The Principal

Compelling drama, hard not "bingewatch". Slightly mystified by the supposed ages of the students. For most of these "boys" ,I suspect being thirty was just a memory. But enjoyable, none the less.

I happened upon "The Principal" series on Netflix and have to say that it was a very enjoyable watch. I wasn't sure what to expect but within 10 mins of watching the first episode I was hooked and watched all 4 episodes in one sitting. Impressed with the acting talent and the script. Realistic settings and characters. I do like the way it addresses the topic of racial issues in an Australian school but it doesn't take itself too seriously either. It was a good blend of story, acting talent, sets / scenery and script plus it also delivered a good message!

Highly Recommended!!!

I am hoping there will be a second series...

Very real and raw. I grew up around this area which made it all the more interesting. Such great acting by all of the teens, as well as the adults.

I first saw this TV series on a plane thinking that the plot sounds interesting. Little did I know that the TV series will bring me fully into the story.

Typically for Australian movies, it has realistic aspect of acting and story-telling, especially if compared with US movies. It has a dark feel, however it brings different shades of humans, pointing out that we all have our vulnerabilities.

The acting is very smooth and at times it feels that you are watching a documentary rather than a fiction (is it? not sure).

A great discovery to watch!

Poor, I expected much more, could not soar above the quality of a TV crime standard series. I was misled by the Imbd rating to engage with this program.
