Hungry Ghosts

Overall it was an okay series, had enough jump scares to get the heart racing. I love the diversity of the cast and the familiar Melbourne filming locations, however the story could do with a bit of improvement such as exploring the themes in a bit more depth.

Highlight of the show was Sophie, makes a very convincing and ever so slightly creepy possessed vengeful spirit.

What an absolute disappointment. Badly written, badly directed Australian rubbish. I try to support Aussie homegrown entertainment but boy, I'm getting tired of seeing so much money being spent on unwatchable shows.

First, the previous reviews about the show seem unfairly harsh, but each to their own. I don't write reviews that much, but feel I need to this time to give others an alternative perspective, because I think the show is really good, and I'm hooked. Great to see new fresh faces on screen! So refreshing. So important to see stories that embrace multiculturalism in Australia. The first episode is well paced (so spooky) with some really good scares. The cast is particularly good, with strong performances from the main actors. Love all the characters and those who play them, and particularly adore the older actors. The show doesn't follow any genre formula, with comedy, drama and supernatural horror themes interwoven. It is enthralling viewing. Draws you in and keeps you interested. There are scary parts that will make you jump and there are laugh out loud bits to make things a little fun. I may not be an expert, but I know I like this show, and it deserves no less than a 10! Give me more SBS!!

Decent story which is a bit drawn out specifically let down by some sub standard acting. Mild scares and jumps in places. Not the worse thing I have ever seen but could have been a lot better.

I don't understand what the other reviewers were expecting? Predictable shooty shooty US type movies? Tom Cruise saving the day?

This is a movie set in the suburbs of Melbourne, it runs significant parallels with the experiences and lifestyles of many Vietnamese Australians of various generations. The horror sequences are extremely realistic and well timed and spaced. The plot was obviously well scrutinised by producers and writers and is quite suspenseful and non-cliched. Overall a great series made by Australians for Australians. A great highlight to 2020.
