Joyfully daft series. I've found it hard to find a good comedy series. One that both I and my wife will like especially. This and The Cleaner are worth my Brit Box subscription. There are some proper hilarious moments. The dog walker episode had us in stitches and we often quote the tarantulas episode.

As a side note, I was curious and confirmed that Dianne Morgan is a vegan, unlike her no respect for anything character. This is probably why I get to hear The Smiths in the soundtrack and a few other references.

There is a lot of craziness and silliness and not all of it works but it all comes from her being able to go all in on her imagination and it's a fun series because of this.

I was happy to see that there is another season though will likely take ages to reach Aus.

I made it to the end in some sense of misguided patriotism. I want Australia to have a film industry. My wife asked why he was placed in this facility when... it doesn't matter. Because this sets up the pro immigration SBS watching, Greens voting leftist agenda - Strangely made through a film starring a stereotypical bogan petty criminal with other crims. It occasionally worked still. There were some clever moments. Some funny moments. It is mostly funny that you would go in thinking it would be funny or a crime thriller and get the most bleeding heart leftist propaganda chick flick. No romance though? Just lots of feels. I grew up around bogans and was also amused imagining their reaction to this. Welcome to 2025.

I'm enjoying the series a lot. I caught a little on ABC and though I had little idea what was going on I knew I wanted to watch it from the start on iView and find out.

You can sometimes tell a passion project, which on looking into it, it certainly is for Brendan Cowell.

There's a multi-faceted approach and depth to the characters I caught straight away. Even as you can see the damage Plum is causing other people around him and are affected by this, you feel bad for him, with his identity and world set to fall apart. Same as the other characters around him. I don't often feel like that watching a show these days.

Along these lines, the seemingly mandatory DEI inclusions, I liked the characters so far. I haven't got my back up about it. What a relief. I hate being that guy. I spent a lot of time with Sylvia Plath's work and Bukowski's for a time too so was intrigued seeing these hallucinations.

There's a tension from knowing what will happen to the sport, to people's careers and more if the truth comes out and everyone trying to avoid it. How many other players, how many lawsuits? I'm hooked.
