lrbuckle A nice fun family show that happily lacks the violence and swearing found in most these days. I have only seen the first 8 episodes so far and am really enjoying it. It's amusing how Lisa's character in this reminds me of her one from Sea Patrol in some ways. Love the location and the characters. Though Malcolm is just sleazy. I am really, really hoping there will be a season 2 soon, so many good shows get axed in favour of reality TV. We need more shows like this and less reality junk. I like seeing the various animals from up north and how useful they can be in medicine. If hope island exists and is like that it'd be nice to spend a day or two on the beach, just not deep enough for the sharks!! It's more realistic than some in that there isn't a major emergency in every episode.

sammiea-641-361539 Really, really,, really LOVE this show! The locations are beautiful, the characters are very likable (well, most of them!) and the plots are good. Sam Stewart (Lisa McCune) is awesome (as usual!!!) and love the actor playing her son, Jack, not to mention her 'would be' love interest, Toby, is HOT!!! The tension between Sam and her ex-husband is great, as well as the rivalry/dislike between Sam and her arch-enemy, Malcolm. Sonny, the hostel-keeper is terrific and I really like Nell as the office manager/best friend for Jack. Gus, Sam's assistant, is awesome and always with her on her wild adventures, plus he's pretty cute, too. Sam isn't afraid to get out and get dirty, pursuing her venomous critters and every show is always an adventure!!Really hoping for a second season - I'm hooked!!! I'm ready to move to Hope Island any time!!!

natalie giancola I'd nearly given up on Australian drama's until this came out. I rarely watch TV, but this show has got me glued whenever it is on. The storyline is unique and the show is also very educational. Not to mention the beautiful location in tropical north Queensland and the spectacular filmography of the rainforests and Great Barrier Reef. Reef Doctors certainly showcases one of the greatest parts of our country. The actors/actresses are fantastic, in particular Lisa McCune. The storyline is always adventurous and never boring. There is a great mix of action, love and educational content present in this drama. 10 stars from me, I'm really hoping for a second season.

sbcbooks Rubber snakes being milked by the star says it all. Avoid. This show has had it's release date pushed back several times, now we know why. It's because this show is woeful. McCune's "star power" can't save this turkey. Nice locations can't either. Perhaps the producers hope that overseas sales will keep the show going, with lots of shots of white sand, clear water, native animals pad out proceedings - but the poor storyline, poor acting and below par special effects (rubber snakes for example) can only see this show crash and burn with no chance of a second season. The show finally premiered (after being pushed back several times) on Network Ten to the lowest viewer figures for a new show ever recorded! Obviously the show will be relegated to the wee small hours and won't be seen again on Australian prime time. You Have Been Warned!
