Another interesting Australian series has come our way, this time it's not a cop show, but (I guess?) the Australian version of The Sopranos - I say "I guess" because I've never watched the sopranos.

The basic plot revolves around the drama around this family - the adopted kids, the oldest son as the stereotypical person to take over the family business, the middle son who's not respected, the youngest who is the screw up, and the daughter who's got the most brains, but is not given the respect she deserves (not that she seems to want to be in the family business anyway).

In watching a season of this I was surprised that the family business is only peripherally referred to.  It seems to be a combination of shipping exotic animals and drug running, but these guys (almost) never seem to get their hards dirty with the business.  Their front businesses seem to be doing well, so my main question was why stick with the illegal stuff, which on top of being illegal makes then risk life and limb.

All things considered, this wasn't a bad show.  I am looking forward to a second series (soon!)...and while you're at it, bring back the Hollowmen ;-)
