Dog Park review – this charming comedy lures you in with dogs – but you’ll stay for the humans
Marketed as a comedy, the show is more of a light-touch drama, and it manages to sketch a fractious depiction of love that many will relate to
How do you create interesting drama themed around a dog park? If you’ve been to one before, it doesn’t exactly scream “rivetingâ€. I approached the ABC’s new six-part series wondering: will random people from the dog park meet and bonk? Will various disputes erupt, perhaps over where the off-leash area begins and ends? Will class wars break out between the bourgeoisie (chihuahuas), the working class (German shepherds) and the unemployed aristocracy (greyhounds)?

If you’re drawn to the ABC’s Dog Park solely for the dogs, or stumble upon it thinking it’s a companion piece to the new season of Muster Dogs, you might come away disappointed. Sure, it features a pack of loveable pups, but they’re not the main attraction. This smartly written six-part series turns around contemporary lives and relationships with humour and wisdom. Come for the doggy meet-cute, stay for the human comedy.
Leon Ford plays grumpy misanthrope Roland, who’s crash-landed into an unhappy middle age. His gregarious wife Emma (Brooke Satchwell) is on the verge of accepting a dream job overseas and effectively ending their already shaky marriage. His teenage daughter Mia (Florence Gladwin) barely acknowledges his existence. His main focus in life is day-drinking, complaining about the annoyances of the modern world and wondering where it all went wrong.
