Frayed

Gutted there were only 6 episodes of this, to be fair to some of the people who have given it low ratings based on the 1st show, it does get better the deeper you get into it, once the characters have landed in Australia you see different sides to them and I liked that the storylines focus on not just the 3 original members of the family but also the extended family and friends based in Australia. Everyone has their own story to tell and is experiencing some kind of traumatic life event in some way. The humour isn't laugh out loud jokes and simplistic misunderstandings or wordplay but based around a sense of awkwardness and a sense of real life situations and interactions between the characters, which makes them even more engaging. The ending leaves a mass of loose ends so I really hope a second season is commissioned soon!

I did not expect much when I started watching this, thinking it was another run of the mill comedy. But, the more I watched the more I fell in love with this absolute gem. It became one of my favourite TV shows. It has just the right blend of comedy and drama, moves at a good pace, just enough story lines and characters that it is not too much too follow. I really hope this pearl gets a second season, because it has so much more to offer. Brilliantly written by Sarah Kendall, who does a great job of portraying every facet of her character. To be honest, the story line descriptions do not do this series justice. It is so much more than "a wealthy woman loses her fortunes and moves back to Australia". We are addicted to it and are binge watching it but with only 6 episodes, one runs out of episodes very quickly. Looking forward to the next installment.

OK I am the first to admit that people who were born in the 80,s or later probably are probably to young to appreciate the humour. But I and my wife laughed until we cried at some parts of this show Only seen the first episode but gagging for more as they say

First, the cell phone story... you know the one. Cell phones in 1989 were enormous, and that story with her husband cracked me up. This has everything I love about Australian comedies. Diane Morgan always makes me laugh. Some of her lines are so crazy.

This. I had tried to watch it a while ago and turned it off about 10 minutes in well I watched 4 episodes last night and then the 5th wouldn't play. There is a lot of unnecessary stupid humour( especially when Jim and Sam fight) but then there's some really funny stuff. I saw the actor who plays Jim in another Australian series recently and He's a great actor( funny as heck) and I really like the actress who plays the mother tho she looks too young to have kids their ages. Any ways reminds me of something Waller Bridge would write. I loved Catastrophe and that's why I decided to give it another go. Glad I did. Wish their was more than 6 episodes.
