Bump

Very underrated! Very surprised about the negative reviews! This is an awesome series! Try for yourself! DONT listen to the negativity. I was pleasantly surprised! I think you'll be too!

This is the Inner West I know. Everything from the diversity of the cast, to the issues that the teens and adults face is reminiscent of the Australia I have grown up in. So often these teen shows can represent many things that either don't happen or are blown way out of proportion. This show displays the financial, political, educational and other lifestyle factors that most young people struggle with today. Even the fashion is spot on! I enjoy the juxtaposition of the caring motherly Oly and the strong willed feminist Oly. The show isn't pushing anything political in my opinion it's just merely representing the opinions of most of Gen Z and it's does it accurately. I love seeing the adults struggles also, as it gives me something to juggle along with the teen narrative as a young adult. I feel like I am watching my own friend group with this show, they have nailed the varying personalities within a friend group. Whoever wrote this is seriously talented.

This is the type of series that is hard to stop at just one episode! Sucked me in from the first episode and I binge watched this over a few days!

I really hope there's a second season.

Some shows start with a bang then slowly fizzle out. Good shows are well written which build and improve as they go, this is one of them. It delivers many awkward situations and deals with them honestly, often making you cringe and laugh at the same time. It is brave, which will upset some, but this is it's strength, the writers and actors need to be commended for their skill. The best Australian show I've seen for a long time. I'm hooked, I can't wait for next season.

The first couple of episodes I was unsure, but I kept going and by the end I really loved it. Loved seeing the Sydney skyline too, made me homesick.
