“A scathing legal drama that’s teeming with sex, violence and smart dialogue” –The Guardian
As a lawyer, Cleaver Greene (Richard Roxburgh, Moulin Rouge!, Van Helsing) prefers to defend those who are utterly hopeless and probably guilty; his clients include murderers, bigamists, and even cannibals. In his personal life, he dodges debt collectors and the Tax Office, while pining after a former prostitute (Adrienne Pickering, The Reef) and flirting with his best friend’s wife (Danielle Cormack, Wentworth). Despite his roguish ways, Cleaver’s wit and charm have won him many cases and loyal friends over the years (DVD 3-Disc Set, 8 episodes, $39.99). Series 1-2 on Acorn TV.
My Thoughts
Rake is an exciting Australian series from Acorn Media. It centers around defense attorney Richard Roxburgh. He prides himself on defending bad guys: really bad guys, including terrorists and murderers! His personal life is messy too. He's constantly in debt and always after the wrong women. This third season had eight awesome episodes.
1- Cleaver is prison and starting to adjust. He is surrounded by friends but there are also enemies he has to face.
2-Cleaver is released from prison but he finds his world turned upside down. There's a new baby, an unexpected marriage, and a scary diagnoses.
3- Cleaver takes on a case for a gambling addict. He also meets Malcolm's sister Felicity.
4- Felicity returns because of a connection to a murder. Barnie struggles with some difficult goodbyes.
5- Cleaver takes on a case for a sex offender and his workload increases.
6 - Cleaver wants to take his relationship to the next step, but fate intervenes.
7- Cleaver helps out in a hostage situation, but takes a bullet in the rear-end.
8- Cleaver has tons of cases and things are going well with Felicity, but somehow things go awry. A season finale that you leave you wondering.
I really enjoyed this show. Cleaver is really a rake, just as the titles implies, but he has me crushing on him just the same! Each episode was packed full of adventure, and I always enjoy seeing the judges in those white wigs. There is a lot of violence in the series, so make sure the kiddos are asleep before you pop in this disc. Overall, an exciting third season, and I can't wait to see what happens in Series 4. If you want to grab a copy of this DVD for yourself, you can purchase one on Acorn Media or on Amazon.
