    If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

    Every episode of the show had me in stitches in one way or the other. Great cast and even better acting . It can be described as if Shameless and House of Cards had a baby, especially how the protagonist Clever Greene worked (and schemed) his way to the top. Looking forward to season 5 on Netflix.

    This show has got to be one of the most brilliantly written shows I'VE ever seen. The character of Cleaver is laugh out loud funny- his dialogue and those of others- make other tv shows seem like they were filmed underwater. It is outrageously clever and hilarious... Don't know what else to say but I'm so addicted... and I hope they keep this on for as long as possible. In such an age where politically correct bs seems to win the day- Cleaver's approach to cut things down to size is so REFRESHING. This is what TV was meant to be- not the other sorry ass drivel they pimp as tv... Thank the heavens for Mr. Cleaver and gang...

    I just stumbled across this on Netflix and never had heard of it before. Not knowing what to expect and having watched almost everything else I wanted to see on that service I decided to give it a try and I am certainly glad that I did.At first I was worried because it has just about the worst, most boring opening credits sequence I've ever seen. It's cheap and stupid and annoyingly loud and has absolutely nothing to do with the show it is introducing.But after that I was pleasantly surprised. It's an Australian series with no actors I've ever seen before but the entire cast is very good in their roles. The writing is also very good with some great jokes (this is a dark adult oriented comedy) although sometimes the solutions to the courtroom dramas and personal stories as well can be predictable, but that's par for the course when it comes to any of these legal shows.This show is well worth checking out. Apparently there's also a US version if you're one of those people who hate watching shows from other countries, but it's nowhere near as good as this show.

    but have rectified that with desperate anticipation driven out of absolute addiction.It is magnificently written, cast, structured and performed. What makes it most riveting to those of us blessed with living in and around the actual locations and situations, is that lots of the stories are absolutely true (given a few exaggerations here and there) with "only the names changed to protect the guilty".I can't imagine how they got filming permission for the scenes in the actual NSW parliament, when the story line revolved around the rottenness of our recently evicted government.If only the real party hacks were as funny as their corruption is real. Maybe we could actually forgive them. Instead they are dull, boring, incompetent and corrupt, very little amusement value there.Hard to imagine anyone ever playing the role of Cleaver Green to the hilt the way Richard Roxborough has. Having seen the dull, American rendition, makes Richard's performance only shine the more brilliantly.I hope there are many more series in the pipeline. This show is honestly the best I have seen in decades. Right up there with Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. And a whole lot funnier! :)
