Shame more people didn’t watch The Straits. It was a good show.
I actually forgot Your Gen was on last night. It hasn’t been on Thursday night all season so why would Ten put the final episode on Thursday. Stupid Ten programmers.
@stevie g, much as I’d love 7’s audience to be exposed to something as edgy as The Straits, the chances of that network going with a drama like that are absolutely zilch.
I loved the way the series ended on a cliffhanger, though, and am putting on my optimist’s hat that there’ll be a second series.
Just caught up with the straits on i view
It will do well in DVD sales and OS – those sweeping shots of the northern part of this country are breathtaking…good job all round ABC 🙂
Absolutely nothing on last night. It’s either a flood or a drought. I went and hired the 3rd season of Mad Men on dvd.
A sensational finale? for The Straits. I have loved this show but I guess it’s done. I particularly liked the cross section of actors ethnicity it is a bit more what we look like even if they lived surreal lives. It’s a real shame it didn’t get a bigger audience. Maybe it should’ve been on 7.
I am losing interest in tv as shows are removed during a season for sport, Easter, programming reshuffles!
With the start of AGT soon, the usual Tues tomeot, will mean more late starts for Aussie dramas like PTTR… Not happy
I will be suprised if The Biggest Loser gets another season for 2013.
