  1. Really enjoyed Halifax. Loved how it ended and Rebecca Gibney is just fantastic and one day needs t be in the hall of fame. Kudos to Claudia Karvan on her character to.

  2. I really enjoyed watching Halifax: Retribution and I really hope there is another season. And I’m really glad 9Gem is going to show the original series of Halifax because I never saw it.

    1. 20 of the original 21 Halifax f.p. tele-movies are available on 9Now (have been for a while now) so you don’t necessarily need to wait until next Tuesday:

      For reasons unbeknown to me Nine removed or pulled the 4th episode of season 1 … “My Lovely Girl” a week or two after they were made available … curious to know why though.

  3. It looks like the Final finished higher than the debut. Which is a great result for the live viewing and I assume more caught up on time shifting after the debut and perhaps of mouth of word and reviews encouraged further viewing.
    Here’s hoping networks still invest in Aussie drama!

      1. Yes, I love that Related posts make it easier to locate that information 🙂
        Another great feature that may often get overlooked on this great blog!
