I see that this show is called something different in Europe than it is here in the USA but I don't know why. It's a fantastic alternative to those tired of reality tv and zombie shows. This little gem is wonderful and full of heart, romance, excitement and dramedy too. The cast is top-notch and the only weak character in my opinion is Ajax but he gets better. I found him incredibly tedious and obnoxious series one but he greatly stepped up his game series two. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a heart or who has ever breathed in air.

huge fan of the show. Found it recently through Amazon/Acorn. I am sick to death of cops, zombies, blood and guts, lawyers, swat teams. Disaster after disaster. And we wonder why people go back to their workplaces or nightclubs to blow people away. This show is smart, funny, charming - and it keeps getting better. It's at the top of my Top 10 list of all time TV shows. Performances are outstanding, as is the writing. Hope they do a Season 2 and that it goes on for a while. At the very least, I'd like to see the plot lines that were left hanging tied up. Well done all.
The show started strong with the expected tensions between Hugh and Penny but into season 3 I am giving up. As with other reviewers Ajax's childish and dangerous behavior is totally annoying. The writers somehow think a character who is blind to the situation his adapted father left him in and constantly shooting something up is a relatable person. From reading the episode descriptions it just keeps going down hill from here which is a pity as the scenery and even some of the hospital action are a real treat.
I'm enjoying this so far. I like the laconic dialogue and depiction of small town lifestyle.
However, I'm waiting for the usual Aussie malaise, the gradual descent into cliché driven soap. I'm hoping this time, Charlie doesn't allow herself to be seduced by Hugh, Matt doesn't die to make way for Hugh, Hugh doesn't have sex 'to make a baby' with Charley - he's a surgeon, let him supply his sperm the clinical way for a change.
How about a stable if quirky family situation that doesn't deteriorate into the usual melodramatic BS... There's plenty of material in the outback lifestyle to keep the series going for years if they do it right.

I'm in two minds about this 10 stars all the way for the hospital drama and penny relationship but his sad loser family are the most annoying characters I've ever seen on tv I'm another one who fast forwards ajax indeed if it wasn't for the magic of fast forward it don't think I would watch the show at all,the only surprise is Hugh who's supposed to be the obnoxious one is actually the nicest most rounded member of his family
