Ok I loved it. Funny and entertaining, I just loved it. Although in the first season it seemed the camera was noticably jerky in the scenes, but was filmed smoother in the second and third season.
Kudos to the actors for bringing the writers characters to life. Each actor truly brought uniqueness to their characters persona. I liked how each episode had it's own story, with just a little of the history of the relationships between the family members filtering along without it saturating the next episode. Its a very entertaining and funny show. I'm glad I watched it.
Worth the watch, if you like comedy.

Classic Aussie comedy.
Would love to see more.
Not a weak character in the show.
A real work of art that I would definitely compare to American family comedy, Modern Family.
This 8 episode series really shows the contrast of Australian society and in a way breaks down stereotypes that all Australians are 'bogans' and drive utes.
The series includes great Aussie comedy and jokes and does not seem to fail in the line of comedy. This series genuinely made me laugh and I wish that the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) continued with the series.
To find such a good Australian comedy is rare and definitely needs more recognition. For these reasons I have stated above I give it a 10 out of 10.

The first two seasons of this show are some of the best Australian TV I've ever watched. A lot of heart, love and humor right from the getgo. Easily worth a watch for the first two seasons alone. However, I feel like a majority of the third season is painfully unfunny, depressing and mean-spirited.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this show up until the third season and I recommend both for casual viewing. Very entertaining and a great, accurate representation of Australian culture.
My only gripe with the first couple of seasons is Bess' husband Danny. From the getgo, his character is a selfish jerk to his wife and his children. And throughout the show, he never had an ounce of character development. There were multiple times where he was outright abusive to his family and it became uncomfortable to watch.
Especially with the season three premiere. It's Danny at his absolute worst. And the total lack of consequences for his actions is also a massive turn-off for me.
I'd rewatch this show in a heartbeat, but only for season 1 and 2.
9/10 for Season 1 and 2.
5/10 for Season 3.

Loved it from the first episode, season 2 was already better than the first, but in season 3 is all comes together beautifully and better than I expected.
In essence, I would call it "The Australian Modern Family". Both in quality and in spirit. 'Nough said!
