“We Can Be Heroes” was a brilliantly satirical take on the Australian identity, and possibly the best Australian television miniseries Ive ever seen. The DVD will be a must, and I have a feeling it will be riddled with extras like deleted scenes etc

The politcal/cultural climate in this country is rife for satire, and its creator has pulled out all the stops. The use of poignancy and genuine political issues helped add a compelling contrast to all the comedy, effectively complicating the characters and our relation to them, producing an interesting balance. Each episode was well written, well constructed and the spread of emotions across the series, as it built up to the finale was sheer dramatic/cinematic/satirical genius.
