For a start I haven't read the Les Norton book(/s?). I have enjoyed this show and liked the performances of the characters. I only started watching at the end of September 2019 and I'm up to episode 9, would recommend this show
It's good to see content that will attract a larger audience to the ABC. A few people are complaining its not a direct copy of books. By updating the text, the content appeals to a broader audience the other half of the population women. If they stuck with the dated text, it would have resembled the corniness of an Alvin Purple movie.
There are parts in series that push this ocker comedy to over the top corniness, but overall the series was enjoyable. Perfecting casting of Les Norton.
Never heard of or read the books so I come to this as just the TV show. Perhaps for me a blessing as I love the show I don't look for anything meaningful but just a fun story telling of a time in eighties Sydney/Bondi/Kings Cross area.
It's unpolished , blokey, strong characters filled with deprecating humour. Acting is pretty okay .
Look it probably won't win a hoard of awards at the Logies but for a mindless fun filled 50-55minutes on a Sunday evening in front of the box one could do far worse. Enjoy it for what it is entertainment.
Hi All,
Read a scathing review about this show and almost didn't watch it.
Wow I'm glad I did. I was impressed.
Not exactly as I visualized it when reading them all, but great choices from the available talent pool.
Kept me up like the books did.
What else can I say. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

- WissenswertesBoth the co producer and co star David Wenham aren't fans of the books, having stated: series co-producer, John Edwards, who admits he "wasn't a fan back in the day" of Barrett's "extremely popular" books, which have required a "huge amount" of reinvention: "They weren't art, and in fact lots of the characters written as very backward-looking males have become female characters, and they've been empowered. The charm of the voice has been maintained and the sketchier elements deleted." But Wenham found reading the Les Norton books troubling. "It was a bit of a chore, because although there's great humour and they're wonderful source material, there's a whole heap of stuff that, to put it bluntly, is offensive these days. So the creators have done a pretty fine job taking the jewels out of the piece and letting the rest slide by."
