Garoto Devora Universo

What a show the acting by every character was amazing , one of the finest series ever made , my first review on here for anything just because it deserves it, powerful , funny , sad a roller coaster of emotions it felt like you went along with them through there life. Australia does make very realistic shows that should be recognised world wide. And the acting should by recognised as they are all brilliant and believeable characters. I grew up in Australia in the 80,s as a child And couldn't fault the set and surrounding areas felt like i was back there. Incredible... do yourself a favour sit down and watch it all in one go you won't regret it .

It warmed my heart. It reminded me at the time when people were not so obsessed by external package. Human interaction, care, connection of pre-internet time that we will very soon celebrate in museums only.

I already have scenes and quotes that will forever stay inside of me. The cast is amazing, the story is told in a authentic, warm way, and with all the variety of it - this is the story about LOVE.

Love of brothers, friends, family, and what blows me completely and what I have been missing is this enthusiasm and initiative of people of -80.ties that I don't see in new kids anymore.

I can't say more without spoiling it but I want to congratulate to all the participants in this series, to thank them, and recommend this from the bottom of my heart to everyone.

This series puts it's characters through the mill, as a dysfunctional family is ravaged by crime, drugs and violence. But watching them eventually triumph over such pain and difficulty is a pleasure. That pleasure is enhanced particularly by the performance of Felix Cameron as the young Eli Bell. What a great young actor! For much of the series he provides the heart so central to the success of this show. Simon Baker provides very effective support as the alcoholic father whose life is suddenly turned upside down.

It's good to see Bryan Brown again too.

Not everything is believable, but suspend that disbelief and you will enjoy this feel-good series.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this series. Bow Swallows Universe is adapted from a best selling novel from Trent Dalton. It takes place in Brisbane, Australia. We follow the story of Eli Bell and his family. His family is a mess, he has a brother who rarely talks, a mother who's on and off junkie, a stepfather who deals heroin, and an absent father. But even though there's a lot of pain and sadness there is also a lot of love and redemption. This is actually a feel good story that I couldn't stop watching. I binged all seven episodes in two days. I'll be surprised if this series doesn't get nominated for multiple awards.

"Boy Swallows Universe" is like a warm embrace from the pages of its beloved book, effortlessly translating the magic to the screen. Honestly, I usually don't get all emotional watching book adaptations, but this one just hit differently. It's like they reached into my imagination and pulled out exactly what I pictured when I read it - surreal and incredible.

For us Aussies, it's a bit like time travel. The show whisks you back to 1980s Brisbane, where the struggles depicted feel more like memories than fiction. To those who claim it misrepresents the era, well, maybe they didn't have the same experiences. Try telling a Queensland cop your problems back then and see how that goes.

Now, let's talk about the cast - stellar doesn't even cover it. Felix Cameron's waterworks had me reaching for the tissues every time. And Phoebe Tonkin, man, I've been a fan since her "H2O: Just Add Water" days. Throw in Travis Fimmel, Simon Baker, and Bryan Brown - it's like an Aussie acting dream team.

In a nutshell, "Boy Swallows Universe" isn't just a show; it's a journey back in time, a rollercoaster of emotions, and a celebration of Aussie talent. If you're up for a wild, heart-tugging ride, this one's a must-watch.
