All 4 seasons of Rake are available on Netflix. It stars Richard Roxburgh (Moulin Rouge), Daniella Cormack (Bea Smith in Wentworth) and Matt Day (Muriels Wedding). There's also a fair few guest stars including Toni Collette, Cate Blanchette, Sam Neill (😨 for his storyline), Rachel Griffths and Hugo Weaving.
I started watching at the weekend and I'm already half way through season 3! (8 episodes to a season. Aussie TV is, I think more similar to UK TV where season lengths are concerned.)
The American version (still titled 'Rake' with Greg Kinnear) is available on UKTV, but I prefer this version, Roxburgh is great in the role and really funny.
"Richard Roxburgh plays Cleaver Greene, a talented but self-destructive barrister who uses unconventional methods and usually defends those beyond redemption. With unyielding optimism he takes on only the most difficult court cases that no one else wants, from suicide bombing to sex offences and thefts to psychotic school girl drama. At the same time the Sydney barrister tries to put his personal life in order, where his addiction to short term highs and women land him into trouble."
