Reviews

Love the series only complaint is, Dean over steps the line sleeping with victims, and Lara is just a pain in the ass. Seems like she has a crush on Dean, and is too into his private life.

This as a really decent (sadly a bit short with only 13 episodes for each season in 1 and 2) and different show, particularly series 1 - and with the exception of the slightly irritating constant battle between the Government-run Rescue Special Ops and the private cowboys Life Blood that dominates series 2 and 3. Instead of the constant and boring American crime series filled mainly by endlessly repetitive CSU science, super-modern crime fighting instruments you never actually get to see in your average police station anywhere in the world, and an overexposure with serial killers that has got to the point of over'kill', this is about real people and because Rescue Special Ops covers all rescue work we get a multitude of what happens in the modern crime fighting, medical rescue and general world saving world plus the different and beautiful Australian countryside of New South Wales.

Lara is very childish, over steps the rules and puts herself and others at risk. She likes Dean in his bu way too much, engaged to Hamish and marries him, but still flirts with others.

I actually don't mind the acting and the broader story. But what just floors me is at the beginning of every show is a situation that is presented to give way to a rescue.

Enjoyed watching the show. All 3 seasons were easy to watch and entertaining.

Found this on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a shot. I was quickly impressed with the authenticity of the rescue methods and realism, even though the show is 10 years old.

Season one was good, season 2 started off where season 1 ended but started to slip, season 3 became a total slop opera. Big disappointment.

I'm not sure what other people are seeing in this show, the acting is passable, but the storylines are just ridiculous. This 'team' just goes off on a tangent in every episode and it's gotten worse with each season.

Too bad this won't happen until possibly 2012. The first two seasons production was only 13 episodes each.
