This series is super witty, fast paced, dark humored and wonderfully relevant satire of the current times. Both Kates are wonderful in their portrayal of modern breakfast hosts and the juxtaposition of their characters is hilarious. The only negative thing i can think of is other peoples negative reviews of this show on IMDb, it neither warrants them nor deserves those criticisms because ......(its a satire people). Geeeze, lighten up! For everyone else who loves witty, exaggerated, nuanced, fast paced well written Australian humor this is the show for you.
And to the Kates, i very much look forward to your future comedic endeavors.
This was on the telly after the show I was watching but I couldn't change the channel cause I lost the remote so I turned the telly off at the wall.
Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan clawed their way to national attention largely through the unprecedented word-of-mouth success of their web- based The Katering Show. If this follow-up project is any indication, their ultimate goal in this enterprise was to eventually squander that goodwill through an ill-conceived and unpleasant "satire" of media values.
Even accounting for difficulty in adapting to a half-hour format, the hit-and-miss results of Get Krack!n might be considered charming if the duo hadn't decided to adopt an incessantly preaching tone throughout. In the place of disarming humour, each episode is dominated sour judgments of predictable PC targets, often delivered sneeringly directly to camera. The overall effect is nasty and unredeeming.

I read the reviews here when deciding whether or not to give this a try, and I came to the conclusion that I had to see for myself what was going on. I'm glad I did.
Maybe it's because I went in thinking that it might be horrible that I was so relieved it was the opposite. More or less pretty funny throughout, with moments of genius and rarely, maybe a few jokes per episode that would drag on 20 seconds too long. There are also stupid jokes, which I would normally despise, but I tend to find them funny in this. I guess they're doing them better. I have no idea what the negative reviews are talking about. So if you're worried about perspective, I'm male, I'm straight, and I have fairly high standards for comedy and I'm looking forward to watching the other half of the episodes!
I can only reason two theories about the wildly negative reviews; 1) They are planted to make you want to check for yourself and go in with low expectations, or 2) Some people actually believe what they see on TV is real - a thought which is absolutely terrifying...
Oh I also had to rewind fairly often so I could read the screen captions, because usually when I do it's worth it.

Just stumbled on this amazing gem and what can I say I just fell in love with those two funny ladies. Absurd, funny and relevant they will brighten the darkest day with their unique spin on daily topics. To me, they are the Aussie Patsy and Edwina! I wish they could tackle even more topics in an hour show. To all the haters ... You just don't have a funny bone in you or are just to dumb to understand their sophisticated smart funny sass!
