Iggy & Ace

Im on a bit of an 'Australian Web Series' journey and stumbled across this one. I love that it's a queer story that isn't a romance (not in the main story anyway!) I thought the humor was slick and totally different to anything I had really seen before, performances and writing were the highlight. Ps Justice for Justine!

Very much enjoyed this delightful, hot mess of a show. It's ridiculous, it's fun and then it's surprisingly heartfelt. It gets stronger as it goes along. I'd stick with it!

So great to see West Aussie talent on screen. Please keep it up.

One thing though- work on more realism in acting, it makes the comedy funnier.

Most of the more seasoned actors had the realism sorted, including the young guy that played Ace.

Just because it's meant to be a comedy, doesn't mean the acting and delivery have to be heightened to almost pantomime levels. PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK LIKE THIS. Comedy only works when it's rooted in drama. When not trying to play for the laughs.

Iggy & Ace touches that note on occasion, and it's two leads are pretty good, but the show is otherwise marred too often by hammy performances. And no doubt they were directed as such.

Also, as a member of the LGBTI community, any chance we could have some screen representation that doesn't paint us all as sex obsessed substance abuses? This and "Ding Dong I'm gay" aren't doing us any favours. Admittedly, Iggy & Ace at least has some depth. Ding Dong was a shallow embarrassment.

Yay for diversity but with so many great emerging LGBTI writers and actors in Australia, why is this the kind of thing getting funded?
