Tangle

I just caught all 3 series of this show on Netflix. How have I not seen it before? The ensemble cast is amazing, both the well known actors and also all the kids. Each character was well created and coherent through 22 episodes. One reviewer said they found all the characters unlikeable, that wasn't my experience at all.

The first series had a dark edge, driven by Ben Mendelsohn's character. That darkness disappeared in series 2 and most of series 3. I was worried it might lose its edge, but the 'tangle'of characters kept it tight and completely engaging. I assume they were planning another series, but the sudden ending wouldn't stop me from watching and thoroughly enjoying the whole complicated ride.

Great Aussie drama, well worth watching.

A great Aussie show. Don't make your mind up if you like it or not until you watch. It's a great show with all the ups and downs of a dysfunctional lot who keep you watching while their lives and lies implode around them.

I loved Tangle. The acting is superb, from the seasoned actors right through to the kids. Whoever cast this had their wits about them.

The show mirrors real life for some people, I can relate to some of the issues that were presented.

I have a question for the shows producers:

WHEN IS SEASON FOUR??

Keep going guys!

Please give us more seasons.

Absolutely brilliant show. Loved it. Dark. Confronting. Messy. Funny. Heart warming. It had everything. The writing was excellent. The acting fantastic. Sad it's over but enjoyed every minute.

We live 5km from where this was filmed in the posh suburbs of Kew and Abbotsford, to the east of Melbourne. These are generally affluent locations, with rightward-voting well heeled residents. The designer houses, Victorian architecture, and private schools and their chapels lent the series extra interest for locals like us. We liked the unravelling and deception of the main (white, this was before diversity expectations in casting) characters, as they behaved childishly (Nat), lustfully (almost all) and illegally (the teens, and Vince). The travails of a group of entitled adult parents paralleled the exploits of their teenage children.
