Rake

We started watching Rake on Netflix recently. It's an Australian series and so far it's pretty good. The main character is an amoral lawyer, who is (for want of another word) is a complete rake. But he has his moments and is very charmingly portrayed by Richard Roxburgh. He is a drug addict, drunk and a womanizer, with an ex-wife, a teenage son, a string of women who he has had sex with, and who is in love with a prostitute who he frequents as well. He also is a tax cheat.

In the pilot the guest star was none other than Hugo Weaving, who played a economist who was a cannibal in his spare time. I've also seen Sam Neill in the guest role of a respected pediatrician who got caught having "a three way" with his wife and the family dog!

Some of the dialogue is completely hilarious!
