Reviews

sigggy Colourful characters,interesting story lines and the BEAUTIFUL Zoe Ventoura. What a great way to spend an evening. Sometimes to many interconnecting story lines, but it is worth it to see the different people and how they interact. The different cultures are good to see in an Australian production instead of the waspish story lines often presented in this country. Zoe plays her character well. I am sure it hard to be written a role which involves being bossy loud and cute at the same time, but she pulls off this without the viewer turning off. There have been many great episodes. A particular favorite was the Karaoke show in the park; which could have been cringe-worthy, but was pulled off in style. My only wish is that the episodes were longer than half an hour, it is too short for me, just as I get right into it, it is over. Track down the series and watch it from the start.
