Little Lunch

An ensemble of Australian kid actors, with some of the best comedic timing I've seen, makes this show captivating. It goes back to the idea of: "tell me a story" as in this show a motley crew of diverse students, pretty much tell the story of their day at school (particularly at lunch time) with flashbacks that make it all the more funny and remarkable. The writing is crisp, but it's the kids' performances that truly make the show stellar!

This Australian gem has been watched many times by my family and everyone from 40 to 4 loves the talented ensemble cast of children and the great comic timing. The child characters are believable and we have fallen In love with all of them and their idiosyncrasies.

I'm from the United States and my girls used to love to watch this show with me. Wish the show went on longer. It makes me hungry and laugh. I would say the show is PG rated. There is a slight inappropriate joke or two, but nothing too bad. See the show first, if you want to be careful at what your kids watch.

I have started watching this with my 10-year old girl. What a delight. Both of us end up laughing and wanting to watch another episode. The cast is superb and the comedic timing perfect. The interactions are great and feel relatively realistic as well. While we were not sure what to expect, and the opening sequence has a sesame street feel (leaving us to wonder if the show would be 'too young'), once we started watching it, we knew it was going to be fine and age appropriate. The writers do a great job as well, setting the story lines up and keeping the characters consistent. Some very funny scenarios are created. Can't wait for another season!

Little Lunch is the epitome of the tropes of Australian primary school. I'm currently 7:48 into episode one and the character development has really brought these mid teen actors playing children to life. Although, did see spoilers that Melanie's dog is called Rudy. Upsetting, though nevertheless this shows Australia's commitment to great television.
