Absolutely love Tim's previous work but this is gold. And couldn't recommend it more, Laughed and Cried what more do you want.

I have never taken the time to write a review for a show. But this one truly touched me. I'm in the U.S. and was able to see it and its sad to think that I could have missed it. Milly blew my mind with her performance, for someone her age to project such a range of emotions it was just incredible, She has such a bright future. And Tim, I expected good, but damn. Excellent job sir, an amazingly complex character that you couldn't help but love. The two of you are an excellent duo. Thank you.

I'll start by confessing that Tim Minchin has done nothing. NOTHING for me in his fairly long and, largely, highly succesful career, so when it was suggested I watch this I doubted I'd get past episode one.

How wrong could I have been?

By the end of episode eight, binged in two days, the tears rolled down my cheeks.

It's bawdy, ballsy, rude, ridiculous, hilarious, breathtaking, touching, sincere and is based on a largely unpredictable storyline that twists and turns like a Tasmanian Devil.

It also features a stand out, frankly equal footing, performance by 19 year old Australian actress, Milly Alcock, remember that name, she's the next Margot Robbie.

A truly excellent TV series, right up there with Succession, Fleabag and Chernobyl as my favourites of 2019.

This is how you make a tv show. Equally meaningful seriousness, yet potentially Minimal budget.

I've known of Tim Minchin for a long time, about half my life. I've understood his comedy, his music, and his teachings / very educated opinions and observations, and this show is the epitome, the peak of all things perfect about him.

The comedy is his hard hitting dark humour, with gritty realism of a struggling man at his lowest point of his life.

All I can say is this is going to be by far one of the most underrated shows. I can only hope this show blows up to unfathomable levels. I want everyone talking about it.

Superb. Compelling. Funny. Emotional. Just got better and better with every episode. The best of Oz filming. Tim Minchin and Milly were absolutely absolutely absolutely superb.
