Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Patience Watson
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Blistering performances.

As a former resident of Adelaide and South Australia I was very happy to discover this TV series set in the "outback" of SA (though Gawler is really not the Outback). I was homesick and I loved seeing the magnificent South Australian landscape that I am very familiar with, as well as the few episodes filmed in Adelaide (I recognized many of the locales). PROS - Scenery - the amazing scenery of my South Australian home. - The Animals portrayed realistically (death, sickness and healthy animals) - First few seasons were excellent - Filmed on film (not digitally filmed) and this is a costly process. - They did not show one koala or kangaroo which seems to be de rigeur for any show filmed in Oz.CONS - Actors/actresses portray the Aussie stereotype of white gorgeous skinny women and muscled men who drive Utes, motorcycles and like to punch each other out. It's not realistic, but then again, it is a television drama. - Cast of characters were constantly changing and unless you watched the series in the right sequence from the beginning it is easy to get confused as to who is who. The revolving door was the worse part. - Later episodes started to degenerate, IMO, into soap opera territory. Overly contrived example episode where Alex proposed to Stevie involved helping a neighbor, getting their tuck hijacked, etc. etc. and he proposes while in mud. Later on redeems himself by flying her on a helicopter to tell her he loved her in a field of canola (which I have seen personally and its gorgeous). - some of the slang may be hard for non-Aussies to understand. some of it we don't really use in Adelaide (e.g., saying hoo roo for goodbye).

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.

McLeod's Daughters has been the most successful Australian television series over the last few years, and it's not hard to see why. In an age where television is dominated by crime series and reality television, 'McLeod's' offers its viewers an hour of escapism television.The result is a warm, stylish, quality Australian drama, filled with heart and humour, and with the perfect combination of lovable characters and picturesque scenery.Originally revolving around sisters Tess and Claire, and their property 'Drovers Run', this show has grown to increasingly encompass the lives of those around them, without losing any of its initial charm that attracted viewers to the show. Even after the loss of major characters from the series, the show still continues to go from strength to strength.Overall, the most refreshing aspect of the show remains the portrayal of its leading ladies as smart, self-sufficient survivors a credit to the shows writers, and series creator Posie Graeme-Evans.Always well worth the look, 'McLeod's' is a superb hour of television you will not regret tuning in to.
