Oh I so love this series, great characters and brilliant plots. Reminds me so much of relaxing in sleepy towns filled with memorable mates and beers. How we all perked up if the police made an appearance. Bring on series 7.

About to watch season 6, I am hoping there will be a 7, really enjoy this program!
Just finished Season 6. I will certainly vote for a season 7! Go for it! Great show with fantastic characters!
I just watched in France the first 2 episodes of season 6.
It seems that the making of the episodes of season 6 is more ordinary, more conventional: many superfluous shots, less suspense, less captivating characters, the action is rather behind closed doors, leaves less room for the magnificent landscapes of New Zealand, the plot is linear, without overlapping as in previous seasons. In a word, the series becomes a bad Cluedo, a pitiful attempt at filmed theater in the provinces. Urgently, to satisfy the international public, it is necessary to call upon more serious scriptwriters if Tim Balme decided to purr.
What channel was season 6 I seemed to miss it having been away a lot
Awesome show. The four main characters of the show {Mike, Kristin, Breen and Jarrod] are all terrific. Nic Sampson is funny as Breen in many of the scenes throughout the series. Need to do an episode of Breen shirtless. Looking forward to season 7.
so entertaining! great writing! great acting and camaraderie! keep it going!!
Keep the stories coming, they are great.
can’t wait for season 7 best show on tv by far
Really love this show – looking forward to season 7 also. I love the characters and how they have developed over the last 6 seasons. Please, please, please keep going 😀
I LOVE this series. I really love the characters and the way the same ones turn up in most episodes. Their characters are always fleshed out and I love the way they interact. I want this series to continue as it’s the highlight of my week 🙂
