The Hollowmen

Any other aussies getting into "The Hollowmen" ?

Last nights episode was probably the best of the series (so far) I thought, almost like a new version of frontline images/smilies/wink.gif

Yeah I am loving this show. Looking forward to it each week. This weeks episode with the military recruitment was good, but I think I enjoyed last weeks with the "Prime Minister's future proofing initiative" the most.

Reminds me of a combination of Yes Minister/Prime Minister and Frontline.

Has that clever political feel of Yes Minister, which is scarily quite close to how the sections of the real government operate.

Seems to be a show which people either "get" or don't. I find that those who don't pay attention and have quite a good understanding of government and current affairs tend to find it boring and not funny.

Overall a great show and am looking forward to it come back in a couple of weeks.

Seems to be replacing the Gruen transfers time slot after the olympics.

I've only caught a couple of episodes but I've really liked it - just need to make more effort to remember to watch / record it.

Yeah, we have to watch it each week, along with The Gruen Transfer when it was on, as part of my Media Literacy course at uni.
