Bad Behaviour

I don't think I've ever watched a series where I have hated every single character until this. It's an interesting series but every character (bar the minor ones - friends of main character in today's day) is so bloody toxic in their own way. It makes you question your childhood or at least someone's you know. Bullies, blackmail, torture, homophobia, abuse this has it all.

Every episode makes you want to yell at the telly WHY WOULD YOU DO/SAY THAT!! Some of these actresses are brilliant in other shows but this really leaves you wondering what the person who wrote the story line went through.

Would I recommend? Only if you don't have childhood school trauma.

I think most negative reviews stem from the fact that the protagonist is one of the most despicable human beings ever to grace a tv screen.

Every second is pure agony to watch. These girls are mean, they are weak and spoiled.

The fact that this show makes me feel all this hate and dismay clearly shows how well the characters are portrayed and acted.

Sadly it makes the show almost unwatchable.

If you like "Yellowjackets" or the much more obscure "Ondskan", here you can "enjoy" similar feelings, but a lot less watered down, and for hours on end.

I did not like watching this. But I respect the artistry. 8.5/10.

As others have pointed out, this brief series is not particularly joyful and so, if you think you might struggle to watch kids and adults bullying each other, then Bad Behaviour might be better avoided. However, for me, it was the powerfully credible depiction of the suffering endured by characters in the show that made it worth watching. I felt that it accurately conveyed the struggles of teenage years and the dark plot was engaging without being gratuitously disturbing.

The cast performed with great sensitivity and the use of the same actors across both timelines was seamlessly executed. This highly convincing duality of character portrayal was perhaps the most impressive aspect of the series.

Once again, Australian television delivers a distinctive series that focuses on complex themes, stunning scenery and excellent acting, without stringing the viewer along unnecessarily.

Wasn't so nice ,but great performance for the acters ,even though the story wasnt really well, i dont know for others but i didn't like how its end. With this kind of scenario, stories, that ending should have really be different but anyway something great to watch if you are bored. That why i gave four stars this show would have been really great if they had just worked a bit that story. Any love story must always end well on a movie i think, if not so what's the point? It's a movie or a tv series is not real life and fans or people really love happy ending especially when you make a deep connection with the characters.

It's definitely not horror genre, but it does remind me of a horror movie. It's just a whole series of uncomfortable, painful and awful experiences one after the other. I think if you enjoy watching awful things happen, then you would enjoy this. But if you want something more than that, then you will likely not enjoy this.

Having said that, the cinematography was great and I thought most of the acting was excellent, especially Kavenagh.

I also loved that a gender neutral character was included without making a big deal about it. A conversation between people using them/they super naturally is really lovely and still quite a progressive thing I think. So, I appreciated that.

But as I said, the storyline was just too constantly painful for me to give a higher review.
