Maybe it is because I'm from Amsterdam and didn't get to know the right kind of Ozzies, but it took me three (3!!!!!) episodes before I realized this is meant to be a comedy.
I guess this is the way most Europeans have experienced Australian culture and reports since the '80s. Nobody can remember "The Sullivans" but everyone remembers Kyley Minogue (and the level of her songs).
Knowing this, it all seemed a bit stupid to expect Westerners to understand the (lackluster) humour of this series and truly thought it to be a realistic depiction of Australian (and American) "special ops" for much too long.
Guess I don't recommend it to anyone.
