Last Days of the Space Age

It seems that writers these days have so little imagination that they can't fathom a time and place with different people and values to those of 2024. Putting in a retro setting and costumes does not make this set in 1979. The people, relationships and what they say are straight out of 2024. You would never see these people in 1979 behaving and talking like they are.

I am so tired of TV shows being infused with values and agendas from today. What would have been very interesting is to show us what was of concern to people living 45 years ago. Now that would be interesting to see for a modern audience.

With so much content on streaming, it's refreshing to watch an original series especially from Disney. Straight and simple, it's a great new series! I don't understand why people are always the same and pick on the minor things! It's full of interesting fresh characters rather than the same old safe format!! Characters like Eileen and Lam are fantastic to watch. Tilly's story is great would love to see Tilly and Lam find the Skylab debris in the second season!! Seriously this series CAN NOT be a limited series! This show deserves a second run at least!!

David Chidlow you amazing man. Thank you for telling such a warm, exciting and fresh story!!

Bharat you are a genius director! I throughly enjoyed your first two episodes. Such skill and care taken to showcase such a beautiful story, time and characters.

Disney it would be amazing if there was a second series as I am now invested in the characters and story.

Being an Aussie myself, I really wanted to like this show. Sadly, I found it to be lacking in so many ways! The acting is so awful, even Radha Mitchell cannot save this one. And Iain Glen must have been really desperate for work when he agreed to be part of this show.

The characters are not at all likeable, I don't even care what happens to them. I can't fathom how other reviewers are giving this a 10 out of 10 rating - it's terrible! I feel I am being generous by giving it four stars - that's only for the 70s music.

I have watched three episodes and that's it, I can't watch any more . . . A shame when there are so many excellent Aussie dramas. This is NOT one of them!

The reviews are not doing the series justice. Recall (mentioned by this reviewer and others) that our current obsession with feeding the "maw" of streaming media has resulted in a great deal of product which should have been done as film ending up crammed into a series format. Yes, there are flaws and weak spots. But taken as a whole, top to bottom, tip to tail, this series is an excellent, bittersweet, coming of age story for people, and possibly a country as well. The ending in particular is spectacular, the actors are brilliant, and there are scenes you will never forget. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

Here we go again I don't know what's wrong with people honestly I swear I don't this should not be below a seven for sure it's a really good series and good acting with good actors sincerely playing their roles roles that tell a story of a time and place which seems perfectly realistic to me and yeah oh yeah it does cover some topics about Aboriginal people and their suffering that are still relevant I'm quite sure today but some people just don't want to be bothered with it and it also has family family family stories a Russian beauty queen of Vietnamese family who are struggling yeah they're all struggling just like me just like we give it a chance it's beautifully filmed and they are good stories even if sometimes they seem scripted so it is that life is such and art mirrors life.
