Single, Out

I really wanted to like this series, but its shortcomings are just too severe. In the past I have enjoyed many comedies from Australia (Rosehaven remains an all-time favourite), but this series is hindered by weak writing and some shockingly poor acting. Each season seems progressively worse than the last. The first season was the strongest, season two quite a bit weaker and season three is painful to sit through. The dialog is long winded and often pointless, and the actors are clearly untrained and inexperienced, making many scenes difficult to endure. I understand the patriotic support by some Aussie reviewers, but this is no Heartstopper. Not even close.

I was introduced to "Single, Out" during a Qantas flight, and from the very first episode, I was hooked. This series beautifully delves into the intricate journey of coming out, the complexities of forging new relationships, and the ever-evolving dynamics within families. What struck me most about it was its ability to tackle these serious themes while maintaining a perfect balance of humor and heart.

My admiration for the show was so strong that when the opportunity arose to see it on the big screen, I couldn't resist. I'm delighted to report that the magic of "Single, Out" remained intact, even on the second viewing. It's a testament to the show's quality that it can captivate its audience time and time again.

The ensemble cast is a breath of fresh air, each member bringing a unique charm to their character. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, especially during the emotionally charged scenes, where their performances shine the brightest.

"Single, Out" is a hidden gem that deserves far more recognition and a broader audience. Its ability to address important LGBTQ+ themes with authenticity and grace while keeping the viewers entertained is commendable.

If you ever come across the opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend giving "Single, Out" a watch. It's a heartfelt, funny, and insightful series that shouldn't be missed.

An Australian YA gay coming out and relationship comedy-drama series. A good film or series starts with the script and this one is hit and miss, some episodes work and others flop. The dialog is the same, hit and miss. There are funny parts, but basically it meanders along without a lot of focus.

When it works it's because of Will Hutchins who is young and cute and funny and the camera loves him. The camera also loves Adam Mountain who plays Josh. The rest of the cast is hit or miss, it doesn't have a cast of seasoned acting professionals. This is a low budget series that has become popular because of the LGBT themes.

"Love, Victor" and "Heartstopper" shouldn't feel any threat, they had better scripts and cast.

This series shows queer love in such a beautiful way and is a much needed series for us Aussies. Creator Lee Gaela has outdone it with Single Out. It is a 6-episode season 1, with a highly anticipated second season already filmed.

It brings you into the lives of many LGBTQIA+ people through depicting modern dating, the highs and lows of relationships and the budding friendships that come from meeting other people in the LGBTQIA+ community. It closely follows Adam and Clayton (Brothers) and their evolving relationship after Adam comes out as gay and starts dating Clay's best friend.

I have watched the season twice and I must say you will have plenty of laughs, some OMG moments and possibly some tears. The quick-witted humour within this show is next level. Lee and the entire cast are excellent throughout the entire production. It is a must watch show, easily binge worthy and is exactly what I wish we had many years ago when I was growing up.

Single, Out from director Lee Galea, is a fresh feel-good Aussie series that captivates viewers on a journey through the relatable trials and tribulations of young romance, whilst embracing the love, compassion, support and resilience of the LGBTQI+ community.

The series features stellar performances from an array of young talent, most notably the series lead Will Hutchins (Adam) and his supportive yet fragile on-screen brother Steven Christou (Clayton). You can't help but fall in love with their characters and follow their journeys as the series progresses.

Not only does Single, Out tackle the issues of modern love and relationships with family and friends but also the dilemma many young people face when exploring their sexuality and making the decision to "come out" in today's changing world.

This 6-part series is beautifully crafted, filmed and delivered making it extremely easy to binge (which I did myself on a recent Qantas flight). A credit to Galea and the team.

Like many others, I look forward to seeing the characters and their storylines evolve further in a highly-anticipated second series.
