Man what a waste. Yet another in a series of bullshit cop shows from the tv studios, same crap with a different name, over and over again. |

Hi, It's from Australia though isn't it? So it may be different to the American cop shows..? I dunno. Might be worth a go. The first ep is a 'double ep' 1 & 2. I am wary though as the only Aussie stuff I see on TV where I live is soap operas & they are all just crap....I hate soaps in general so why.....NO I won't go there! Well If it looks like it's been filmed in an allotment shed then it's going in the bin.....full stop. But I'll give the show a go..... Thanks EZTV for the post  Regards, |

Some of the Aussie cop shows are pretty good. Water Rats was a good watch, and the Black Jack mini-series/TV-movies were excellent. |

Any opinions of people who have actually seen the show so far? I'd love to get a decent look at Aussie crime fighting as it compares to the US and UK, even if tv fiction style. |

I just finished watching -- thought it was pretty entertaining. And based on the promo for next week's ep., it looks like I'll be keeping up with this one... |

Apparently this is one of the better cop shows. It is an Australian series, so will be different from the mass produced American cop shows. Have not watched it yet, but i think it may be worth a look. |

I watched it on tv when it aired (OMG  ). It wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it. I'm going to keep watching. It was unusual to see Shane Bourne in a serious roll, I think it will just take some getting used to. Nice to see Noni Hazelhurst back into it too. And there are a few good aussie shows. Even though we don't have the same quantity that goes thru the US, many of them are around for years. All Saints is in it's 10th season, Blue Heelers was around for about the same, McLeods Daughters has been around for about 3-4 years. |

In Australia, City Homicide premiered this week and was up against the premiere of Californication (for once, we are only a few Eps behind the US, and not a few years). City Homicide won the night with an average of 1.65 million viewers across Australia (total population ~21 million), whereas Californication averaged almost a million. funilly enough, there were complaints about both shows and networks about using "smut and gore to shock their way to the top of the ratings" in the papers. I personally have only seen a little bit of this show, but normally the serious drama's made in Australia are pretty damn good, and i cant wait to see the show in its entirety. |

I watched this when it aired too, it was pretty good actually. I wasn't expecting much so i wasn't disappointed. It has a strong cast and follows the Aussie crime drama legacy of no bull. What I mean is, no blue lights, lab coats and computer analysis. I guess it is old fashioned that way. Get to the emotion of the crime, not the forensics of it. I'm thinking of Wildside, any Aussies remember?? Anyway, worth a look in my opinion, and it's shot entirely in Melbourne, YAY!!! |

I'm with mars and some of the others on this. The show was surprisingly good - certainly better than, say, Sea Patrol (or many of the other shows mentioned in this thread: FFS, Blue Heelers and McCleod's Daughters!). Oz TV has similar - even greater - limitations than UK TV, which is frequently criticised here on EZTV. We just don't have the population to produce that much, and when we do seasons can be foreshortened - although that seems rare, Oz shows will often run for 20-odd eps/season. One reason that shows like Neighbours, McCleod's etc get made is because we sell them OS for loads - but the profits don't seem to go back into producing decent material. At the moment, like the rest of the world, we are beset by reality TV shit - it's a lot cheaper to produce than shows like City Homicide, Water Rats and others. Even Sea Patrol wouldn't be cheap, but already appears to be on the verge of heading down the soapie path - although the presence of Lisa McCune pretty much doomed it from the start (I'd bend that Saskia Burmeister over in a heartbeat, though!). Another, related, problem is that when we buy US product, the networks here are forced to buy in packages: if they buy, say, House and some other hit, they are forced to also buy maybe half a dozen other pieces of crap (and often shows that have already been cancelled in the US). The upshot that is that, even though a lot of their stock is rubbish, they've already paid for it, and might as well air it (as, like everywhere else, they treat their audience like crap) - rather than investing in decent home-grown material. And - it's still cheaper than making our own. City Homicide looks the goods, and is worth watching. It's 'culturally' different from many US and UK shows, and may well be of interest to genre fans from those countries. I'm surprised - pleasantly - to see it turn up here. BTW - I agree re: Shane Bourne. Every time a character walked into his office on Monday, I kept expecting him to say "Thank God you're here"! |
