  • Just another Boring Unoriginal cop show that's going knowhere.

    "Mediocre"
    Rush was interesting in the first couple of episodes but really the show is unoriginal and isn't much of a good cop show. It has it's moments but is pretty dull, I mean a mediocre script with some mediocre dialogue. It doesn't really deliver as a well-thought out cop show. So really isn't worth your time unless you 're bored to the extent. I do enjoy some of the car scene chases and I did like the whole affair with 2 of the cops, but every episode it's the same thing were there's some robery, or bomb, or death threat. And if they're thinking about making a 2nd season. They're out of their mind.moreless
  • I wish that all police officers were this sexy. I would be glad to be questioned by them anytime.

    "Perfect"
    I have always enjoyed most of the Australian shows that this country produces, they are much better than watching reality shows. I suppose that is why my TV is now used mostly as a monitor to watch DVD's and not television shows, apart from the news there is not much else worth watching, unless you like mind numbing rubbish from other countries. The only reality shows I may watch are those were they do make overs of peoples houses and gardens that deserve it due to what they have done for others. So on that point Australian Film Corporation pull ya fingers out we have plenty of great actors, give them jobs and give us something worth watching.moreless
  • Great Australian Drama

    This is a great show that's strength is not its action but rather its character development. Interesting characters that sometimes seem like they are archetypes breakout and surprise you. The recent shock death of a major character should also lead to greater character development. It doesn't help that most of the characters are pretty to look at (even the guys). The actions and situations that the officers find themselves in are suspensful and entertaining. Its a great thing that the US writers strike brought this series out of the bin and onto our screens. Overall a good show that deserves watching.moreless
  • Australia, brace yourselves. There's a new cop show in town and it's here so stay.

    "Perfect"
    Okay, I'll admit - Rush started off a little shaky. During the first five or so episodes The music was too heavy for the scenes and there was some INCREDIBLY dodgy filming at some points however I am REALLY glad that I continued to watch through that because this show is amazing. Rush makes bold moves that other cops shows are too weak to make - killing off Grace was a really risky move yet it was pulled off very nicely (leaving a VERY sad Josh [Callan Mulvey])

    Originally I watched this show because it was on after NCIS (only the best show EVER made and all who don't watch it should) and because it was filmed in Melbourne and I liked to pick out the places that i'd been! I am so glad that I stuck with it becuase it has deleted ALL my preconceived ideas about Australian TV. It is well written, has COPIUS amounts of sexual tension (Both resolved and unresolved)and has now been upgraded to the coveted #2 position on my favourite shows. I am really glad I stuck with this because it has amazing potential that gets filled even more each episode. All you who don't like cop shows - piss off cause this is GOOD.

    If you don't agree, I don't care; I'm not changing my mind (however, feel free to chat with me, I like to hear your opinions). 9.5/10

    Until next season, xox Mel.moreless
  • A SWAT like police team in Melbourne tackle with serious crimes day by day as well as dealing with personal life issues that affect the whole team. One of the better Aussies shows on TVmoreless

    This show sets itself apart from most aussie shows on TV right now by being actually fun to watch. It has enough action to keep the viewers on the edge of their seat as well as enough personal drama of every character to keep the show intriguing enough to keep watching week in and week out.

    The show follows a SWAT like sqad of police that roam the streets of Melbourne tackling major violent crimes. This is the core of the show that keeps me watching every week but I have to admit that the show isn't perfect.

    Its major flaw has to be that it still comes across as boring in large patches of almost every episode with it only really ramped up in the beginning and the end of each ep. But these moments make it well worth a viewing. Anotre tiny problem that it is has is the relationships between the characters, most seem tacked on which makes it harder to feel for the characters.

    But again the action on offer makes it well worth a go. Not everyones cup of tea but still a fun watch in my book.moreless
