This is how you make a tv show. Equally meaningful seriousness, yet potentially
Minimal budget.
I've known of Tim Minchin for a long time, about half my life. I've understood his comedy, his music, and his teachings / very educated opinions and observations, and this show is the epitome, the peak of all things perfect about him.
The comedy is his hard hitting dark humour, with gritty realism of a struggling man at his lowest point of his life.
All I can say is this is going to be by far one of the most underrated shows. I can only hope this show blows up to unfathomable levels. I want everyone talking about it.

This is an incredibly well written, beautifully directed series. One which I cannot recommend highly enough. With the exception of one very minor side story that I'm not sure really added anything this show is an amazing example of what makes great TV.
The script is incredible. There are very few words that are wasted, and the way the story develops is a thing of beauty.
I can only imagine how proud Tim and the team behind this must be with the masterpiece.
It was an emotional rollercoaster, but an absolute joy to watch. I wish I could delete my memory of it to fully enjoy it again.

Superb. Compelling. Funny. Emotional. Just got better and better with every episode. The best of Oz filming. Tim Minchin and Milly were absolutely absolutely absolutely superb.
Absolutely love Tim's previous work but this is gold. And couldn't recommend it more, Laughed and Cried what more do you want.
I have never taken the time to write a review for a show. But this one truly touched me. I'm in the U.S. and was able to see it and its sad to think that I could have missed it. Milly blew my mind with her performance, for someone her age to project such a range of emotions it was just incredible, She has such a bright future. And Tim, I expected good, but damn. Excellent job sir, an amazingly complex character that you couldn't help but love. The two of you are an excellent duo. Thank you.

- TriviaStar Tim Minchin said: "From the moment I heard about the idea for 'Upright', I knew it was the show I'd been waiting to make. I like stories that make me laugh and think and cry, I adore the landscapes of outback Australia, and I love music, and homecomings, and characters full of flaws. It's awesome to be writing with this extraordinary team, and I'm looking forward to acting alongside Milly Alcock, who I think is a really special talent."
