    Really enjoyed It

    If your looking for light entertainment and an enjoyable easy to watch show look no further. No it's not serious dramatic acting, it's a little bit funny, it's a little bit tongue in cheek and it has me wanting more. MKe a season 2 and the people that don't want a season 2 some advise just don't watch it and let those who do enjoy the show!

    Love this show!

    I don't understand the lack of ratings and reviews! This Aussie drama is a major step up to some of its predecessors (let's be honest, Aussie dramas are definitely not to the caliber of the US or UK). The acting, storyline and variation of story make this an easy watch and has me waiting for more each week!

    Love it!

    ..this one can last.. keep them all together..

    ..seems no matter what these folks down under set their minds to doing... they most times pull it off exceptionally well..

    ..this production has been building steam since the opening episode.. and you know a show is really good, when you wished they had released the entire season to streaming... because waiting that week seems never ending..

    ..the entire cast is terrific.. and there has to be a special mention regarding Madeline West.. for any woman, not yet forty years old.. looking as amazing as she does.. having a solid acting career.. along with a family with six children.. (one son and five daughters.. ranging from a thirteen year-old down to twins that are four).. now that is absolutely incredible..

    ... it's a show that's good and getting better.. always fun to watch.. to the powers that be.. please don't let this be a one or two season and done.. let it run..

    Very disappointed that there will be no season 3!!

    I got so invested in the characters and after season 2's cliffhanger ending, it's such a let-down to find out the show has been cancelled....wahhhtf! Another item dumped into that abandoned storehouse of tortured dissatisfaction. I'm going to start checking show series older than 2 years to see if they've been prematurely cancelled so I can avoid this in the future. Not really fair to us viewers and there should really be a warning or notice upfront to let potential viewers know what they're in for...

    Tense viewing.

    This is a Top Class Australian Drama. The acting is brilliant and the story line is full of surprises. It makes for very good viewing.

    • Trivia
      Jessica Multari of TV Week called the series "a new TV obsession". Multari found that "there's more to Ten's new Aussie series than socialites swanning around in stilettos supporting their sports star husbands. Scratch the surface and you'll find secrets, betrayal, deceit and heartache." Praising the character of Paige, Multari said she won the audience over with her country charm and stole all of the scenes she was in.
