Mr Inbetween

Reading through most of these reviews I think mostly everyone can agree on one thing...Mr. InBetween is a really really good show! This show came out of nowhere (Australia actually) and has hooked everyone who has given it a chance. It's easily one of the most underrated shows on right now and I can't wait for more!

Just finished watching all 6 episodes and was clapping at the end. If you get aussie humour and their way of life, then you will enjoy this start to finish.

If Tarrantino made a TV series in australia with a dash of breaking bad, then this would be it. Roll on season 2.....

What a thoroughly entertaining series this is. The story, the characters and the cast are all fantastic.

I binge-watched this series, which is easy to do. The episodes are only 28 minutes long and there are only six of them.

Casting kids in roles for TV is always a challenge as the lines, the actors and the settings almost always seem forced and unnatural... but Chika Yasumura (as Brittany) is simply awesome in her role. She's cute as a button and a 'natural' on screen.

This is simply gripping and exciting telly.

I don't think I've ever been more surprised by a show than I have been for Mr. Inbetween. I actually don't know anyone who's seen it that doesn't love it. There's a reason this show has a 8.7 rating here and a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The lead character (Scott Ryan as Ray) is both a tough guy who you shouldn't ever mess with and also a kind and good man. This show has something for everyone...it is funny, violent, thrilling, mysterious, etc. It's a show that should be binged because once you finish an episode you can't wait until the next one. If you haven't yet seen this underrated show then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible.

First, let me preface this by saying that I am not Australian and I had no issues with understanding what's been said in the show. If you have a decent grasp on English language you'll be fine through 90% of the dialogues.

Now, to the actual show: it is great! I really struggle to compare it to anything else, I think it's in a league of it's own. Do not be discouraged by <30 min runtime, it's really well paced, and the appropriate amount of content has been packed into each episode (at least in the two I've watched so far).

It's about crime, it's about life, it has some funny or even sweet moments - just the right amount. The protagonist is certainly a man you wouldn't want to **** with. But despite his violent tendencies, he has this all other side to him - a father who clearly wants the best for his daughter, a good friend. He seems to possess an ability to detach himself to a large degree from what he does for a living - like someone who accepted "this is what I do". He's definitely not without a sense of justice or conscience albeit warped by his environment.

Can't wait to watch upcoming episodes!
