What do you think? Are you planning to check out this Australian comedy series on Paramount+ next month?
I watched this earlier this year (in the Republic of Ireland). It’s hilarious! If you are not familiar with Aussie humour some jokes might go over your head.
Watched this show earlier in the year (in NZ), it had a few laughs, quite aussie humour so guessing the americans will be a little lost. Well acted and written, though at times it could be a little bit dull… Colin from Accounts as a character though is flawlessly acted.
Looks like Fun!
