disgusting, overrated, pointless

A different way of telling a story

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Blistering performances.

I very much enjoy this show. I look forward to every episode. Acting is very good and the plots are entertaining. It is nice to watch a television show without profanity and vulgarity. This just goes to show that it is not necessary to have those negative attributes and still be entertained. Thank you for making!

Best mystery series broadcast on PBS in the United States! The story lines are interesting and believable, the characters are well drawn and well acted, and the historical setting adds great context for the stories. Guaranteed to draw you in and ignite a passion for more mysteries!

I love this show more for nostalgic reasons. I use to live in Melbourne, Victoria for 4 years and loved Ballarat and Bendigo. I lived in a state that had a large Italian/Greek population and many of the characters that have appeared on the show absolutely look like that. The character is a bit withdrawn and wooden, but then that was typical back in those times. I grew up in Perth, the west coast, and most of the men back then were restrained. The housekeeper reminded me of some of my aunts keeping a stiff upper lip and all emotions to yourself. Some of the plots are very good, and some kind ah. I am looking forward to the next season.

The cast is very dull for this series and they seem to change every season. The viewer is never informed on why some characters exit the show from season to season. The lead actor Craig McLachlan has to be one of the most wooden actors on the planet and dull as dull can be. Why he was cast in the lead role is beyond my comprehension. The background music is also awful. I do not understand why this series is so popular. The plots are plodding and boring and as each episode approaches its conclusion, I could care less who committed the murder. And, another question I keep asking myself is why a coroner is solving crimes. This show may be popular in Australia, but I would much rather watch "Happy Valley", "Vera", or "Marcella" which are all far superior. It baffles me why PBS has chosen this show for viewing.
