kthrnslvn Nice to cruise through something where thinking isn't required and there are no disaster ambushes, but it is tough to care about the characters. So far, there is no chemistry between any of the couples, and everyone is thin, pretty there are no babies or old people. The writing is not so artificial that it constantly distracts, but it doesn't really hold attention either. I gave it extra points for pretty scenery.

Kay1977 800 Words was recently broadcast on PBS, and watching the 1st season made me buy as many series of it as I could get my hands on. The premise of the show has been discussed in other reviews, so I won't repeat it, but I'll give my opinion as to why the show is so good. The characters, actors and scripts are excellent, as is the scenery. The way it takes the trope of a quirky small town with "outsiders" adjusting to life there works so well because the show is very funny and very serious at the same time. That combination of laughing and then thinking - wow- this has something important to say about being human, grieving, family dynamics, making mistakes, loving and muddling through. It isn't preachy. It steals your heart because you fall in love with the characters. Even the town "villain" is likable in a way because the quirky characters are fleshed out human beings. The handyman is laid back and might be taken as a fool, but as with the Shakespearen fool, he has the role of helping his employer see the lay of the land and the people in it- plus he has a heart of gold. There are special characters throughout that show up in one episode (the has-been surfer dude is one of my favorites) and townspeople who make regular appearances. I like comedy to be meaningful, and meaningful drama to contain comedy. This show hits the bullseye.

memine23 I love this show, Strangely about words and so much more and yet I struggle now to write why I love this show. Something for everyone perhaps; Clever for sure; Cliché for certain; but entertaining - absolutely. Out of a tragic beginning comes a show worthy of 42 minutes of my day. Watch and enjoy. I was and am still a huge fan of the 90's show Northern Exposure, and Chris' monologues, summary or prequels - insightful, prophetic, thought provoking and just plain good stuff; This simple 800 word show is up there for this fan

waitingfortheday After his wife dies, he brings his teenage kids from a big city in Australia to small town New Zealand to start over. Characters are quirky without over-doing it. I enjoyed it so much from the first episode that I binge-watched the first two series in a day and a half, and am looking forward to the third.
