Puberty Blues

We just tried watch the first episode (season 1). Slow, tedious, mediocre script, borderline acting, are the descriptions that come to mind. The movie (1980?) was better, and that's saying a lot because it wasn't very good either.

I initially loved the first season but now that I am towards the end of season two I can't help but feel slightly disappointed. I feel like I am distantly watching their lives from the sideline instead of feeling immersed in it. The show has shattered off in different directions too early and makes me dissatisfied with the direction they have gone with.

Season one made sense but I am finding it difficult to fathom their relationships. It has by no means turned terrible, it is still a good show but I enjoy watching it less this season. I am not prepared to give up on it and will continue to watch if there is a season three but I hope it improves. It would be sad if Puberty Blues peaked in the first season.

Comedic, dramatic heart wrenching, well written, well acted.

Such a great series, surprised I've not watched it before.

If you liked Skins I'm sure you'll love this.

Loved it!!!

The wonderful stupid life we lived as kids growing up.

The groups we wished we were in.

The boy/girl that made us feel butterflies.

And to realise what our parents went through, Sometimes with some amazing advice, that made you think they weren't your parents for a moment.

And don't forget the decor and fashion.

And no mobile phones, no Facebook...just memories and faded photos.

This was a good piece of Aussie 70's nostalgia. I wondered why it ended so abruptly and it turns out that the production company went bankrupt.

The show is about two Aussie girls growing up in the 70's. A coming of age type story. I have seen the film and I thought the series was much better.
