Crazy Fun Park

I absolutely loved this show, and I watched all ten episodes over a couple of days as soon as I stumbled on it on ABC iView.

I found the tone to be fairly light-hearted, and yet, this is a show about (mostly) dead teenagers (or rather, their ghosts) - and as the way they each died unravelled, you may shed some tears like I did. There are some heavy themes throughout, but they were handled with such grace and compassion by the writers and producers of this show.

I definitely would caution parents of young children against watching this, unless you're all ready for some pretty big questions about death, mental health, and the meaning of life.

I thought the acting was wonderful as well, even the characters who seemed less "animated" - this felt intentional.

I know this only just came out, but I very much hope there will be a season 2! :)

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.

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.

This is what The Midnight Club should have been. I really loved the setting of the theme park. It brought to mind that early film from the 90s Little Monsters. I also thought of 80s/90s Tim Burton. It was emotional, funny, and not quite scary but creepy at times. Oh, and the use of songs from bands like The 69 Eyes and White Zombie was a great touch. I am only on episode 9 so not sure how it ends but I hope it ends without a cliffhanger. I would love this as a limited series. It has some PC stuff that will put some people off but that comes with almost every modern show, it isn't forced here though. It doesn't bother me, and I would never let that be a reason to pass up something that could be amazing. I love all the episodes and characters so far! No real blood or guts, just some creepy makeup on certain characters. Loved the three conjoined brothers!
