Blue Heelers is for the most part a well written, well directed, and well acted crime drama. Of course in the later series it gets too formulaic: Add one part very likable crime drama, and dump a crap load of overly emotional and unprofessional behavior into the mix and the viewer if not Aussie, may feel they would be better off in a land where the police are more professional. When they add the character of Joss Peroni, they should have just chucked the series in. He's a liar, cheat, open to favors in the way of gambling tips and he will look the other way... If a partner risks their life to save an accident victim, don't worry, Joss will stand back, until it is time to take the credit. Lies to hi mother that he is so well off to spend thousands on her vacation from gambling money he doesn't even possess yet... So unprofessional that it make the whole station seem incompetent to keep him on. The series started off great and then got formulaic, and that was sad.
