What happened to Vernon's cat? Does anyone care about his cat?! Did the lovely lady from next door take him to live with her? Did the fireries take him to a shelter after they had doused the flames at his home? I don't understand why this very important matter was not addressed! I also have no idea how I'm going to find the 250-ish more characters that are required for this review. I agree with the others who said that the series should have stopped at Episode 4. It would have been the perfect ending. I even shouted this out loud at the time, to the empty room and my cat. Speaking of cats - I hope Vernon's was okay.

Real People - Real Stories - Wrapped In A Bovine Hug
1 October 2013
In a small town in Central California, we meet five young ranch hands living and working on a dairy farm owned and run by the very capable Ms. Liz. I instantly felt as though I lived there with them on the farm - so vivid are their faces, emotions and dialogue. I became totally immersed in the struggles of these very real human beings. I laughed and I cried, I cheered and I ached.
The direction, acting and cinematography are superb. They meld together into something very warm and familiar - with the use of local settings, and that air of closeness so characteristic of rural communities. Everybody knows everybody and then some - which is not always a good thing! The cast is outstanding; the chemistry perfect. It's a wonderful mixture of the happily recognisable and the newly unforgettable.
The music score is wonderful. Each piece and song has been selected and performed so well, that they highlight and complement without encroaching. It is a memorable soundtrack that will have you seeking out the artists afterwards.
I'm Australian, living half a world away from where this film is set and the story nurtured - but this is my town too. These are my people. These are my struggles. And these are my triumphs. There is a good chance that they are yours too. I cannot recommend this film highly enough. You will be richer for seeing it, and it is one that will stay with you for a very long time.
