    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!

    Loving this fast-paced show

    Am loving this new show and hope is renewed for a second season. Love that the story line is fast paced - lots is happening in a single episode. Feels like a typical Aussie show, don't take it too seriously. Am enjoying where this is going, scandalous, unpredictable and fun showing contrast between a typical Aussie girl and the more refined, glamorous types. Not really about footy!

    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!

    Great show with awesome actresses!

    It's a great show! I love the characters and they are played by great Actresses, popular people I know and like from other shows. It is full of drama and always keeps you interested. I love the friendship with the women. It has good messages about equality. I have seen season 1 and just finished season 2! That cliffhanger! season 3 please!!

    Suprisingly interesting

    Love the Melbourne location shots and the association with AFL. In my opinion this show isn't about club culture (AFL) but rather the relationships between player's, their partners and their "friendship" group. It could be set in any environment where the main protagonists have high public profiles and where the media and public have an insatiable appetite for "news". I'm interested to see where it ends up.

    • 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.
