I was looking for something easy to watch, and, as I do, thought that I would watch the first episode to see what I thought. Since then I have binge watched the first two series and now purchased series 3 because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I love this series, the history, the drama, the family, and everything about it. The writing and the actors make it feel very real, as the stories could so easily be true, the writers either have experience or they are amazing researchers; I have well and truly had my eye opened about many things. Whilst there are serious themes within A Place to Call Home everything about it is captivating, amusing, heart rending and completely compulsive, this series will take your emotions on a roller coaster, I would recommend anyone to watch it. I has reminded me too, how little recognition the Australian TV / Film industry really get, forget Neighbours, Home and Away this is light years ahead.

I like it but wary of the religion part. I wish you could charge per episode 50p on series 1 instead of series 3 so it would give me chance to find out if it's good or not. Cos I wasting money if I buy full series after buying some episodes. This is same for other series box sets. Cos u don't want to pay big amount out until u have got an idea of if it's your cup of tea
