Upper Middle Bogan

I am an American and fell in love with this show instantly with the first episode. I am a professional by trade but had a father who owned a construction company that employed numerous "Bogans," and while it is more correct to call them red-necks in the states, other pejorative terms are becoming more popular since they adopted rap music (think Eminem). The humor in it comes from the clash of values and also from a recognition that things aren't really that different between the classes, as much as each class thinks and wants it to be that way. The setups are extremely good, sort of like Seinfeld, where an innocuous comment at the start often grows into the focal point by the end. The themes are universal and if Hollywood discovers it, I'm sure they'll make a poorer version for the States (its just what they do) hot off their failure with Rake, which I also really enjoyed. In some ways, it is very similar to The Beverly Hillbillies, albeit with more modern and cruder humor. I'd only seen Robyn in Rake so to me all the actors "are" the characters that they play and I think the casting was excellent, with parallel members in each family. It is truly a series that will make you laugh and cry at the same time.

A real work of art that I would definitely compare to American family comedy, Modern Family.

This 8 episode series really shows the contrast of Australian society and in a way breaks down stereotypes that all Australians are 'bogans' and drive utes.

The series includes great Aussie comedy and jokes and does not seem to fail in the line of comedy. This series genuinely made me laugh and I wish that the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) continued with the series.

To find such a good Australian comedy is rare and definitely needs more recognition. For these reasons I have stated above I give it a 10 out of 10.

Classic Aussie comedy. Would love to see more. Not a weak character in the show.

Loved it from the first episode, season 2 was already better than the first, but in season 3 is all comes together beautifully and better than I expected.

In essence, I would call it "The Australian Modern Family". Both in quality and in spirit. 'Nough said!

Ok I loved it. Funny and entertaining, I just loved it. Although in the first season it seemed the camera was noticably jerky in the scenes, but was filmed smoother in the second and third season.

Kudos to the actors for bringing the writers characters to life. Each actor truly brought uniqueness to their characters persona. I liked how each episode had it's own story, with just a little of the history of the relationships between the family members filtering along without it saturating the next episode. Its a very entertaining and funny show. I'm glad I watched it.

Worth the watch, if you like comedy.
