Forse meglio non vedere il tralier visto lo stile molto trash del canale ma la serie mi sta piacendo molto . Non che sia un capolavoro ovviamente ma è una serie positiva che ci vuole ogni tanto 

(clicca per mostrare/nascondere)

E il triangolo telefonatissimo stranamente mi sta piacendo pure . Sarebbe sicuramente più comodo per Eadie la relazione con Kirk ma vedremo anche perche lui ha l'agricola altrove e soprattutto non c'è stato ancora niente tra i due
E' anche la seconda serie australiana che vedo dove la mamma teenager è costretta a accudire il figlio che non vuole per le prime settimane mentre avviano il processo di adozione, sta cosa è interessante, almeno per l'aspetto telefilmico
