Diary of an Uber Driver

I stumbled across this series on a flight to QLD (thanks Virgin). I only knew Sam Cotton (Ben) as a creative cartoonist, doing some really clever and entertaining stuff on insta etc. Anyway, I was intrigued to see him as an actor in Diary of an Uber Driver. I was hooked from the outset. The concept is great, the characters portrayed are realistic and some scenarios that unfold in front of Ben (the driver) are awkward, amusing, entertaining, tearful and memorable. Everything about this series revolves around relationships; those that are toxic, those that are rewarding and those that are no longer within reach.

The series is simply great and makes me proud to be an Aussie. I hope this becomes a bit of a fringe-cult series. Well done team!

Firstly I want to say Im very disappointed there is only 6 episodes. Its light, easy to watch, laugh out loud funny and takes a wonderful look into other peoples lives.

Its not a hard hitting drama or a hollywood comedy but I think its intended that way. Sometimes you just want something to giggle at while relaxing at the end of the day and this is it!!!

The acting was great as most Aussie shows are and the stories believable and shocking at the same time.

I hope they make more episodes, its my STAN show of choice.

This follows the daily life of an Uber Driver (guess that was no surprise hey ! ) but the main character is so terribly nice and kind and I felt totally drawn to him. Very well done - humorous and human at the same time. Highly recommended.

Best Australian comedy/drama I've seen in years! Had me laughing out loud! Super talented acting cast including lots of familiar Aussie faces. Based on the best selling e-book by Ben Phillips. Highly recommend the book and the show.

Have just finished binging the series. Thoughtful, poignant and wonderful. Thanks ABC Australia!
