theirs a kiwi show about a bunch of brothers who are descendants from gods ( dont ask ) airing on tv right now , the concept is pretty stupid but the show is surprisingly entertaining

^ Mcleod's Daughters finished awhile ago.

I'm liking "The Doctor Blake Mysteries" at the moment. A series about a doctor that solves mysteries is hardly original, but the ABC have handled it well.




Which "Underbelly" Irish_Bob? The show has spawned a number of spin-offs. The current one is Underbelly: Squizzy

Thanks for all the suggestions

For those that are into trucking there were 2 different series that aired recently that were fun to watch:

Outback Truckers:

One journey chronicled in this series lasted for a whopping 42 days from Perth.

The other was Mega Truckers:

Lots of interesting personalities in this show.

Does anyone rememer watching Rain Shadow.. I beleive that was in 2007 or 2008.. it wasn't.. horrible..

I'm reaquainting (spel?) myself with Underbelly.

Also on hulu: The Straits (I'm enjoying it).

Last time I watched McLeod's was when I first moved to Toronto from Adelaide in the middle of winter. I was miserable in the cold and seeing the familiar SA countryside in the sun made me happy.. the acting.. not so much. LOL. The important part was it made me forgot it was cold dark and snowy outside and I wanted no part of it (yet).
