Rosehaven

By many standards, Australians are a bit quirky, and among Australians, Tasmanians are even more quirky. This assessment is from someone who lived there for 5 years and loved the place and the people. Nowhere have I seen this quirkiness captured better than in this series. The characterizations are so good that they are sometimes painful, but you get pain when you get so close to the truth. If you like the first episode, then stay with it because it gets better.

The kind of best friend I would love to have would be Emma Dawes. The character has such loving exuberance. I love hers and Daniels friendship. They fight and then it's done. That is how all friendship should be like.

The humor is quiet and understated which is the kind of humor I love.

I am so disappointed I have just watched all of season 1 in the last week and there is only one more to watch (so far) of season 2.

I think my husband is wondering what has happened to me. I am feeling so playful, thanks to this lovely script.

I dig this show, it has a similar vibe to Wilfred but is more family friendly. Deserves recognition for reminding us of the phrase 'redheaded rat rooter'. Celia Pacquola must be a versatile actress as her character in this is really extroverted and annoying whereas in Utopia she was the straight man. Also there should be more screen time for Bruce.

I love the quirky humor and banter in this show. Here in the US, it's available on Sundance. If you don't get the channel, this show alone is worth the subscription price. Everyone I've recommended it too has loved it too.

Rosehaven brings a sense of humour similar to classics like The Castle, Strange Bedfellows and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The comedy series brings a variety of comedic forms, throws them in a blender and produces something beautiful.

Set in a small country town in Tasmania, McCallum real estate is a family owned business that seems to run into a list of hilarious problems that are only exaggerated by Daniel McCallum (Luke McGregor) and his best friends (Celia Pacquola) awkwardness and bad luck.

Luke and Celia give an outstanding performance and comedic presence completely compliment each other.

I would highly recommend this series and expect that it will also become a classic of Australian comedy.
