    Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
    Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
    energy_cuddle Maybe it's just that Aussie girls love Aussie shows, but this is one of my favorites! I watched every episode, and sometimes I even watch the midday repeats.Yes, some of the acting was a bit dodgy, but don't you love the teens?! All the awkward moments were hilarious, and the comments were perfect... exactly what you would say in the situation, only funnier!I reckon it's a must see!I just have one question though... what's the name of the gay guy that Pip falls in love with? It's been bugging me for ages. He was my favorite character. There were moments when I just cringed with embarrassment for both Pip and the guy. So... who's the mystery man? Please tell... I must know!
    twiggysayshi When this series first began way way way back in 2001, i couldn't help thinking 'yay, not another Australian drama or comedy, wonder how long this will last?' But, as time dragged on i gave it a shot on a sunday night, and, thankfully i did watch Always Greener but unfortunetly i didn't watch it any earlier!The Cast is absolutely wonderful and as kooky as your typical aussie families! The younger cast, (Abe Forsythe, Michala Banas, Natasha Lee etc) are certainly matching up to the talents of their older cast mates. The story lines are true and original and as always we are given a simple situation with twists and humour used (obviously) affectiontly by the writers.Sure as most people agree the main premise isn't too original but the production design of Always Greener is as fresh as cut grass (supposed to be a pun : he he) and unlike some drama's once a storyline is resolved it is left to dry in the sun, but not on Always Greener, every episode plays a contributing part in a continuing story line.Mention must go to the supporting cast whose names do not appear in the opening credits (Grant Bowler, Denise Roberts etc.) for without them minor characters appearing every episode it probably wouldn't be as good as it is and hopefully (careful not to jinx) ALWAYS will be!
    purplebuggy2001 I love Always Greener, it's one of the better Australian shows out there. I would highly recommend it because it appeals to such a wide variety of audiences. The 2 families with teenage children going through what most families go through. (with a bit of tv drama type stuff added in)The best part of the show is how it's structured. It's got that (i know its unoriginal but it's great) Ally McBeal type, 'this is what I'm thinking is happening' thing. To sum up it gets the best bits of popular shows and adapts them to suit the style of the show. With original story lines, it's definately worth watching. purplebuggy2001 :)
    hazey I have been watching this show since the first episode and love it! It is the first series I have ever seen where from the word go the acting has been brilliant!This show has characters you can relate to, and a realistic approach to episodes. Even though "Always Greener" is at base a comedy, it's not afraid to attempt the hard hitting issues such as drug abuse and suicide.If you haven't tuned into "Always Greener" yet, you are missing out.
