I have just stumbled across this lovely little Australian comedy. I've about finished the first season and I'm enjoying it so much. The writers have done a wonderful job and while I'm not familiar with the actors being from the U S, they are great. I'm a big fan of many British comedies and this is in the same vein. Not in your face, loud and obnoxious but quirky and subtle and sometimes goofily funny. I'm hoping that as it's only two seasons they got a chance to give it a somewhat proper sendoff. I will say that I found Susie a bit off putting at first but she's much better now and the actor who plays the musician is perfection.

On Sunday nights, we like to watch bad disaster movies. Ice storms, volcanoes under major cities, tidal waves taking out Wasington D C. We are there! This was about average for what it was. Would I watch it again? No! But it was a fun way to waste an hour and a half on Sunday evening. The special effects and cgi were not bad. Most of the cast was irritating. The worst were the girlfriend Barbie in a suit and the major. My husband was in the air force and this guy was the worst representative of the military I think I've seen on film. That hair and facial shrub would have never even begin to cut it. The filmmakers should have tried a bit harder there. If you are a fan of this kind of film you could find way better but I'm sure there are worse as well.
