Breakers is an Australian television series made by the Network Ten between 1998 and 1999.
The series revolves around The Breakers building situated near Bondi Beach, and the lives of the people who work and live there. The building houses three businesses all run by the same family. Breaker's Modelling School is run by Paul Simmons, The Breaker, a local newspaper is run by Eve, Paul's ex-wife, and Kate's Cafe, run by Kate Markham, Eve's sister. During its short run the series dealt with some controversial story lines and was not afraid to confront contentious issues, such as homosexuality and teenage suicide. Unusually, the program aired outside of prime-time; each episode was aired mid afternoon each weekday and then repeated late that night.
It was Breakers' somewhat edgy reputation coupled with low ratings that eventually led to the series being cancelled.
