Crazy Fun Park

I went in blindly with low expectations and I was not disappointed. This show is a hidden gem! There are no particularly unlikable characters, and once we see their backstories they each get more interesting. I am also surprised at the LGBT representation, it was shockingly good! The acting was good, the storyline was full of heart and even made me shed some tears.

It's certainly not for everyone, but I still highly recommend watching this. The themes of loss and grief might lean into more mature audiences, but isn't exactly a horror series. Some aforementioned themes and visual effects here and there could be a little bit unsettling for some.

For some bad stuff (and this is pretty nitpicky,) some things just get forgotten. I'd give some examples but that's kind of hard to do keeping this review spoiler free. As much as I wish for a season 2, the ending was perfectly fine. I wish this show can get an actual fanbase that I could talk about the show with.

Sorry if this review is a bit ranty, but I just love this show so much.

I went into this not really expecting anything since the Goosebumps re-release was such a disappointment.

I went into it with even less expectation because it was Australian. But I was hopeful since it was Australian and I did not know any of the actors so you do not get bogged down with their personal opinions.

It was going well until episodes 5 or 6 where it starts to show more of the B characters personalities, stories and coupling traits. And then by episode 7 we started with the grammar lessons.

From there you are so distracted and irritated by that unwanted and un-useful injected information that you are annoyed and just quit.

Absolutely fantastic series!

It has every element you want in a show, from a bit of comedy, to a bit of thriller, to emotional scenes. Actually it was a very emotional and moving story.

The actors are outstanding.

We didn't realise it was for children when we started watching, and certainly didn't feel childish in any way.

It's definitely worth a watch, 100% and isn't scary at all. Actually it's rather beautiful and I'm not ashamed to say I did cry.

I'm really hoping for a second series as although the ending was fantastic and could be left there, I definitely want more from this show and the eery Park behind it.

This show is an amazing idea that is executed as poorly as possible. To begin, Mapplethorle is downright abusive to his friend yet were asked to sympathize with him. This, in tandem with Clausen's over-acting makes for a downright unbearable character. I'm a HUGE fan of inclusion but this shows hyper fixation is so obsessive that, instead of utilizing it naturally, it turns entire episodes into lectures on pronouns and relationships, which actually stands in its own way. This show celebrates an abusive friendship and fails to find the nuance it needs to make an impact. Absolutely worth skipping.

I didn't have any expectations for this and only picked it as I couldn't figure out the hotel TV.

Anyway, I ended up being hooked and binged all 10 episodes.

It does have some funny elements but, for me, I thought it was a really well crafted drama with some horror, loads of emotion and some life lessons.

I have to say I didn't expect to cry at all watching this show but I did have a little blub.

I'm not sure if there could be a season 2 unless the focus is on a different character but I'm really impressed that this "kids" show was so well done.

Overall, a really enjoyable story that deals with death and being able to let go.
