All My Friends Are Racist

A quasi-comical look at the worst of Zoomer / Millennial stereotypes with a diverse cast and the occasional great one liner help get you to the end of each episode.

The two anti-hero leads are shallow and vapid, willingly caught in an echo chamber of their own self centred perceptions. It makes them cruel and uncaring to almost everyone they come in contact with.

"All my friends are racist" refreshingly touches on a few taboos and important topics, but the characters are so clueless, most of the discussion is reduced to tired soundbites. There are moments where you think they are about to learn something real, but ultimately they learn nothing.

To make sure we know there's nothing to take seriously, the season starts and ends with the two of the metaphorically ugliest characters we've seen in some time saying "I'm so glad we're not ugly"

I like the idea of this concept, but I really couldn't get behind the characters. I think there was a better way to do this that wasn't as vapid or surface level. In truth, it relies on the characters being indigenous instead of giving them actual character.

That's not the best for representation, indigenous people are multifaceted human beings, let's represent them that way, even in short form comedy.

The show is at its best amongst the ambiguity of its themes, but will brush ambiguity aside for a spoon fed black and white answer pretty consistently.

In the final scene of the show, one of the characters excruciatingly explains the moral of the story. Stilted dialogue aside, the plot doesn't explain our characters coming to this conclusion at all.

If your characters decide at the end that their big mistake is something worth trying again, your plot has failed its message.

The kids are alright, I found this a fantastic albeit short journey and front seat into younger First Nation Australians. The ln-your-face humour and fun cast of characters that could also be appealing to the LGBTI community as well as Australian People of Colour. We need more diverse shows like this! I thought this was a great ride and laughed out loud many times. Only thing was it was a bit short, I'd love to see more!
