Year Of

This show was AMAZING!! I've already recommended it to a few friends who loved it too.

Great characters. Exciting stories and a fresh take on the Australian high school experience. Ever since Skins, we've been craving a show that shows young Australians as they truly are, and this series pulls it off with grit.

The writing is fast and funny, the performances are really genuine and the aesthetic feels truly representative of my high school experience. It's also super funny.

All in all, quit your jobs, divorce your partners, put your kids up for adoption, do whatever you need to make time to watch this.

As an Aussie entering my 20's I found this show refreshing and addictive. The writers did so well in showing what it is really like to be a teen in this generation. My partner who isn't a fan of drama shows (I'll never understand that,) actually loved 'year of' to the point we binged it all in one night. In only the first 2 episodes he turned to me and said "my heart is actually hurting. I feel like these are my friends, like I've known them for years." I thought that was a perfect description of how the writers and directors are able to connect your emotions through the screen from the very beginning. Begging for a season 2!!!

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.

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!

Like Bump this show has so much heart. I found the characters were quite subtle and well drawn and all the young actors although inexperienced, really made it watchable. I teach kids and there were so many moments that rang true. I laughed out loud so many times.

Life can get so complicated for kids and the pressure on them to work, study and keep it all together, especially when they're living half of their lives online, can be immense. This show tackles all that pretty gracefully. It reminded me of some of the best moments of Heartbreak High which was a must watch for me in the 90s

Would highly recommended watching it with your older teenagers as there are some confronting issues, although these are sensitively handled.
