Puberty Blues

This was a good piece of Aussie 70's nostalgia. I wondered why it ended so abruptly and it turns out that the production company went bankrupt.

The show is about two Aussie girls growing up in the 70's. A coming of age type story. I have seen the film and I thought the series was much better.

Loved it!!!

The wonderful stupid life we lived as kids growing up.

The groups we wished we were in.

The boy/girl that made us feel butterflies.

And to realise what our parents went through, Sometimes with some amazing advice, that made you think they weren't your parents for a moment.

And don't forget the decor and fashion.

And no mobile phones, no Facebook...just memories and faded photos.

I initially loved the first season but now that I am towards the end of season two I can't help but feel slightly disappointed. I feel like I am distantly watching their lives from the sideline instead of feeling immersed in it. The show has shattered off in different directions too early and makes me dissatisfied with the direction they have gone with.

Season one made sense but I am finding it difficult to fathom their relationships. It has by no means turned terrible, it is still a good show but I enjoy watching it less this season. I am not prepared to give up on it and will continue to watch if there is a season three but I hope it improves. It would be sad if Puberty Blues peaked in the first season.

I haven't seen anything in future advertised for the show and I really hope there is more to be seen because it is fantastic! Finally Australia has a show that is actually good! Sometimes a little offending, but for the most part the characters are easy to connect with and joyful to watch their dramas unfold. I really hope to see more of this flick! The actors, even though they are relatively 'un known' performed extremely well in every episode and so did some of the more 'famous' parental figures in the show. Definitely worth watching! When does the next season come out? And now I am finished typing but apparently have to have 10 lines minimum lol

We just tried watch the first episode (season 1). Slow, tedious, mediocre script, borderline acting, are the descriptions that come to mind. The movie (1980?) was better, and that's saying a lot because it wasn't very good either.
