This is honestly one of the most brilliant and beautiful shows that I have ever had the absolute pleasure to watch. It is one of those shows that you can easily sit down and marathon through an entire disc or two in one sitting. The characters are really well fleshed out as this is more of a character driven show. The countryside setting isn't always my favorite but for Mcleod's I make an exception as Drover's run is now one of my favorite television show settings. The scenery is always breath-taking and the dialog is really intelligent as the conversation flows naturally. When disaster strikes it hurts the viewer to watch their favorite characters pass on, especially since the actors and actresses have hardly been on anything else it makes it all the more realistic when they depart (which is a shame because they are really talented actresses). The Australian landscape is hauntingly beautiful and adds to the seductive factor of the show. The characters leave too soon. The new characters (although they do take a bit of getting used to) end up stealing the show, especially Regan, Kate and Moira. The soundtrack is from an Australian singer- Rebecca Lavelle- and sometimes the actors of the show, such as Michala Banas, record their own songs for the show. The show is definitely one not to miss and if I wasn't going to spoil anything for you I would honestly chat with you for 10 hours straight on the entire series. An extremely underrated series please give it a watch.

I wish I had kept track of all the flat tires in this series. Seven in ten of the episodes seem to have a flat tire and most of the remaining have an overheating engine. Just how non-creative, predictable and boring can you get! And, just how common do you find young widowers in your life? I have certainly heard of a couple but after living 70 years on this earth I have never met a widower under about 50 years of age and yet in this program we meet 3 quite young ones. Coats and light clothing are seen outdoors in the same scene, long shadows are seen at mid-day and short shadows are seen early or late. Folks seem to have the time and energy to often drive many miles to the pub in mid-week - having lived on farms in the USA I am sure Aussie farmers scream with me in absolute disbelief when they see this. How many times do you hear 'I am sorry' and 'he/she was only trying to help'? I admit I got kind of hooked for a while early on but the repetitive and predictable scripts have turned the show into drivel. A shame really as the basic premise is wonderful.

One day whilst strolling through the German equivalent of "Big W" i stumbled upon what appeared to be the season 1 box set of this show. I asked my German friend if she had seen it and she said that she had and that it was immensely popular. This makes me down-right sick to be an Australian. Is this what people in Europe think of us? Really its rubbish like this that gives us our bad name overseas. We are thought to be this extreme stereotype. And not to mention that will make people think all Australian television is this monotonous, when we have produced some fine television and films at various stages over the past 50 years.

"McLeod's Daughters" just keeps getting better and better. The plot intensifies and the characters are developed more. As the audience you are able to feel a connection with these women who work hard. This show is unlike many others, it is set in the Australian outback and follows the lives of Aussie women who live and work on a farm (Drover's Run) who do the work themselves. "Mcleod's Daughter's" also shows the lives of the farmers which surround Tess and Claire, Alex and Nik. One of the main qualities this show has is that is it unique. It is unlike many other shows which are based around criminal activities and the legal system e.g. CSI, NCIS, LAO. The actors are fantastic in their roles. Bridie Carter (Tess) and Lisa Chapel (Claire) excel in the role of their characters. This fabulous acting is supported by Aaron Jeffery (Alex), Myles Pollard (Nick)and Rachael Carpani (Jodi) This is a very compelling show which inspires everyone.
