Packed To the Rafters Season 3: DVD Review


Packed To The Rafters S3

Rating: M
Released by Universal Home Ent

A third year for the popular Aussie drama sees changes in many ways.

First up, the Rafters now have a new baby and that puts pressure on financially and emotionally. Add to that the departure of son Nathan divorcing his wife and the death of one of their own and it's the whole gamut that the family encounters this year.

But there's some light in it too - Carbo gets a new girlfriend in the shape of Kiwi Hannah Marshall and there's some fun to be had with that.

Packed To the Rafters is like an old jumper you refuse to throw out in many ways; it's comforting, reminds you of good times and is just comfortable - the series continues to have a life beyond its cast changes and while the ending this year is a little more powerful and emotional than midway through the season, that's not necessary a bad thing.

An identifiable ensemble and a bunch of solid actors means you can happily wile away the time with this family.

Rating: 6/10
