Diagonaldi Very well executed

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Monique One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

emerald-86857 I very much enjoy this show. I look forward to every episode. Acting is very good and the plots are entertaining. It is nice to watch a television show without profanity and vulgarity. This just goes to show that it is not necessary to have those negative attributes and still be entertained. Thank you for making!

MorpheusRU Recommended series. Lucien Blake (Craig McLachlan) is an ex-POW now practicing medicine in post-WW2 Ballarat, Australia who gives the local police headaches by his obsessive refusal to accept the obvious explanation when called to the scene of a murder in his official capacity. Engaging characters, elegant ensemble acting, and fantastic period sets make this a winner for those who love a good murder mystery. Close attention is required for those who don't speak Australian. Erotic tension between the Doctor and his no-nonsense practice manager/housekeeper Jean (Nadine Garner) adds spice to the mix. Despite being it's highest rated show, the series inexplicably has been canceled by the network. Yet another Dr. Blake Mystery.

corrado-4 I'm now into the third season of the thing, and I keep coming back to see whether any of the oddities will resolve themselves. I'm afraid they never will. It's absolutely hilarious. Characters keep leaving under suspicious circumstances but without any further explanation -- "I've been dismissed," "I've been called to Melbourne; it's political." An air of mystery surrounds characters, but never comes to a head: Charlie is a disciple of the doctor; no, Charlie's job is threatened by the inexplicably bizarre behavior of the doctor; no Charlie is a plant who is there to spy on the doctor and who is heard talking to someone about the doctor keeping secrets. We are supposed to feel sympathy for the doctor when he is berated for charging around like a bull in a china shop, breaking and entering private homes in complete disregard of the orders given him by police officials who are strangely his superiors, on one hand, and who on the other fail to react to his repeated overstepping. What are we supposed to think of all this? That Blake has a mental disorder? That he is autistic? That the program is written by sophomores? A different set of sophomores each week, who fail to notice the questions left open by the previous set? Are none of these things ever going to be answered?

djl-16 Quincy redux as an Aussie period piece. A bit preachy, one PC topic per episode. Enjoyable, but Miss Fisher is more fun. Darkness is partly due to LED flat screens having poor dynamic range. I like the doc's car. Couple of anachronisms, maybe. Were they called "meds" in 50's Australia? Fixed quiz shows? Really?
