Year Of

Show beautifully captures the essence of growing up in Australia. A world where the side-swiping complexities of coming of age unfold among a diverse group of students and adults. From tear-jerking lows into giddying highs.

Genuine and relatable. Great writing makes for wry chuckling amongst the darker moments, and a salty aftertaste amongst the brighter ones. Lovable cast bring depth and authenticity to their characters.

Year Of is a time capsule of modern Australian youth, well done Stan for comissioning some great local content. Looking forward to more of the same.

Didn't want it to end!

To me this is like an aussie heartstopper but maybe less wholesome haha (although it is still suprisingly wholesome for quite an edgy show)

you basically follow a group of teenager kids before and after an event (i won't say what because spoiler's!!) and see them grow and just basically being normal teens, which i think is so rare in tv shows these days when everything's always trying to be so dramatic. These are very unique character's and felt to me like they were real people. (My favorite was Gus haha iykyk)

As someone who know's what its like to sometimes not to know who you are or trying figure it out when it feels like the world is burning around you, this is a show that touches on those kinds of themes in a fresh and interesting way.

However i will say some of the parent story line's were maybe less interesting as i wanted to spend more time with the teens, but maybe that's just me.

I binged the whole season in one sitting and loved every minute of it!!

I couldn't stop thinking about the show and the story line and the characters, so I'm watching it again! It was really beautifully shot and I really enjoyed the soundtrack. I sat in front of the TV so many times shazaming the songs! I'm also trying to perfect the eyeliner look from Kate's character!

I'm very hopeful that the show will come back for a second season because I think there is still so much story to tell for so many of the characters. I'm fully hooked. The last episode in particular really stayed with me and I find myself thinking about it often.

Based on the promos, I thought this show would be too teen-focused for me, but I gave it a go anyway since it'a Australian and, after four episodes, have been pleasantly surprised. Being a lot older than the teens in the show, at first I was a bit nonplussed by their relentless and sometimes destructive energy. But after a couple of episodes they start to grow on you as you get to know them.

I'm up to episode four and am not entirely sure where the story is headed but it's fun to follow along and see what happens, without being tied down by expectations of a specific plot style. It has some very touching moments interspersed with funny bits, as well as some quite confronting scenes.

Although it's set at the same fictional high school as Bump, it doesn't seem to be a spin-off, as I could only detect one common character - and that a minor one. I think it benefits from that, as spin-offs rarely succeed, being constrained by what has gone before, and the expectations of watchers of the previous show.

Overall, so far good entertainment and looking forward to finding out what happens next.

I find it best to space out the viewings on this one rather than binge them. It gives it time to sink in.

But the episodes are quite short (which I also like), so two at a time works for me.

Think Skins in Oz it's a nice show easy to watch with a good mix of tears and joy.

Worth your time and bite size episodes.

The characters are not all likeable however that what makes it's great. I am sure there is something for everyone.

There as always in modern shows are a few eye roll moments and some diversity thrown in for good measure however it is also the modern world.

The games changed over the years and I need to keep up, that being said it's well worth giving this one a go. You won't regret it.

I have given 10 stars as the cast really played the roles well even though some of the characters had me internally grumbling.
