LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

emmers591 I absolutely loved the first two seasons of A Place to Call Home. The characters, story, cinematography, and production values were all excellent. It really drew me into the series and it was something I could enjoy watching with my parents. I know that the series was canceled after season 2, but then it got picked up by another producer.... And everything changed after that. The series wasn't as well-written, the characters started behaving in ways they wouldn't, and suddenly the previously tasteful sex scenes had gratuitous nudity that made me uncomfortable to watch with my parents. I managed to get through the season on my own, and season 4 did improve a bit, but I still miss the quality of the first 2 seasons.

nclibertarian My wife and I find this show very entertaining, though there are often times I find myself rolling my eyes. The heroin starts of as a nun (sister) who, after several episodes in, is actually Jewish (because nothing screams JUDAISM more than a blond hair blue-eyed Aryan married to Jesus). She is the moral conscience of the show, because in today's world morality means illegally disposing of a body, contemplating abortion, having sex outside of marriage, etc. Oh, and she is a Leftist/Communist freedom fighter/activist, at a time in history when Leftists/Communists killed people by the tens of millions. The anti-Communists in this show are either dimwitted or outrageously cruel. The rest of the cast seems heavily populated with gays (perhaps an exaggeration on my part), but since the writer, Bevan Lee, is gay, well, you write what you know. Never mind that in real life gays only comprise 2.8% of the population. Everyone in the shows needs to be taught a lesson in acceptance (they do call shows like this "Programming" for a reason). It is however a very captivating show and I will no doubt continue watching.

lunga I only watched most the first season of this Australian period drama, which at first I thought it would be Downton Down Under, but its more like Dallas, Dynasty and the more recently, Revenge, where nothing actually happens in the show and most of the "drama" is self created.The series stars Marta Dusseldorp as Sarah Adams, a stranger returning to Australia after living in "Europe" for the last twenty years. Throughout the first few episodes, her story unravels and is truly original and has lots of potential for character development. Along her way she encounters the wealthy Bligh family in a small Australian town and instantly becomes entangled in their affairs. I won't bore you with the details, but basic premise of the show is that everyone on the show has a secret that they can't tell and all of the drama created centers around it. The aspect of the drama involves everyone's fear of scandal, which, while I'm sure existed in 1953, wasn't really Earth shattering. Certainly not like finding a Turkish diplomat dead in the bed of a teen aged heiress.What really turned me off was the introduction of new character, at about the 10 episode mark. Regina Standish, played by Jenni Baird, a relative by marriage to the Blighs enters the story with twirling mustache and all. After a couple of episodes of cringe-worthy shenanigans, I did a quick look on IMDb and Alexis Carrington, uhhh, I mean Regina Standish continues on in the series permanently.I felt like the victim of an elaborate bait and switch. The true star of the show, the villain, swaps out the top billed actress 10 episodes in and everyone else in the story become set dressing for the machinations of an ugly anti-Semite.No thank you.

sumner-buck We have watched all three seasons and are hoping for a 4th. At our home we have a 'Date Night' with two other couples where we have dinner and watch a TV series such as Bosch, Homeland or The Americans. We started this series between the others and have found it just as gripping but without the body count. All agree we are looking forward to a continuation of the series if the producers decide to continue. The series is about a family that endures more trauma than seemingly possible. Just when you think things may become bearable again something else happens. The acting is superb, the scenery and setting are excellent, the directing is spot on and we recommend it for adults who want to get wrapped up in a real life saga but do not want to see a shootem up.
