So bad it's funny. Every character is unlikable and saying the actors overact? Is an understatement! The storyline is completely predictable. And lots of gratitoitous gay sex. And it's a lesson on what not to do on a TV show. But its has very good cinematography! And the Austrailian scenery is very beautiful!

Captivating and lots of cliffhangers from one episode to the next. And overall this series brings up some delicate and disturbing social issues that are still very evident today. But well acted and very enjoyable. I actually watched it on public television and one of the few series I wish I had the money to own.
