Not only is this show seriously entertaining in each episode from start to finish, a second season has been confirmed and will more than likely premiere in the new year of 2012. http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/11/abc-2012-highlights.html Richard Roxburgh effortlessly leads the cast as the criminal defence attorney - Cleaver Greene who's personal and professional life is hanging by threads, and that's shown pretty quickly from the pilot onwards and gets steadily worse from there. Despite his character's numerous faults, he is good at what he does, both inside and outside the courtroom and throughout it all, keeps his sense of humour and despite what is shown, a small sense of morals. Its set in Sydney, New South Wales, but thankfully, not all is set in the Sydney that's most often described in the guidebooks. They also show the dark side, but with Mr Roxburgh's character right in the middle, it doesn't scare off the audience too quickly. I recommend thi...

On a lot of DVDs nowadays, there is something under special features, listed as the feature audio commentary. These run for the length of the film, or in the case of the one for Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl, for certain scenes that feature the two actors that are narrating.

If I had to pick, teen dramas as TV shows and remakes are usually two things that I try to avoid, unless I know the quality will be excellent. So, I was quite surprised when a TV show episode combining those two things intrigued me and was actually worth watching. Thanks to the rise of fantasy themes, werewolves have been simplified and made to look a lot cuter than usual. In this, not only are the normal teen angst themes studiously avoided, they've also made sure that the werewolves are properly scary looking and out of control monsters, that most sane people would avoid.

After his appearance in the romantic comedy, Maid in Manhattan, where he manages to present a solid character with Stanley Tucci, Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Lopez with him, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised to find that he carries this series with the same maturity.
