McLeod's Daughters (2001–2009)

Superb TV show

[8 April 2006]

"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.

Band of Brothers (2001)

Band of Brothers Excellent

[10/10 · 7 April 2006]

The "Band of Brothers" series is one of the most dramatic and real life films i have seen. It depicts the lives of the Easy Company men who fought during World War II. This film does not portray these men as hero's or heroric but rather men who set out to do a task and performed it to the best of their ability. The men of Easy Company are portrayed superbly by the actors. This film shows the real life horrors and brutality of war. The courage these men needed to perform their duty towards their country no matter what the consequence was. With people being shot around them, limbs being blown off, trees falling down these men did not let this get in their way they joined together and become united to fight one enemy. "Band of Brothers" is divided into 10 episodes with a different plot to each. This film is the most captivating and emotional war film i have seen.
