It's nice to see Oz TV investing in scripted comedy. The production values are high and nicely capture the look and feel of the various crappy tv shows being parodied. (I'm sure the crew work on them at other times)
There are some promising performers doing their best with some basic writing. 90% of each sketch is about faithfully reproducing the source, the rest of giving it a twist. Hopefully the writers find their feet in time and get a bit more creative - each punchline is visible a mile out - I'm sure it takes a while to warm up and it's only fair to remember that this is the first ep. The laugh track is painfully bad.
Update: Yeah it's not getting any better. I honestly dont know if it is a reflection on the sorry state of Oz tv that gives the writers little to work with or if it is that they have utter contempt for the channel 7 audience.

I'd heard nothing about this film when I happened upon it on Stan (Australian streaming platform) but liked the look
It's nicely shot, with rich moody colours, and features two strong naturalistic performers that you can't take your eyes off. Suitably low key soundtrack too.
It's a bittersweet story about feelings gone bad which tries to cleverly jump around in time but doesn't always land this aspect - but I respect the filmmaker for being true to their vision.
At just over 70 mins, it's not a big investment, so take the time to check it out if you can. I am hopeful that we see more from the people involved in this.
(One small question - what was the scene in the garage at night all about? Just a red herring?)
