From the outset it was obvious this show would develop a following, the characters evolve and the story lines create engagement with each and every one, from the lead five, to the broader cast there is something here for everyone.
Kat Stewart who many will probably know from Offspring brings an entirely different yet familiar character, Doris Yonane brings an entirely loveable and often times entirely dislikable but relatable character whose comedic sense just enhances the experience, Katie Robertston plays the sweet and lovable one who time shows has a heart of steel and a depth of humanity and compassion that is compelling, Stephen Peacocke is the cliche tradie who gets the lady but who moderates the handsome rogue part with a deep charm and thoughtfulness, and Roy Joseph plays the somewhat confused and cliche gay role that also brings a story line that will be familiar to any other gay person over the age of 25 or from an ethnically not white family - each actor over two seasons that I've seen has grown more and more into their role, so much so that one really does become invested in their individual and collective story.
The writing is witty and fun, but also at times it is sad and evocative, in a very short series run this show covers many topics and it manages to do so in my opinion with style, grace and a lot of flair, whilst also being fairly realistic about the flaws and fabulously of people. I think these are each and together stories many of us will be able to relate to, to empathise with, and to grow attached to for these characters. I cannot wait for season 3.
