cringe-worthy shenanigans, I did a quick look on IMDb and Alexis Carrington, uhhh, I mean Regina Standish continues on in the series permanently.I felt like the victim of an elaborate bait and switch. The true star of the show, the villain, swaps out the top billed actress 10 episodes in and everyone else in the story become set dressing for the machinations of an ugly anti-Semite.No thank you.

pensman A series that relies on Anti-Semitism to work but good old hatred and envy run a close second. Sarah Adams, Marta Dusseldorp, is returning to Australia after being away for twenty years. On the ship bringing her home, she is working as a nurse and she stops passenger James Bligh, David Berry, from killing himself. This chance encounter brings her into the life of the Bligh family. The male head of the family George Bligh, Brett Climo, forms a relationship with Sarah which brings down the wrath of his mother Elizabeth, Noni Hazlehurst, and the vicious jealously of his sister-in- law Regina Standish, Jenni Baird. While there are subplots aplenty in this high-class soap, it is watching the extreme viciousness of the females that will make most watch. There is a homosexual son, illegitimate babies, family secrets revealed, more skeletons (secrets) than closets, the aftermath of WW II, and far too many coincidences. Only thing left out, barely, is an Oedipus complex. The series also has a great musical score. Great fun overall but can get a bit tendentious at times. I have to admit at the end of season two episode four both I and my wife decided enough. A soap usually strains credulity but this series just didn't know how to stop becoming a caricature or what Sherwood Anderson would have classified as a grotesque.
