I gave this 1 star because I couldn't give it zero.
Setting:~ a plot of 'dirt', a few gum trees & a creek somewhere in western NSW.
Sets:~ My local little theatre group sets were of a far higher standard! My childhood 'cubby house' was of a far higher standard than these huts.
Script:~ Absolutely atrocious! At least the 'actors' seemed to remember their lines, unless they were all drunk before filming & the 'actors' were ad-libbing . Attempts at topical 'humour' were out of Christmas crackers.
Costumes:~ Low cut dresses that showed as much breast as possible without falling out of them. Once again, my local little theatre group has far better quality costumes than any of these, even considering they were set in the bush during the gold rush days. I've even seen better costumes at school plays when they were made by the parents!
Comedy:~ The 'bawdy' 'humour' relied on foul language and 'bawdy' schoolboy humour! The only 'comedy' that the joke that it makes of the Aussie taxpayers for funding this garbage as it makes a mockery of us! . Language:~ Appalling & unnecessary, unless they relied on it for laughs. If so, it didn't work!
Acting:~ The word 'acting' could only be used loosely where this series is concerned. I've seen end of year school pantomimes better than this! Did the 'actors' have the 'after-party' before filming, which could only explain the shocking 'acting'?
I found the whole show, of which I subjected myself to TWO, just in case it improved once what I'd generously considered to be the 'teething problems' in the first episode, had been rectified. It was no better than the first episode! Two hours of my life that I'll never get back!
