Wonderful character development!

Thanks for the memories!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Totally addictive...can't just watch one. The storyline and characters journeys, keeps me hooked!

My wife and I find this show very entertaining, though there are often times I find myself rolling my eyes. The heroin starts of as a nun (sister) who, after several episodes in, is actually Jewish (because nothing screams JUDAISM more than a blond hair blue-eyed Aryan married to Jesus). She is the moral conscience of the show, because in today's world morality means illegally disposing of a body, contemplating abortion, having sex outside of marriage, etc. Oh, and she is a Leftist/Communist freedom fighter/activist, at a time in history when Leftists/Communists killed people by the tens of millions. The anti-Communists in this show are either dimwitted or outrageously cruel. The rest of the cast seems heavily populated with gays (perhaps an exaggeration on my part), but since the writer, Bevan Lee, is gay, well, you write what you know. Never mind that in real life gays only comprise 2.8% of the population. Everyone in the shows needs to be taught a lesson in acceptance (they do call shows like this "Programming" for a reason). It is however a very captivating show and I will no doubt continue watching.

A cheesy down under soap. Entertaining though and never slow. Plenty of bad people straight out of central casting to set one's teeth gnashing. A heroine who is not only Jewish (convert) and a holocaust survivor but able to glare down and riposte with all of the bad guys.Throw in a pouting gay guy, and a marriage between an upper class Aussie and an Italian immigrant farmer and the kettle is always boiling. Oh did I forget the changeling? This latest season even has an Inspector Lastrade thrown in for good measure. Enjoy!

A series that relies on Anti-Semitism to work but good old hatred and envy run a close second. Sarah Adams, Marta Dusseldorp, is returning to Australia after being away for twenty years. On the ship bringing her home, she is working as a nurse and she stops passenger James Bligh, David Berry, from killing himself. This chance encounter brings her into the life of the Bligh family. The male head of the family George Bligh, Brett Climo, forms a relationship with Sarah which brings down the wrath of his mother Elizabeth, Noni Hazlehurst, and the vicious jealously of his sister-in- law Regina Standish, Jenni Baird. While there are subplots aplenty in this high-class soap, it is watching the extreme viciousness of the females that will make most watch. There is a homosexual son, illegitimate babies, family secrets revealed, more skeletons (secrets) than closets, the aftermath of WW II, and far too many coincidences. Only thing left out, barely, is an Oedipus complex. The series also has a great musical score. Great fun overall but can get a bit tendentious at times. I have to admit at the end of season two episode four both I and my wife decided enough. A soap usually strains credulity but this series just didn't know how to stop becoming a caricature or what Sherwood Anderson would have classified as a grotesque.
