Irreverent

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I found it funny, quirky with dry humor. The actors are believable and entertaining. I do see that several reviewers do not agree with me but I see several do agree that it is a great series. Some people do not appreciate witty, dry humor. And for those that don't, I am sure this show is a disappointment. I found the location and scenery beautiful which made the show even more entertaining. I am glad that Peacock took a chance on producing this somewhat unusual series because it made a weekend of binge watching fun. I am hopefully for a second season because I enjoyed the show.

I loved the opening scene in far north Queensland. Yes its a comedic exaggeration of reality, but it does show the beauty and the - possible - terror of that location.

It probably helps that I watched the first episode with very low expectations. The basic premise, criminal switches identity with priest, has been done many times before. Also, despite how funny Australians are, Australian comedies are often awful.

I wanted light entertainment, and thus far, Irrevent is just that.

Many familiar faces in the cast, and luckily none that elicit an "expletive no, not him/her again", reaction from me.

The lead actor I thought very good at playing a reprobate low level criminal with a handsome face. By that I mean his face doesn't work against the role. Pretty, is often pretty bland. Not this time.

So far, good, light, fun.

Small sample sun so far as the series isn't complete but here goes.

One reviewer mentioned a croc at the Gold Coast which didn't happen it was near Cairns in north QLD though the international flight did arrive at Gold Coast airport. Also it's nothing like Banshee Muriel's Wedding or other things mentioned.

So far over all it's not bad at all. Being an Australian it's a bit painful sitting through some of the exaggerated Australianism which are usually inserted in our export productions. People usually don't talk like that in reality but there are exceptions.

Enough other reviewers covered the plot story etc so I'll conclude with its light heated quite watchable despite the afore mentioned. Don't take it seriously and you just might be entertained.

Really good show..... was unexpected and took me awhile to get to it... but just about binge watched it once I did ... entertaining, a little drama, few twists, a little funny, a little suspense .... Recommended The show starts a little slow, but it's builds up nicely... the Australian actors do a great job, but still over do the Aussie ocher sometimes, but mostly getting better at being normal Aussies The only thing that's annoying .... Most of the world thinks Australia is a super dangerous place and this show makes it even more believable, even though Australia does have lots of dangerous, venomous animals ... it's still a great place to visit .. lol.

Selfish guy on the run, lands in a lovely small coastal town (with spectacular views) and starts to care about the residents.

This is a great show, easy to watch that is funny, warm and very engaging because of the characters.

Every episode you learn more and more about the characters, ad it never really seems forced, but it does mean that every episode you feel a little more invested.

Its seemingly a dimple idea but they get a lot of plates spinning so its very bingeable as others have said. You want to know what each plate will do next but also there is a lot of heart.

Give this show a go, its free!
