***EDIT and bump from 3 to 4 stars***
They must have fired the writers of season one, it improves from half way through season 2.
While watchable, the writers are really lazy with plot lines going nowhere and characters needlessly creating incessant problems out of thin air with very little lead-up, almost as if they were being paid per problem.
I can't see where the overwhelming number of 5* reviews come from, I don't watch a lot of TV though this was insulting to watch... it's all TV like this now? Anyway casting was great and scenery is really nice.
