Review of Water Rats

Water Rats (1996–2001)
10/10
Rewatching this show in 2024
16 January 2024
I'm currently rewatching Water Rats on Prime Video. It is annoying that the streaming platform lists season one as seasons one and two (and therefore stuffs up the rest of the seasons), and has about 15 episodes in season four (which is actually season three) which, when clicked on, don't match the episode title you click on.

However, the show itself is great especially from seasons one to four which is what my rating is for. I don't always bother with the last two seasons, mainly because it really did go downhill and the cast, to me, didn't seem to gel as well as the earlier seasons. And while everyone in the earlier cast is worth mentioning, I will specifically mention Colin Friels and Catherine McClements as Frank and Rachel. Those two really did have an amazingly natural chemistry and rapport with one another, and it came across on screen with their characters. Steve Bisley, too, as Jack Christey, had great chemistry with McClements which was also great to watch.

It's nice to see so many different locations around Sydney- even though a lot of it definitely has changed now. And the theme song is still great. Such a classic.
