I loved Rake from the start. The perfect mixture of humour, sarcasm, fabulous observational comedy and beautiful emotional commentary on human strength, weakness and the fragility of life. Series 5 is the perfect ending. While starting slowly, and certainly different from standard Rake episodes based in court, the series starts to take flight in episode 3 and then hits winning mark after mark until the end. Incredible writing underpins the wonderful performances, making this the ultimate reflection of Australian creativity and a unique voice as well as an indictment of the times in which we live.
