I like the idea behind it and the acting was good and believable. Set early 80s i'd assume. It's a comedy drama I reckon and there were some wry touches to make you grin and some good bits of script. The story maybe a bit long winded and there were several sad bits but it moved along well and matched my expectations. I kept watching the film, even though expecting maybe, just a half an hour try out. I'd watch it again and the music tracks are good.... The actors were pretty much unknown to me so there's a certain freshness to the screen which makes a nice change. All in all a good and worthwhile watch.

As with the "Disappointed" review. Watched the first episode and yes, far too over the top. Couldn't sync. With any of the characters. Far fetched story. Not for me. Blatant use of all of the negative bits made it non-watchable in future. I've never been to Australia but I am English and I think that unless the story is based on proper facts and memories, there has been far too much licence taken with the script and screenplay. Acting so-so especially the Aussie Foreman bloke. The sequences just weren't a surprise at all. Everything negative just followed on from the last bit. I suppose everything will be "sorted" within 6 episodes! Even Michelle K is only in 4. Pity.
