I used to be mostly embarrassed and bored by our Australian serials but this is top notch drama. It is very perceptive and sensitive regarding the terrible experience of many Australians due to the recent and immense bushfires and it keeps the viewer enthralled throughout the series. I am so proud of so many new series that are made here as they are not only original but so well acted and directed. When I look at more USA's dramas they are just so repetitive and quite frankly dull although there are some brilliant ones but they are few and far between. Give recent Australian dramas a go, you will be surprised.
