This was a good series that started slowly and ended strongly – better than the other way around. By the end, you cared what these people did and what comes next.
Glad it is coming back for season two, but the ABC may want to consider not scheduling it opposite A Place To Call Home and House Husbands again.
It was Nine that moved HH against them, not the other way around.
Good news, I really enjoyed TTOOL, there are plenty of loose ends to tie up that they left at the end of Season One.
Great cast too, especially Claudia Karvan and Stephen Curry
I am so pleased to read this news David. I did not know if it would get a second season due to rating poorly against HH & APTCH but clearly ABC is about quality drama not ratings. I loved this show & can’t wait to see what happens next. I know some people criticise the likes of Claudia Karvan, Stephen Curry, Justine Clarke & William McInnes stealing all the jobs from other actors but they are not! In recent years we have seen a significant increase in drama on FTA therefore more actors are in work. There was a lull maybe 6 – 8 years ago and there was nowhere near as much drama back then – it was all reality TV. These actors could be overseas working but they are here and I am glad. I’m sure others would agree with me.
@Mr J – what an earth are you talking about? There’s a reason some actors get popular…. because they can act. Let them cast whoever is best for the role. That’s the only way to cast anything. Public funding is about supporting the local industry to tell Australian stories for us – the audience.
Great to see House Husbands coming back for series 3.
They all look good.
with public funding they should be giving jobs to actors that need employment. not the overexposed ones that are in every second show.
Great news. Time of our Lives was amongst my top three favorite dramas for this year, along with A Place to Call Home and Vikings. There are a lot of fast tracked US shows on at the moment, but none of them are as fine as these.
I am surprised by TTOOL’s renewal, but not disappointed.
Great news for Aussie production. I liked The Time of our Lives a lot and it has plenty stories left.
Great news, I really enjoyed the show.
