Back to the Rafters

Man, what on earth were they thinking. They should have left it alone. I'm only 10 minutes into the First episode and it stinks. Bad acting and no emotion. An old character Playing a completely new character? Lol.

Ruby is painful.

Poor Rebecca Gibney. Best she forget this one.

Loved Packed to the Rafters. Was excited about this one. WHAT is WITH that character Ruby. Absolutely intolerable. Ruins the whole show. Melodramatic overacting. And that storyline with her? Ugh!! So disappointed.

What happened to all the extended and chosen family that was the theme of the whole series? It was okay, just okay. It didn't make me cry at all like the original.

I was excited to watch this new series.. So excited that I re watched S6 to refresh my memory.. The first few episodes of this new series were were true to form.. Nathan the insipid.. Everything is everyone else's fault.. Ben the brat.. Totally shocked that the world doesn't revolve around him.

Rachel the invisible.. Lucky to have escaped to New York.. Dave the oblivious.. Hear no evil, see no evil, etc.. Julie the magnificent.. The perfect mother, wife and daughter.. Ted the impenetrable.. Thank God for Ted.. As I said it started off okay.. Then it drifted off into something that is so "woke " and "lit" (they actually used the words).. If there's an issue on the planet, they highlighted it.. It just became really, really monotonous.. And if Ruby is an example of a modern 8 years old child, I fear for seniors of tomorrow..

The overall show is quite enjoyable. The character Ruby is played by an amazing little actress, but the character is written to be an insufferable little brat that will likely grow up to be jailed repeatedly for violent protesting.
