Invisible Boys

This Australian series follows gay teens in country town Western Australia. These are coming of age stories for gay young people that carefully represent Aboriginality, queerness, and identity. There are touching moments of tragedy, love and intimacy. Throughout the series, you connect with the characters and root for them. The exploration of visibility and masculinity somehow avoids a lot of the cringe factor that Aussie dramas can fall into. This is a series set before marriage equality in 2017 but relevant now and likely to be revisited be queer young Australians needing to see themselves on screen.

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 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.

Such a great, heartwarming show. Beautifully written and shot and amazingly acted! It is so bingeable, but it has a lot of depth and emotion. Gay men will definitely relate to the experiences, it will hit home a lot of times, but it's a show that can be enjoyed and appreciated by everyone. It tackles family relationships, homophobia (also internalised) and racism. Maybe it can be a bit predictable , but it doesn't take away anything from the show. I hope it gets a second season, the characters are very loveable. I found this show by sheer luck, and I wonder how many hidden gems like this exist!

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.
