...Central casting committed some major errors. More on that later.A lot of people on IMDb moan that the show is nothing like the Australian film upon which it is based. I didn't care much for that film. I also think the series has more in common with Point Break.I think the casting sank it from the start. The two long-hair surfer brothers, Craig and Deran, just weren't tough enough to pull off their roles. They needed guys that can play hardcore criminals and these two are WAY too soft for the role. The way they portray them as such sissies affects the rest of the storyline. Who would be afraid of these doofuses? Baz and Pope are both about right and the young kid isn't bad. At least he isn't a liability.The little teenage girlfriend was simply atrocious, both as an actress as well as her appearance. She is just too dumpy for this role. This is one instance when they needed a super-hot seductress for the role. I wanted her to get killed off or go away from her first appearance. Of course, she is a Hollywood legacy and only got into the business because of her family. Ugh.Ellen Barkin was also a terrible choice. Too much facial surgery may have messed up her acting chops, but I never remembered her as being good at it. Just the ways she walks bugs me. I think the series also suffers from a lack of good characters outside of the family. The cops are all idiots and there isn't a strong character among any of them. So much unused potential.

I enjoyed this show for a while. In fact I told all my friends to check it out... But then in season 3 it seems like there is a gay sex scene in every episode. I get it.. you have to include all crowds, but in every episode?!?! After episode 3.8, I gave this show up... enough gay sex for me thanks.

Great show, entertaining, sexy, violent and humorous

The creators of the show turned this from a phenomenal show into a good show by their actions in episode one of the third season. By doing this it really weaken the show mightily because the show is structured around the six main characters. And when you subtract one of the six main characters from the story it leaves it totally incomplete and unfulfilling. Now, because the changing of the story line there is a lot of issues that are going to be unresolved.I was so fired up to have the third season kickoff and when I saw the first episode of the third season it took the wind out of my sail, it was a really punch in the gut feeling my enthusiasm for the show just totally left me I totally feel indifferent from the show now.I think with this move it's really going to hurt the viewership and this once promising show looked like it had longevity by its side now looks like the end could be nearer sooner than you think.Thanks for ruining a phenomenal show.We'll always have the first two seasons thank God for that! You go Baz. Baz kicks ass!
