Ma Terre d'ailleurs

I know it might be unusual, but the "Out There" series are also showed in Poland, where I live. I think the series are absolutely great, although the actors are not fantastic, but fascinating. I really enjoy the scenes on the iron background, they seem so real while talking about what they feel and think.

What is the best thing in the whole series? That they are addressed to teenagers but not done like the typical series for them (as "Dawson's Creek" or "Baywatch", etc.). There is no unnecessary nudity, no sex, no stupidity - more, Aggie Thackery and Miller McKee seems to be smarter that others. And in the same time, there are all those normal teenagers problems - school, dating, home and so on, and believe me or not: it's much more REAL than any of those "true life" series, American or Polish. Australia seems to be fascinating continent. The best thing I've learned? What wombat is. And now I know, that I just love Aussie accent. I'd like to thank the staff for not treating us like typical teenagers and making the series that is really worth watching AND not boring. Not boring at all.

I recently started getting this new channel called The-N and they show this show. I started watching it, half because I'm obsesed with Australian accents and half because there's a soft spot in my heart for teen shows. But I like the show and now I watch it every day. The characters and stories are fairly realistic to teen life, and they're very likable. Of course, the acting isn't exactly Oscar, Emmy, or Golden Globe worthy, but it just a teen show, and it doesn't exactly have to be. Someone posted on here that it's a bad show for kids to be watching because it(along with Boy Meets World & Even Stevens) causes/promotes teen pregnancy & divorce. How is that? I watch Even Stevens, too...it's an excellent show and not at all a disgrace to Walt Disney(like this person said in their post). People barely even kiss on Even Stevens. Ren has her typical teen girl crushes on the cute boys in school and Louis has a crush on Tawny. Much like in Out There, when Reilly has a cruch on Fiona and Miller has a crush on Aggie I Boy Meets World, Tapanga & Cory were in love their entire life and got married...and they never got pregnant, and it appeared that they never had sex until their wedding night. As for Reilly calling girls chicks....show a teenage boy who has NEVER called a girl a chick...AT LEAST ONCE...and I'll like, be your slave for life. It's what boys do...it's no surprise. Anyway, this is a good teen show, and see in no way how it causes teen pregnancy or divorce. It's a very cute show. I'm just said it's ending already!:( lol Great show! You should check it out if you can!

While Australian television programming for young people is often extraordinarily good, "Out There" is a gem. Watching the embarrassed fumbling of Reilly as he tries to court Fiona is almost painfully true-to-life. Although Douglas Smith as Reilly Evans is ... ahem ... "a fox," his awkwardness as he tries to ask for his first date with his first crush is touching and bears the mark of true adolescent angst, with none of the cockiness we might expect from someone as good-looking as Smith, nor as exageratedly stupid as Reilly might turn out on an American sitcom. "Out There" seems to have the pangs of first love just about right. The presence of English girl Aggie (who can't understand Australian slang any better than Reilly) helps to accentuate the show's presumption that Australia is truly "out there," as is (from his own perspective) Reilly himself. Co-distributor Noggin ("the-N") has done the show a great injustice in the USA, however, by relegating it to a 1:00 A.M. time slot, when its target audience is presumably asleep. Meanwhile, Noggin is flogging to death Canada's recent entry in the war for American children, "Degrassi: the New Generation," by airing it upwards of fourteen times a week (almost all of the episodes being reruns). With all due respect to "D:TNG," which is a fine show, one would hope that Noggin would give "Out There" a chance to at least be SEEN by its target audience, who are, presumably tiring of seeing "D:TNG's" limited number of episodes being run to death seven days a week. Bravo to the makers of "Out There."

This show is very interesting. I love all the characters and you get too see such beautiful scenery. The actors are extremeley talented and completly believable in the roles that they portray. I enjoyed the series immensley and cannot wait too see what will happen on the next series of the show. This is not the best show that the television station noggin has ever picked up. I personally enjoyed both Being Eve and 24seven a little more. I will say for the show that it is better than Degrassi: the next generation. I think this show is way over played and takes away from shows like OUT THERE.

this series is about the only good t.v. series around. its got real actors with a real storyline. its fine for kids to watch and the slightly squeamish and uncomfortable who get all worked up about measly kissing will have to get over it and realize that they are teenagers and thats what teenagers do!!!! the plot is enjoyable and easy to follow even if you pick it up somewhere in the middle of it all. its slow paced so enabling you to keep up with the dating situations which threaten to get quite complex.

the camera work is quite nifty which makes you feel like you are there with them. when the characters talk directly to the camera with the corrugated iron background is engaging and gets you on a personal level with them.

all in all its a great series which shouldn't be missed and if you do i can tell you now you're missing out big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
