Reception

[edit]

On viewing advance copies of the first six episodes, Harry Robinson of The Sydney Morning Herald called it a "cleanly made, attractive show" that's "worth a handful of courage" to produce more.[3] Robinson later called the first episode "as refreshing as a walk around an orchard on a spring morning".[4] The same masthead called the first episode "highly promising" and "well worth watching".[5]
