Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

We all have our favorite "happy place" shows which we watch over and over again when we want to visit an uncomplicated town with quirky neighbors and personable stars. For our family, these include Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie and Northern Exposure. Weld and its people fit right in that company. The show has solid performances and good, if predictable, writing. But that's the thing about happy place shows; their problems are easily solved with a lot of love and support. If you're feeling down or just want to spend an hour or two in a warm eccentric town, then I highly recommend 800 Words. I can't wait for the new season!

This show is one of the best comedy-dramas in years. The actors are superb and the plot is edge of your seat enjoyable, wanting you constantly wanting another episode. It does a great job of placing the viewer in the center of the action and truly cheering on the characters. I just wish that Season 3 was available in the United States.

Yes, I know teenage girls are difficult - doesn't mean I want to watch it for entertainment. She has no redeeming qualities, has a low monotone voice, constantly complaining and being mean to everyone around her. She ruins the "feel-good charming" aspect of the show. Plus there is just no compelling reason for this family to live here and they really really seem to hate everything about it. So....?

After his wife dies, he brings his teenage kids from a big city in Australia to small town New Zealand to start over. Characters are quirky without over-doing it. I enjoyed it so much from the first episode that I binge-watched the first two series in a day and a half, and am looking forward to the third.
