I'd forgotten about this show for a little while after having watched it about 8 or 9 years ago. And then I read a fanfic on it and it sparked my interest to watch it again. Unfortunately Rush is only (currently) available to stream on 10Play here in Australia-with ads-but as someone who doesn't have the DVDs, at least it's available so I shouldn't complain.
Season one is definitely my favourite. It was my favourite season when I first watched and it still is. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's because the characters are all new and exciting, and they haven't yet been ruined by the writing (thanks seasons three and four, in particular). I often wonder what could have happened in terms of storylines and the characters if Claire van der Boom hadn't left. Who would have replaced the character who was actually meant to die instead? I guess that's something for fanfictions now.
I am the kind of person who sometimes ships characters who never get together or it's only implied etc (basically non-canon I guess!). And I found myself shipping Kerry and Lawson, even though I know nothing happens, at least on screen. I don't know whether it was intentional or not but there is something to be said about the great chemistry between those two actors and the tension they brought which came to life when they shared scenes, and that's something I enjoyed on the rewatch.
The shaky cam was a little annoying (I don't remember being annoyed by it so much the first time I watched) but something I did gradually get used to. Some of the characters do start to get annoying as the seasons go on, and some, in the end, become really out of character to me. It's a shame because I think seasons one and two were (mostly) really great.
