Appetite

Storyline of international students and other migrants seeking permanent residency in Australia come across a mysterious disappearance of one of them.

It seems to me it's a very low budget series; however sometimes these can be hidden gems.

This series is unfortunately not.

Each episode is very, very short; about 9-10 minutes. I don't know why but still found it annoying.

Casting is poor; you can tell they're reading their lines but forget to put the right emotions in the lines.

I would have loved this series to be good as it includes many young actors and actresses.

Get the feeling some of them it was their first role.

Short and sweet, funny character actors bring a well written concept to life.

For the runtime it was well paced, had little twists to keep you watching and was well worth a watch.

The cast are diverse as needed and don't feel as if they're forced, regardless of some slight stereotypes being written in.

If anything it was a shame there weren't more episodes, as I could see it being fleshed out into a longer series, or at least a larger episodic runtime.

I very much enjoyed Raj as a character even with his time on screen being fairly small in comparison to the other characters.

Overall give it a shot as it's only around an hour long and have fun with it.
