Rake - Netflix

It's an Aussie series on Netflix, originally aired on the ABC.

Rake is about a drug taking, gambling, womanising lawyer based on a real character. Absolutely top series (I think there are 4 series)

Well worth watching - a binge worthy series

Re: Rake - Netflix

Yes agreed Bruce. Series 12 & 3 were superb. Richard Roxburgh is a master. But series 4?..Nah. I think it should have ended with him heading for Canberra. That fourth series just did not work IMO.

I tend to agree over series 4 I think they just ran out of ideas.

Probably one of the few poms to have watched it.Thoroughly enjoyed it, but agree final series was a lot weaker.

I got about fifteen minutes into the first program and gave up on it, not really my thing ...

Re: Rake - Netflix

The Americans went for it and - as usual, tried to make their own version. Don't think it went well.
