Narrative Summary
The main hero of the story named George Turner decides to change his life completely moving to the seaside in New Zealand together with his two children Shay and Arlo.
The reason for that is quite tragic – the death of George’s wife. He is set to make a fresh start in his life after becoming widowed. Well, leaving his career of the popular columnist at one of the highest rated newspapers in Sydney, he moves to a small town and hopes that everything will go in a proper improving way.
His expectations come to be frustrated as his teenage children are not satisfied with his single-handed decision. All events unfold in the way that has not been predicted by him. However, maybe it is for the best.
Healthily Received
The scripted serial has been accepted with flying flowers. The average 1 million viewership has been maintained throughout the course of the first run. The second release is noted for some decline – 0.7 million watchers per each new episode. Nevertheless, it can be received as a strong level of ratings for the further production. This fact can be proved also by scores on various aggregator websites. For instance, on IMDb, it constitutes 7.4 perfect points.
As for the Future
The potential is great indeed. When can we get to know something at least regarding the future of this project? The info about the 800 Words season 3 release date, as well as cornering the immediate resumption, can be obtained only next year due to the recent second season premiere in this August, though the revival can be confirmed much earlier. Thus, just stay tuned for updates!
