Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

If you enjoyed the UK show, Heartbeat, you will probably enjoy Blue Heelers. The storyline is similar; a small police force in a small town. The senior office is a Seargeant. He doesn't have Blaketon's sharp edge, but he is believable and likable.We have just finished watching Season 1 (45 episodes) so cannot speak for the whole series, but my wife and I found the characters to be well defined; the story lines to be interesting and the plots along the same line as Heartbeat.An interesting difference between the two is that Blue Heelers has a woman PC--indeed Episode one tells of her joining the station. The Aussie macho man attitude towards women comes out occasionally, without making an issue of it.Now, if they just had a Claude Jeremiah Greengrass it would rate a 10.

Blue Heelers, is truly one of Australia's most successful television programs. However i feel that the current series is really de-grading to the previous series. What i mean is that it's is just not as good as it once was. I feel that now the show has been axed, it is just too over due. Blue Heelers has definitely run it's course and in my opinion should have ended with the death of Maggie Doyle (Lisa McCune). The reasons for this is because Magggie was Blue Heelers, she was indisputably the most successful cast memeber and really captured the audience and was the 'golden girl' in Mount Thomas. Her sudden death was devastating and should have resulted in the show being canceled.

Could someone please revamp this series. It tried to in early 2005 by killing of Jane Allsop's character of Snr. Const Jo Parish which was a mistake, and than it got rid of Sgt. Ben Stewart played by Paul Bishop which was another mistake and then they turned good country cop Snr Sgt. Tom Croydon into a depressed mongrel and guess what - Another Mistake!!!Though after all that they did bring in some good characters like PC Kelly O'Rourke(Samantha Tolj), DSC Amy Fox(Rachel Gordon) and Snr. Const Alex Kirby (Charlie Clausen) which is good but they still need to get rid of Const. Evan "Jonesy" Jones played by Ditch who is a bad actor and the character is boring, Snr. Const Susie Raynor because she is boring, PC Joss Peroni who is annoying, uptight and thinks he cool when he's not and Chris Rilley played by Julie Nihill because she is fat, boring and pointless to the entire show. I also think the show needs to bring in some story lines instead of a different case each week, maybe bring in a Jack The Ripper style storyline to the show and maybe build a shopping centre in Mt.Thomas so the cops have regular place to find bad guys or wrong doings instead of having a domestic to start the show off every episode

Genuinely intriguing long-running series about a police station in a small country town. Consistently good writing and acting helped to make "Blue Heelers" one of the best and most-watched homegrown dramas on Australian television, arguably spawning other admirable programs such as "water Rats" and "Murder Call" (all three were and are made by Hal McElroy (spelling?) productions). "Blue Heelers" utilised the careers of well-established actors (John Woods and Martin Sachs) at the same time as providing a head start for less well-known but still talented actors (Grant Bowler, Lisa McCune, Tasma Walton etc.). Genuinely three dimensional character writing helped avoid the cliche saccharine nature too common to the genre, all of the characters can be seen to be realistic, they all have their faults and personal obstacles. Although it can be quite often seen to be a little unrealistic, why should a town as small as Mt. Thomas have so much crime and intrigue??, this is easily forgivable as the viewer gets immersed in the storyline. "Blue Heelers" utilises the continually evolving sub-plot to further distance itself from the routine one-case-an-episode formula. Will PJ and Maggie ever get together? What about Dash and her fight against breast cancer etc. The characters have also established themselves with the Australian public as a source of concern. The higher rating episodes have been those involving major life changes for the main characters, recently Maggie's struggle with her heroin addicted brother and Nick Schultz's departure from the show. I would argue, that, had the series not been so well-constructed, this phenomenon would not be in evidence.
