leo-rigo Unfortunately i have to agree with all the other comments (or at least the majority of them) that clearly have seen the original Aussie version. The US version missed the entire spirit of the main character and most of all the wit. The dialogs in the US version are dull, repetitive and the storyline closer to a mid level drama than the Aussie version. I think the original is so well written, acted that is definitely the best ABC show produced in a long long time, hence very difficult to copy or remake. I don't honestly understand why they didn't decide to screen the original in the US like they did with Chris Lilley's series.If you want to see the REAL Rake, just watch the Aussie version, it's pure genius.
kathleenh1111 This is one of the BEST TV shows I have seen in years! No kidding. Great show. Kinnear is excellent in it...a real cutie...and super funny. Love everything about the show. Haven't felt this way about a TV show for a long, long time. Great show. 10 stars. Excellent writers! Kinnear is really cool in it and I get a kick out of the attitude he displays in his interactions with others. All the actors do a good job. Every once in awhile a right combination of all necessary component parts come together to produce a show that has that extra 'something' that sets it apart. This show has that special something. Hope it stays on a long time so viewers can have a good laugh. Best wishes and much continued success. Thank you. Kathleen
Solrosen I like Greg Kinnear -I have seen that he can be very funny. This show is okay, no more, I have given it 3 episodes of my valuable time and will not continue watching, it just isn't good enough. The pilot introduced too many people, there was just a little bit too much of the "oh, I am a bad boy, owe the wrong people money, and make everybody I meet hate me"... and be totally charmed at the same time. The two following episodes was just more of the same, lots of bad luck and bad decisions. Not as funny as it could have been. Kee, or whatever weird name they have given the main character, never seems to finish anything, so it seems pretty unlikely that he would have finished college and law school, most people with his type of messed up personality don't. Greg Kinnear deserve a much better script. And if you have seen the trailer, don't bother with the show, you will have seen The joke...
hizman Some remakes are good. Some are even great. This one is neither.I did try to stay open-minded. I survived 15 minutes of watching. The Aussie dude had charisma and that unbeatable confidence about him no matter what. That smart creativity and ability to enjoy life whatever the circumstance. This poor fella does act like a looser. No joy, no creativity, no intelligence. I do like the actor. It's just not his character. There is an American show like the original Rake AU — Boston Legal. Not identical but same adventure spirit. Just 1 star does not give justice though. It is okay to watch on a sofa with beer on a TV when nothing else is available. But for download, better new shows are available.
