Preppers

There are many issues around reconciliation that seem too sensitive to ask about. What this show does, most cleverly in the context of a story about the end of everything, raises the issues from an indigenous perspective and addresses them wonderfully. Comedy often amplifies or exaggerates in order to lift our awareness without threat or confrontation. This show does just that.

Watched this on abc iview. Comedy show with good acting and story. It got a bit too serious sometimes about political topics though. Jack Charles is a scene stealer.

Preppers is a fun comedy with some political bite. Set mostly at Eden 2, a camp for doomsday preppers, each episode has a self-contained sitcom style plot as well as progressing a larger series arc, combined with a flashbacks that charts how Charlie, the central character and audience surrogate, wound up amongst the apocalyptic crew (it involves Australia Day going very, very wrong). The plot setups are silly, the jokes come fast and mostly land and while the realism is sometimes pushed into magical territory (there's a musical song and dance with a mythical monster, for instance) the show remains grounded enough that the pathos is still heartfelt. Easy watching. Recommended.

Watched all that I think is on offer atm ,, (up to Shangrila) ...laugged cried & laughed... Running away to start a new but history just doesn't disappear as much as we'd like it to... History repeating itself in sarcastical way,,,& Australia produces & harbours the best talent.... Can't wait for more,, but guess I have too ...

All the good in episode 1 was undone by making this all about Charlie

Over actor.

Maybe it will get back on track?

I'm not sure it will. I wonder if they have multiple writers?
