Bad Behaviour

I think most negative reviews stem from the fact that the protagonist is one of the most despicable human beings ever to grace a tv screen.

Every second is pure agony to watch. These girls are mean, they are weak and spoiled.

The fact that this show makes me feel all this hate and dismay clearly shows how well the characters are portrayed and acted.

Sadly it makes the show almost unwatchable.

If you like "Yellowjackets" or the much more obscure "Ondskan", here you can "enjoy" similar feelings, but a lot less watered down, and for hours on end.

I did not like watching this. But I respect the artistry. 8.5/10.

Wasn't so nice ,but great performance for the acters ,even though the story wasnt really well, i dont know for others but i didn't like how its end. With this kind of scenario, stories, that ending should have really be different but anyway something great to watch if you are bored. That why i gave four stars this show would have been really great if they had just worked a bit that story. Any love story must always end well on a movie i think, if not so what's the point? It's a movie or a tv series is not real life and fans or people really love happy ending especially when you make a deep connection with the characters.

I remember seeing the ads for this and thinking "wow this could be bad." but I watched it all in one sitting and it ended up being really good? That was the surprising thing. It was just daring to be different and daring to change the normal of just a 'school drama', the director and cast did a fantastic job at bringing this to life, congrats.

What this shows is that you can never really hide from the past and make sure the future looks safe when its not and unfortunately while everyone else let go of the past Jo couldn't. Jo is the epitome of 'can't let go' and it really shows when she meets the people from her past who have let go their previous lives at the school.

You can run from the past but you cannot hide from it.

It's fair to say, this is a different direction to the typical Australian Bildungsroman.

The show is incredibly dark, gritty, at times brutally tragic, but clever and overall, unapologetic. Watching it feels like an Australian version of "Euphoria" meets "Yellow Jackets", with similar tones and themes from each. The pace works for the longer episodes, and the dialogue depicts Australian teens well.

The young female cast shine in this. For me, the character of Emma (played by Abbey Morgan) was a standout. The character of Alice was also particularly likeable and found the tormented relationships although sad, genuinely believable. It also allows the audience to think about how they would cope as 15 year olds left in the woods to their own devices just how challenging that environment would be. The setting itself is beautiful, with contrast between the Melbourne city to the stunning Victorian High Country.

It's definitely not going to be for everyone and the warning at the start of each episode is warranted, but overall, a bold new Australian show that is far from the generic with a phenomenal female cast that is sorely needed on our screens.

This show made me feel very nostalgic about my own experiences as a teenager, but I loved being able to see multiple perspectives and.. just experiencing it from an outside source. It was pretty raw for me even 15 years on, so a warning is warranted for those for whom it is still fresh.

I would definitely recommend the series for those who have encountered similar things as well as those who haven't - it's generally well produced and impressive overall.

I can't say I'm happy from watching it all, but I feel that it was valuable content.

To those who are experiencing it now.. it shall pass. Xx.
