I really loved the series, I wish there had been more seasons!
Her biological family, are all classics. They aren't the lowest form of bogans around, but they are rough around the edges, but lovely people.. The most common stereotype of a bogan, which we actually have a LOT of where I live, are smokers/drinkers/ drug addicts who lack even basic hygiene and basic public etiquette, they usually drive cars that are cheap- sorry Holden and Ford, but they're the most common and they drive like idiots and they either pop out kids for money or post statuses online for someone to give them a lift to Hand in their dole forms and I've seen some say they'll pay In ciggies...
My parents have seen bits of it as they've past by while I'm watching and stopped in their tracks because they said I am just like Amber, just more foul mouthed. Lol.
I absolutely LOVE Margaret. She is upper class and has the attitude to go with it but once she gets a taste of how a different half live, she adapts to it like a fish to water. Love the episodes of her at the races, Especially when she gets drunks with those randoms and eats a more than likely greasy kebab which she'll pay for the next day. Lol.
I love all of the characters except one- DANNY.
I CANNOT STAND HIM!!!!
HE is an arrogant, obnoxious, snotty, sooky. often lying, ALWAYS WHINGING, Hypocritical, self-Indulgent, 'holier-than-thou', over dramatic, overbearing, cocky, sex pest (to his poor wife, whom I can't understand what she sees in him!). I often fast forward through the scenes he's in.
Thankfully he doesn't represent ALL AUSTRALIAN MEN.
I actually hoped that Bess and Amber would form somewhat of a better relationship throughout the series- a perfect opportunity missed in Season 3 when Amber was looking for someone in the house to go for a mani/pedi or hang out.
Overall the characters all work well together and I'm sure we all know someone who is nearly like all of the characters Involved.
I've watched the series several times now and still love it.
