Bad Behaviour

As others have pointed out, this brief series is not particularly joyful and so, if you think you might struggle to watch kids and adults bullying each other, then Bad Behaviour might be better avoided. However, for me, it was the powerfully credible depiction of the suffering endured by characters in the show that made it worth watching. I felt that it accurately conveyed the struggles of teenage years and the dark plot was engaging without being gratuitously disturbing.

The cast performed with great sensitivity and the use of the same actors across both timelines was seamlessly executed. This highly convincing duality of character portrayal was perhaps the most impressive aspect of the series.

Once again, Australian television delivers a distinctive series that focuses on complex themes, stunning scenery and excellent acting, without stringing the viewer along unnecessarily.
