Twitter reviews: The Shire

Now, we at Time Out did not watch The Shire last night – we were either too worried it wouldn't live up to our high expectations or too busy catching up on recorded eps of Being Lara Bingle waiting on our DVRs, you decide. But you know who did watch The Shire? A helluva lot of people on the Twitterverse. And really, they're opinion matters more than ours. So, here it is, what Twitter had to say about Channel Ten's new Laguna-style reality series...

Have just had what I'm calling "The Shire talk" with my daughter. Began with "Now, let this be a lesson to you..." #TheShire #theshiretv

#TheShireTV Mayor Carol Provan has told @B105LSA the show is a "joke" and the girls look like "the Kardogians" (Kardashians?) #NewsRoom
