black_stone-rose I love this TV series! The cast is good and the story is interesting. I'm soo happy that its still is very Australian and not so Americanised I hate how Americanised Australia is getting and the old TV programs Australia just doesn't seem to let go. Keep going on its a nice change.

kgrbabe I have recently found Acorn TV, and so far I love everything I have watched. But, I don't understand why this show is called "The Heart Guy" on Acorn, but called "Doctor Doctor" here? Still a great show. I'm beginning to think I should have been born in Australia!!

reggiesprake I found the second series very hard to accept, especially anything to do with (Jims') kidney failure. I found it very disappointing how the producers trivialised his so called condition. Any research into dialysis treatment or actual kidney transplants would have shown their incompetent portrayal of both. I feel for everyone who watched the series and has any form of kidney failure especially if they are doing dialysis treatment to stay alive, let alone waiting to hopefully receive a kidney transplant. Another unbelievable portrayal was the recovery period for both. Hugh is shown recovering after his opp/heart attack, then in the same scene he is shown running and jumping into a Mustang. Superman, eat your heart out. Obviously people who have been through the recovery period in real life must feel like wimps. It is great to actually have a locally produced Australian Drama series instead of having so called reality shows being force fed to viewers by every channel. Netflix etc have never looked more inviting. I hope you have success with the show but some thought on how the story lines affect real people with real problems should be considered.

bref I'm enjoying this so far. I like the laconic dialogue and depiction of small town lifestyle. However, I'm waiting for the usual Aussie malaise, the gradual descent into cliché driven soap. I'm hoping this time, Charlie doesn't allow herself to be seduced by Hugh, Matt doesn't die to make way for Hugh, Hugh doesn't have sex 'to make a baby' with Charley - he's a surgeon, let him supply his sperm the clinical way for a change. How about a stable if quirky family situation that doesn't deteriorate into the usual melodramatic BS... There's plenty of material in the outback lifestyle to keep the series going for years if they do it right.
