Warning: Spoilers
The reboot of the series is ridiculous. The ONLY good thing about this series is that it's no longer so all white but a stereotype of an Indian character or as homophobic as the original run.

I've seen that in a lot of reviews but watched it anyway. Is anyone supposed to like Bob Jelly? Why would he get repeated chances only to continue to be a disgusting character? Why would the judge help him escape justice? Is Australian justice this lax? I know it's a comedy but come on! Fresh out of jail and a literal crime spree and nothing happens to him?

Also, where did her son go? Where did the daughter come from? Why is the second husband in jail rather than write him off some other way? They changed actresses for the elder daughter, why not change with the son or husband? They don't even mention him!

Another sister slept with sisters partner and got knocked up theme. Is there zero morality in this family? Wouldn't elder daughter have learned after her own childhood that this would be a problem? I have never once been so drunk I slept with my brothers-in-law or even a friend's partner.

Where's Kevin's son? He wasn't at the wedding? Another role they could easily have recast but instead shoehorned in a character that partially replaced the original bailiff when the actor sadly died so young.

Let's not get started with the radio host narrating the show.

Get a grip, Australian TV. The theme of sisters betraying each other runs deep.
