n00b

As someone who lives on 2005 culture and queer media this is literally one of the best shows ive ever watched and every little reference and detail was so important and added so so much. Love how each episode revealed a story for each character, yet dipped back into the main storyline connecting everyone together. I can totally see this show going big! (alongside its actors) both the writers and actors did an incredible job bringing this amazing story to life and will now be a permanent part of my identity as this show was just THAT good. Thank you netflix anz for literally giving us one of the greatest niche shows to exist!

I went into this show with zero information and I have never been more pleasantly surprised. As someone who likes My Chemical Romance, fanfiction and queer media... what a treat lol.

I have watched it six times and enjoyed it every time. So many laugh-out-loud moments and genuinely touching ones. The only scene I skip is... that one scene. You know the one. Plus, the main characters are all so likeable and, even in their exaggerated moments, feel like real people who I could've known.

Seriously, though. N00b is so underrated that I had to create the subreddit for it myself, and the only Tumblr posts are other people talking about how underrated it is. More people watch this show please! Hopefully there are more seasons.

This brought me right back to my teen years in 2005. Spot on. Well written and NZ tv at it's best. I binged the whole series in one night. Really hoping there's a season 2! Characters are slightly comically exaggerated but in the best way. The characters all have depth and this season truly feels like it's skimming the surface with a lot more backstory to explore. It's beautifully shot as well.

The humor is sharp yet relatable, capturing the awkwardness and charm of that era perfectly. The soundtrack is a nostalgic bonus, enhancing key moments without feeling overdone. Each episode flows seamlessly into the next, making it almost impossible to stop watching. The cast's chemistry is undeniable, and you can tell there's a lot of heart behind the production. It's refreshing to see a series that doesn't take itself too seriously while still delivering emotional and impactful moments. If you love coming-of-age stories with a Kiwi twist, this is a must-watch!

More series like this please!!

Oh man as a fandom obsessed teen, this show was amazing and I love it so much, I've watched it twice through now. It's funny and made me laugh many times, a little inappropriate but i think that was part of the point. So well produced for a NZ show. All the references were amazing and the shot of James's bedroom was so cool and I was literally screaming and jumping because I know that I would so be friends with him. Everyones performances were so good! The mention of Dunedin also made me jump since thats where I'm from and it felt so funny hearing it in a show. Everything about this show just made me feel like I was there hanging out with the characters and it got surprisingly deep at some points too, which I didn't expect from a comedy like this. I recommended it to literally all my friends, I love this show sooo much!!!!! Just incase like anyone who worked on the show reads this, hiii!!! Great job :333 I love you all!!!!!!!
