Found Sea Patrol last year and love it. Watched all old episodes in one month.Lisa’s charachter, by now, should have loosened up a bit. The skipper can do better…. split them up.
The Mrs will be happy
(stealth ‘it’s a girls show’ post)
Quite like Sea Patrol but I think Lisa McCune is bloody awful in it, she’s one of the most unconvincing military officers I’ve ever watched!
@Bazza: Seven have already cashed in on that with the iinet case.
There’s nothing like flogging a dead horse.
@Craig: that’s a pity mate, the next few eps really step up, with Matt Holmes and Kristian Schmid giving stand-out performances.
The show has improved. First two seasons, my wood pile wrote letters of complaint to major newspapers about the wooden acting by the leads, but the rest of the cast was OK, especialy the star of first season, Bright Island (who was robbed at the Logies).
I’m finding this season actually entertaining, More cast, less leads, good show.
I Think you have just made my day (whats left of it) Yeah i can’t wait, Sea Patrol is awesome and i love Lisa McCune
I’ve lost interest in the show…
I agree with Alex Nine should return Sea Patrol to monday nights.
Lisa McCune was confirmed as returning in a recent interview. I believe she is the only cast member confirmed though.
Great news! Looks like Sea Patrol is the longest running weekly Aussie drama currently on screen. And hopefully with another season the show will start to be recognised a bit more – it’s been very underrated IMO.
And while it’s great Nine is supporting it – the move from Mondays to Thursdays has resulted in a ratings dip, though hopefully it can get back to its Monday night figures over the next few eps.
