  • Great Show!

    All five of our family live in Vancouver, Canada and absolutely love this show. We try never to miss it. We enjoy each episode and talk about it together at dinnertime. It is on at 5 pm on weekdays here which is inconvenient but we try and get home in time to see it as much as possible. What we really like is the development of the main characters. The only other shows we have here that equal that type of writing for dramas are shows like N.C.I.S. and Law & Order.

  • Amazing Australian Drama

    "Perfect"
    By EmmaPallister, May 29, 2011
    I started watching sea patrol in season two on channel nine and loved the episdoe I watched so I went back and rewatched the first season and I have since been a major fan ever since.

    This show does what Aussie drama is supposed to bring in the big wigs in aussie drama like Lisa and Jermey, but also lets the newer younger stars come through and show their talents off for the rest of us to witness!

    I like how much they have kept the navy look up, and haven't made too many silly Hollywood like takes on what the navy actually does for our country. Another show that gives us a little drama like look into what our tax help pay for, and how we are protected here in Australia it is a shame this show isn't shown majorly overseas!moreless

  • This Australian Drama, Does exactly what an Aussie Drama is meant to do. I watched all episodes up to date (till season 4 ep 13) in 4 days, i was so in love.moreless

    So this is an Australian drama following the crew from the Royal Australian Navy, aboard a Armidale Class Patrol Boat off the coast of Cairns, as they deal with boarder protection, and other Ocean things that come with it. Each episode, some would say, is overly Dramatic, But i would like to point out again, and Emphasise, that this is an Australian Drama, and therefore, Of course it has alot of drama in every episode. It has Forbidden love, Love that never seems to come together, explosions, bombs, hijacking's, kidnappings, Hostage situations, and alot of Ian Stenlake looking worried on the Bridge of Hammersly. Every episode has good looking Aussie blokes in Kevlar, and on many occasions they go shirtless :P

    So overall, it has everything. Drama, Action, Romance, and there are some Great one-liners, so Comedy, and the characters are written so well you have no choice, but to fall in Love with them.moreless

    I have only just started watching Sea Patrol but i am hooked already. I find the episodes really easy to watch and really easy to follow (partly due to the situations being similar in every episode but that doesnt really bother me because it is everything else in the episodes which makes me want to watch). I love all of the characters particularly E.T., Nikki and Buffer, I was very happy when E.T. came back to the ship. I think all of the characters work really well together (or at least look like they do) and the banter between all the boys is fun to watch. I love the fact that this is an Aussie show that isnt quite as silly as neighbours and home and away but it has its moments and i just love watching it, the only peoblem is that there isnt enough episodes!moreless

  • I must admit moving to Australia I didn't really think much of the Aussie made drama's. This show put pay to that.

    I must admit moving to Australia I didn't really think much of the Aussie made drama's. This show put pay to that.

    Iv'e always been very critical and analytical by nature, able to find problems in almost any tv show or film. This show however had good plotlines, actors that played their characters to perfection, a good cast of characters that worked well together within the limits of the script, and great sets and filmography.

    The way the show uses the strength of the reality of the Australian navey, coupled with the comedy and sheer ridiculousness of what at times seems like a large disfunctional family. Makes the show the success I think it will become. Even with my typically analytical eye I found it hard to find fault with this show.moreless
