SEAchange is feeling dated, by now, but that can be OK when viewed in context. Where I've lost my patience and my interest in this show is with the writing, which has veered off the rails in season 2. The characters are not so much funny or Querky as they are just stupid. And annoying. Some themes or subplots are just dragged out as if the writer(s) ran out of ideas.
There's no need to drag this review out - no need for excessive detail about the failures of various characters (and superficial 'acting' to match careless writing), so I'll stop here. Obviously, a lot of people like SeaChange, so it's a matter of disagreement about whether this series is your time or not. I've certainly come across other series, including from Australia, that resonated with me, with querks, unique characters and a sense of identity and place and warmth. This didn't come close, and I really wish it had.
