Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Roger Balder I first saw this TV series on a plane thinking that the plot sounds interesting. Little did I know that the TV series will bring me fully into the story.Typically for Australian movies, it has realistic aspect of acting and story-telling, especially if compared with US movies. It has a dark feel, however it brings different shades of humans, pointing out that we all have our vulnerabilities.The acting is very smooth and at times it feels that you are watching a documentary rather than a fiction (is it? not sure).A great discovery to watch!

Fastpick317 The series mimics the theme of movies such as Lean on Me or Stand & Deliver. A Principal comes into an Australian school for boys and offers help to struggling youth. The idea has been done before but this show is based on a fictional character, rather than non-fictional person (or true story). The show has lots of profanity and a scene of homosexuality. If it were a movie, it would probably be rated R for content. The F-word is used multiple times and there is a kissing scene between the lead actor and a man, in episode 3. We had to stop watching, based on that. The idea for the show had much promise but I had to rate it a 1, based on the aforementioned offensive content.

kenfromcanada Quasi Spoiler Alert:Australian TV (and movies) have developed over the past decade or so into rivals for North American product. I find the actors to 'look' on the most part like REAL people. Warts and all. This show exemplifies that - the kids look like the mix you will find every where, the teachers - look like a few I had so many years ago in school. I like where they are taking the principle (I am up to episode 3 - today seeing 4)another slice of real life. I think this show could as easily be set in Canada (I work in the legal system-this happens for real here) or the United States with out changing a thing. If you are looking for 'action' TV this is not the show for you, I find this a refreshing change from the formulaic stuff being cranked out of Hollywood.

z3221313 While based on the first episode. I believe Australian drama has come along way and hope that it continues. The actors provide some good tension and realism to the story line. I think they could push for more in terms of violence and family sorrow but overall thought the balance was worthy viewing on SBS demand. The range of characters and time in the first episode didn't really permit much depth however understand that it is grab viewers' attention and curiosity. The ending encounter for a random student was a welcomed twisted but also surprising in how younger persons are not shocked by death instead actually embrace it for social media. Was a recommendation for me and would for someone else.
