The first two seasons of this show are some of the best Australian TV I've ever watched. A lot of heart, love and humor right from the getgo. Easily worth a watch for the first two seasons alone. However, I feel like a majority of the third season is painfully unfunny, depressing and mean-spirited.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this show up until the third season and I recommend both for casual viewing. Very entertaining and a great, accurate representation of Australian culture.
My only gripe with the first couple of seasons is Bess' husband Danny. From the getgo, his character is a selfish jerk to his wife and his children. And throughout the show, he never had an ounce of character development. There were multiple times where he was outright abusive to his family and it became uncomfortable to watch.
Especially with the season three premiere. It's Danny at his absolute worst. And the total lack of consequences for his actions is also a massive turn-off for me.
I'd rewatch this show in a heartbeat, but only for season 1 and 2.
9/10 for Season 1 and 2.
5/10 for Season 3.
