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.

Just finished Season 6. I will certainly vote for a season 7! Go for it! Great show with fantastic characters!
CoolWriter31 says
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
JD Dean says
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.
