gomezcaticha This is the type of sweet show that is a guilty pleasure. The acting is solid, the script makes me laugh and cry, there are love stories, animals, women friends. There are serious conversations about life and death. This isn't for everyone, but if you liked shows like Offspring or Rita (Danish), then you may like this.

missytucker-24094 Unlike the previous reviewers, I enjoyed this light hearted show next to so many dark Australian and British shows. It reminded me in many ways of Gilmore Girls.

jacshop-03317 Offered on Acorn TV, so I decided to watch the entire first season just to see if it improved. The main character was a ditz and none of the other characters were especially likable. I am stunned that it lasted 3 seasons. I sure won't bother watching anymore.

Tony_J61 Second episode aired on ABC TV Australia. May 18th, 2008.The beautiful and talented Kerry Armstrong stars in this mini series as an unfortunate widow, whose husband dies in bed with another woman. Due to mismanagement of their money by the now dead hubby, Kerry (Louisa Atherton) and daughter Holly, wind up at the mercy and scorn of Louisa's mother. Mother and daughter take up residence in a dilapidated house on acreage, trying to make ends meet by taking any job on offer. Holly alienates herself from schoolmates, as she's seen better schools, having been at a private school in Melbourne.I've always enjoyed watching Kerry in shows like the axed 'MDA', pulled at the end of it's second series. 'Bed of Roses', besides having an annoying and repetitive theme song in episode one, is not a series I would have cast Kerry Armstrong in. She's seen as a klutz, who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag! Disappointing, as she's mostly been seen in confident parts.
