I loved this series! The cast, the acting, the storylines, the music, all fantastic!! Sam Reid is gorgeous and his character totally believable. I hope there's a Season 2.

I found out about the show by accident. It needs more marketing. Congrats to all, excellent show, well cast. 👍

Loving the whole thing. IN LOVE with Dale. Marg Downey is perfect as the mean, vindictive social climber so loyal to her ageing journalist husband, perfectly cast.

So agree with all of this. Dale is such a gentle and warm bloke - what a lovely man!
