Invisible Boys

This is a raw and real look at what life is like for young, gay Australians.

This is a story of four boys who are fighting against the prejudice, assumptions and societal pressure that can make any one of us invisible.

The humour is outstanding, and you'll find yourself quoting so many of the lines from the show, and the music is phenomenonal. I'm so happy that a new generation is going to be introduced to Nick Cave and Dragonette!

There are some absolutely beautiful and heart-warming moments, as well as some cry-your-eyes-out tragedy, but it's part of a journey that is all too familiar to so many of us.

As well as sexuality, the show deals with themes of First Nations Australians, loneliness, country life and the power our parents can have over our lives.

Make sure the young people in your life get to watch this show, especially if they are asking questions - they need to know the world is not going to end when they start living life as the person they truly are!

This show was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone. The storyline and the journeys of the four main characters felt incredibly real and relatable. While some of the dialogue leans into familiar LGBTQ+ TV tropes-occasionally making certain moments feel a bit cliché or cringey-it also rings true to real experiences I've had, which made it deeply personal and impactful.

The core four actors delivered outstanding performances, bringing real depth and complexity to their characters. The writers and cast deserve recognition for portraying queer characters with nuance, something often lacking in similar shows within the genre. They also had a real chemistry with each other that I sometimes find lacking in many gay couples portrayed in TV.

At times, the sex scenes felt somewhat over-the-top and gratuitous, but they also reflected the authentic young gay experience in a way that many viewers, myself included, can relate to. I particularly appreciate the writers' approach to the endings of the two main couples-they avoided pandering to fan service and instead stayed true to the show's raw and authentic tone.

Going into this series, I didn't expect it to evoke such intense emotions, but there was a moment where I genuinely felt my heart break for two of the main characters. The entire cast was impressive, but Joe Klocek (who plays Matt) stood out the most-his phenomenal performance left a lasting impact on me, and I can't stop thinking about it (especially episode 9).

Although some fans are hoping for a second season, I believe the show ended perfectly. Everything wrapped up in a way that felt complete, even if the ending was heartbreaking. I'm still reeling from the emotional impact, but I'd absolutely recommend this series to anyone.

This is one of the best Australian television series focusing on gay men and it needs to be seen by everyone. Set in the remote town of Geraldton, during the time of the gay marriage vote in Australia; it centres around the feelings and emotions of guys with brutal honesty and integrity. Whether you're gay or not, you can't help riding the emotional roller coaster with each of these characters. The performances are truly inspiring and endearing. All the actors do their parts so well. Pia Miranda who portrays a stereotypical homophonic matriarch is so good that she made me seethe with rage whenever she spoke her slurs.

This show was absolutely incredible It truly captures the heart of so many issues from homophobia to family pressures to race it truly was incredible and so well crafted.

Pia plays such an incredible role !

The stories in this series make you just cry and laugh and feel all the emotions ! It's so raw and real and it has made me so proud to be an Aussie ! I wish there would have been a show like this when I was younger to help me realise so many things.

Congratulations to all the cast and crew you should be so proud ! I cried like a baby at the end of this and I hope there will be a season 2.

This was such a fantastic adaption. I must say both couple had really great chemistry.. but I personally connected to Zeke and Hammer's storyline the most.. The actor who played Hammer truly delivered a gale force performance that was also assisted by the actors playing his aunt and mom. I love how they touched on so many societal issues with his character and the stigma and being part of a minority community in Australia.. a lot of people won't like the ending for one of the couples but I think it made sense.. it did not feel rushed or out of place and I think it was definitely essential to the plot. Fantastic show !!
