GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

greysanatomy512 This is honestly one of the most brilliant and beautiful shows that I have ever had the absolute pleasure to watch. It is one of those shows that you can easily sit down and marathon through an entire disc or two in one sitting. The characters are really well fleshed out as this is more of a character driven show. The countryside setting isn't always my favorite but for Mcleod's I make an exception as Drover's run is now one of my favorite television show settings. The scenery is always breath-taking and the dialog is really intelligent as the conversation flows naturally. When disaster strikes it hurts the viewer to watch their favorite characters pass on, especially since the actors and actresses have hardly been on anything else it makes it all the more realistic when they depart (which is a shame because they are really talented actresses). The Australian landscape is hauntingly beautiful and adds to the seductive factor of the show. The characters leave too soon. The new characters (although they do take a bit of getting used to) end up stealing the show, especially Regan, Kate and Moira. The soundtrack is from an Australian singer- Rebecca Lavelle- and sometimes the actors of the show, such as Michala Banas, record their own songs for the show. The show is definitely one not to miss and if I wasn't going to spoil anything for you I would honestly chat with you for 10 hours straight on the entire series. An extremely underrated series please give it a watch.

barrydavis OK, I'm a man that sometimes watches female-centric programming. Mostly because I like to understand the opposite sex, which I love. And, the women on this show are very attractive. But, like most hetero men, don't always understand what's in their heads. So, I thought I could learn a few things while watching this series from down under. Understandably, and based on all the other feedback from this series, it has been given high marks for story, character development, setting, landscape, actor performance, and everything else. All well-deserved. However, I was especially surprised and amazed at a male-centric episode in Season 5, episode 31, titled "Body and Soul" near the end of the season. I want to recognize Fin Edquist as the writer (I looked it up on IMDb.com) It was the best episode I had seen so far. I won't spoil it, but it was just amazing to see what the men of the story could do. They came through for their women, and brothers, and best friends in spades. Just the kind of heart wrenching story even a guy can appreciate. Keep it coming.

hmlnkfam Thanks to the WE television network, Americans have been able to fall in love with this well made and unique dramatic television series. The relationship that grows between the step sisters Tess and Claire after their father dies is realistic and wonderful to watch.Then there's the addition of Becky the neighborhood "bad girl" who comes from a truly horrible home and is raped by her employer, a "respected" shop owner... She escapes to Dovers Run and works beside the sisters, Meg the house keeper, cook, and friend of Claire, and Meg's flighty spoiled daughter Jodi.I actually found some parts of this series extremely difficult to watch because it portrays life on a ranch so realistically... cattle dieing from disease or poisoning. Sheep bought cheap because they are so skinny and bedraggled many die along the road when they are forced to walk back to the ranch after the livestock truck breaks down, and the most heart wrenching, their fathers horse is diagnosed with a cancer mass that is causing the animal a great deal of pain... Claire takes him back to where she found him standing beside her father who had died of a massive heart attack. You see her crying and pointing a rifle at the horses head, she says she is sorry, and... well you get the picture...I had to watch Series 1 twice before I could get passed the realism and enjoy the interweaving of personalities both male and female.Now that hasn't been hard to watch... There are some gorgeous men to look at on this show! Nor has it been hard to watch these 5 women become a team who do what they were told could not be done... successfully keep the ranch solvent and eventually profitable.I hope you get to see this nearly perfect television series. It is not a waste of time... indeed it's quite the opposite. Now if they will just release the series on DVD in the US, I'll be in Auz heaven!

seachange_3227 McLeod's Daughters has been the most successful Australian television series over the last few years, and it's not hard to see why.
