Shortland Street (1992)
Snooze-fest!
This is quite possible one of the worst shows ever made.
The acting is bad. The scripts are bad and repetitive. The whole show is bad!
I could barely stay awake through the episodes I was subjected to! It's so bad, that I can't even watch it to laugh at how bad it is! Everything about this show annoys me!
This show also promotes bad morals. Which wouldn't be so bad, apart from the fact that so many people in New Zealand actually LIKE this show. And they seem to think that the way these bitchy, grumpy hormonal fictional characters carry on is normal and acceptable.
Come on New Zealand, you can do better than this! Look at...oh hang on, I can't think of ANY good New Zealand TV shows. Except TellyLaughs. And they were great because they pointed out what was wrong with New Zealand's worst TV shows.
Space Island One (1998)
One of the great British sci-fi shows
This show did not have a big budget, or action packed stories, but it captured the feeling of the old British sci-fi shows of the 80's.
I liked the show for it's distinctive atmosphere, and the easily-likeable characters. It was a good break from Star Trek clone shows (although I generally do like those shows too :).
If you liked shows like Blake's 7, this show is for you, although the special effects are distinctly better than the effects in Blake.
