Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
reggiesprake I found the second series very hard to accept, especially anything to do with (Jims') kidney failure. I found it very disappointing how the producers trivialised his so called condition. Any research into dialysis treatment or actual kidney transplants would have shown their incompetent portrayal of both. I feel for everyone who watched the series and has any form of kidney failure especially if they are doing dialysis treatment to stay alive, let alone waiting to hopefully receive a kidney transplant. Another unbelievable portrayal was the recovery period for both. Hugh is shown recovering after his opp/heart attack, then in the same scene he is shown running and jumping into a Mustang. Superman, eat your heart out. Obviously people who have been through the recovery period in real life must feel like wimps. It is great to actually have a locally produced Australian Drama series instead of having so called reality shows being force fed to viewers by every channel. Netflix etc have never looked more inviting. I hope you have success with the show but some thought on how the story lines affect real people with real problems should be considered.
mflflowers Really enjoying this show, excellent casting with some fine acting, very impressed, the story line is gripping and keeps me chuckling, I have always liked Australian television, watched some really good shows, this one is exceptionally good with believable story lines, it makes a nice change to have a lighthearted show that keeps you coming back for more, keep up the good work guys, looking forward to season 2!!!
purejoy-76875 I have found this new TV series very entertaining. It is so nice to have a real TV drama to watch instead of all the hopeless reality TV nonsense. Over the years I have always tried to watch any new Australian TV series in preference to American shows. Some have missed the mark completely. The cast of Doctor Doctor are very convincing in their rolls and I am looking forward to next weeks episode. It has been awhile since a series has got me looking forward to next week, so well done to the script writers, directors and actors on a job well done. The fact that the show is set in a small country town gives it some extra charm. Lets hope that the story continues to entertain.
neilmcginn-00991 Touted as a family-oriented series I was expecting a highly entertaining episode (#1) of this new series. It NEARLY came up to my expectation: 1 - I was expecting someone maybe a little more 'hardened' - an example being when he wrestled with his brother and seemingly 'over-nursed' his sore hand from the wrestle (I was hoping that Hugh would cream him); and 2 - I wasn't sure if some of the language used was appropriate for a so-called family show!!! However, I was reasonably entertained, and expect to enjoy the series for the rest of the season. Moreover, I DID find myself having a few laughs during this initial episode, and Rodger Corser does a good job - his cowboy attitude displayed in Dr Hugh Knight is definitely a sure winner nevertheless. I DO commend the Australian television industry to CONTINUE producing quality drama to not only an existing acceptable level - but an OUTSTANDING level. * * (Update) * * HOWEVER - the series went on for a few weeks I have warmed up to this show even further. It has become VERY entertaining (although a bit far-fetched in places). Well done to Roger Corser. Filmed in a part of the Central West of NSW it provides for a breathtaking backdrop for the fictional town of Wyhope. Claudia Karvan has been an acclaimed actress and I commend her on her work in this series. It's about to come to an end for this season - I HOPE that there is a Season 2! * * I also couldn't help notice the blue 2016 Hyundai Elantra that Roger Corser drives in the show. Is that a co-incidence or does it have something to do with the Hyundai commercials that he used to do ... ? lol.
