Rake

[JoondalupJ]

Obviously not many of you watch the ABC. If you did you would have commented on the brilliant comedy/drama/law series on the Aunty at the moment, called Rake. If some of you have seen it and are still watching it , it gets better every week, the acting is superb the characters are real, this is classy TV. Australians produce brilliant stuff most of the time , my point is that most Aussies miss the real goodies, I haven't seen any one post about this show, maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Have a look its worth it.

We watched this for the first time this week and found it to be most entertaining, I was getting a bit distracted with the drugs bit but I'm sure that issue has, or will be addressed. Will be trying to make this a regular fixture.

On the topic of ABC, we watch plenty of ABC and also take in the evening SBS news bulletin. I'm actually finding myself being pushed away from the tabloid style TV on the commercial stations

Yes its very clever, and, a bit in your face , but its meant to be I think.
I too am becoming very tired of the so called major television stations
which seem to have plenty of shows in number, but many of them much the same as each other.

love richard roxborough! massively underrated actor.

Absolutely superb Australian drama, quality viewing. Richard Roxburgh makes the show, he is a superb actor. The story is also brilliant and takes you where most Australian TV dramas do not.

For those who haven't seen it, iView has all episodes up online unlike when they only keep them up for 14 days. Watch it.:thumbsu:

There is no way that dog was unwilling.

Yep love it :thumbsu:

Best Australian show currently on TV by a country mile (not hard), well written, great acting, good humour and just hits the right note by not taking itself too seriously while still tackling some heavy issues for the characters

Best Australian drama for a fair while:thumbsu:

Bit of mish mash between Rumpole and Boston Legal with a distinctly Australian flavour.

My favourite scene so far:

Absolutely brilliant show, one of those shows you kinda go out of your way to make sure you can watch each week. It baffles me why commercial stations play shows like "the enforcers" and "behind the line" when top quality drama shows like this are being made and shown in this country.

[Bruce Monteath]

Agree with all of the above. As a country that generally produces absolute shite for television, it's great to acknowledge a show that is two cuts above.

[Hodgepodge]

Is this the one with Lisa McCune? She gets her norgs out.

[Father Jack]

This and Breaking Bad make for a very impressive Thursday night lineup.

I've noticed this has just come out on DVD, but for some reason they've split it into two separate DVD sets. Grr....

Fantastic show though, and when they either put them together or get the two sets down to a decent price, I'll grab it.
