Featured reviews
Reading through most of these reviews I think mostly everyone can agree on one thing...Mr. InBetween is a really really good show! This show came out of nowhere (Australia actually) and has hooked everyone who has given it a chance. It's easily one of the most underrated shows on right now and I can't wait for more!
This is one of the most entertaining shows I've seen in ages! The main character is a criminal with his own ideas about right and wrong and a very witty sense of humor. I hope there are more episodes in the works for this series as I truly want to know what happens next with this fascinating guy.
What a thoroughly entertaining series this is. The story, the characters and the cast are all fantastic.
I binge-watched this series, which is easy to do. The episodes are only 28 minutes long and there are only six of them.
Casting kids in roles for TV is always a challenge as the lines, the actors and the settings almost always seem forced and unnatural... but Chika Yasumura (as Brittany) is simply awesome in her role. She's cute as a button and a 'natural' on screen.
This is simply gripping and exciting telly.

Yes I am australian so I may have got many of the references lost on our international friends, but I found the first two eps drew me into this bi-polar world (and I surprisingly related to both although not literally) and was entertained from start to end. The potential here is rich and I can't wait to watch week in week out....my only complaint is that the eps are 30mins but thats purely because I want to watch as much of this show as I can. Final note, I know different game/genre but by far the best Aus show we've seen on our screens since Rake. Congrats to all involved
I don't think I've ever been more surprised by a show than I have been for Mr. Inbetween. I actually don't know anyone who's seen it that doesn't love it. There's a reason this show has a 8.7 rating here and a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The lead character (Scott Ryan as Ray) is both a tough guy who you shouldn't ever mess with and also a kind and good man. This show has something for everyone...it is funny, violent, thrilling, mysterious, etc. It's a show that should be binged because once you finish an episode you can't wait until the next one. If you haven't yet seen this underrated show then do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as possible.
