The Other Guy

OK, I am an Australian, but I rarely watch TV, because on the whole it is dreadful unless you like endless reality-TV. Until I watched this I had never heard of Matt Okine.

I found this quite entertaining and was able to binge watch the whole series over a 4 hour period. Some of it was funny, but I found it more drama than comedy.

Michael-Anthony Taylor was very amusing as AJ's father, Harriet Dyer got a bit tiresome as AJ's friend Stevie and Valene Kane was quite amusing as AJ's cheating ex Liv.

My major gripe was not having any idea why they split up until further into show. Did I miss something? Why was there no mention earlier?

Other than that minor gripe I enjoyed the show. Some of the humour was cringe humour which isn't my thing, but it wasn't overdone here.

7/10 and a show I would recommend.

Great balance of drama and comedy that has moments of sharp humour intertwined with heart wrenching moments that draws you into the characters. Recommeded by a friend and pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this show. Highly recommend.

If you like Australian social theme television series which identities contemporary icons and subcultures then you will easily enjoy this story. Each of the two seasons are only 6 episodes, and I easily did the entire series as a weekend binge. Very enjoyable. Think Please Like Me in writing style - Lovable characters which you can relate to. Well written, well film, well acted. Worth watching.

Finally, an Australian TV show that's funny and full of drama. The show is not only funny but it's also extremely well acting. Very impressed.

....it's a good show when considering all the genre.. .. the cast is solid, and they all do good work..

..if there's any gaps, it's the logic in getting away undiscovered for several years ..how and why, on either side, would and could this be possible

.. and major unanswered question from S1.. why'd it take her so long?

..they've inserted the major plot-line for season two ..here's looking forward that they get a chance to make use of it..

... to-their-credit ... they didn't-do-the-obvious ... & S2 is much-much-better 4-it.
