Not as funny as its premise - Satan being sent to Sydney. Frank Thring played Satan and you know he would've been wonderful. O'Grady can't really think of what to do with Satan when he gets there. He meets a family (man, woman, daughter) and their neighbour... and they all feel fairly interchangeable. The most fun comes from satan's wife who tries to seduce all the men.
The people on land feel too similar they should have been differentiated and the role of Satan is mixed up with his helper, Stoker. They should have had Satan and his wife romance people more - if that was too sexy, then made Satan and his wife siblings so they were single.
Some funny lines and moments but doesn't have a story up to its concept, which is great.
