Not normally a 'binger' - but wow! I've stopped at episode four because I'm really tired - but this show is wonderful. Unlike other streaming shows that hook you in for the the first two episodes and then pad and pad until the finale - every episode so far has progressed the storyline. The acting is fantastic, the storyline is out there (but also relatable), the direction is spot on, and the moments when the realization of what has happened around them... I cannot wait to finish this series. I've heard it called 'Lord of the Flies' with private school women - but that's dismissive of how truly well thought out, and well written this show is. Just love it.

An excellent character study with good comedy moments. Great quality actresses interpreting a very good script.

A positive point is that the series knows how to explore the gray areas of all the characters, nobody is totally good or totally bad, which gives an air of maturity to the show.

The performances are very good, the characters are charismatic and none of them are boring.

The soundtrack features good alternative versions of famous songs.

The theme of the end of the world is secondary, just an excuse to keep these characters confined having to interact with each other.

Basically a comedy drama.

Sorry for bad english, I m writing from Brazil and loved this show which I have watched on a single day today.

Don't take this as an apocalyptic survival guide, which some of the reviews are basing it upon. It's a well written comedy, which incorporates topics that are relevant to modern day. It's not trying to be offer a therapy session for the emotional moments, but more a lighthearted touch on issues some people face but in a comedic way.

It is not a series about real to life survival, and what to do in an apocalypse, it makes jokes on a group of ladies trying to survive whilst not taking itself seriously. You can tell the cast enjoyed filming and it makes it even more entertaining.

If you want a laugh, and to see a group make fun of living at the end of the world, then give it a go.

I literally saw the trailer for the show the day it air and the trailer had me laughing so hard I could not wait to get home from work and watch it. First episode started off awesome, and then occasional chuckles and then just stupid school drama. What about the apocalypse? Where's the humor? Where is the fight for survival without mean girls? I was really really hoping this was gonna be a trial and error hilarious fight for survival but it's basically a highschool drama with water. Very sad and disappointed, I really wanted another show that had me rolling and I only got that from the trailer everything else was a disappointment, slow moving, and annoying typical mean girl high school drama crap that's very unoriginal.

Honestly, this show Is the funniest and most original series I've seen in ages. When I tell you it is nothing like I expected, oh my god. I genuinely can't remember the last time a show or movie made me laugh so hard that I couldn't breathe through my painfully silent tummy-rupturing laughter. In a time where everything is so serious and we see nothing but bad news every time we turn on the TV, this show is an absolute gem and diamond in the rough and light at the end of that negativity tunnel. I cannot wait to see what these actors and creators go on to make this show - or any other show for that matter. I really hope that this show and it's amazing cast wins ALL the awards! If there was more than 10 stars, I would give it.

I absolutely loved the premise. All women cast, stranded, post apocalypse, and being stuck with all the people from your past. But most of the characters were pretty unlikable, some of the actresses completely over acted, and the storylines weren't great. Also being a woman that loves women, was hoping and expecting a woman loving woman storyline. But we got apsolutely none of that. It was all just highschool friendships and enemies which was a little boring to have every storyline focused on that. I wanted a bit more spice. Also not personally a huge fan of the poop crude jokes.

Overall quite disappointing.

Hilarious female led comedy with instantly quotable moments and a ridiculously good all-Aussie cast. I had no idea what to expect when I saw this advertised and holy cow was it a fun ride.

Class of '07 kept us laughing through the apocalypse, helped along by a sharp script, generous plot and backstories, and great performances by new and seasoned performers. Watching the women regress to their high school selves in the face of the 'poco' is great in and of itself, but Class of '07 says and delivers so much more. The multi-layered commentary on lifelong friendships, female relationships and the enduring impact of school/teen years are woven together seamlessly atop laugh out loud slapstick moments.

Completely original, unpredictable and left me wanting a whole lot more. Bring on season two of the 'poco.

Wow - could this really be? A familiar plot but completely original quirky fun series? I enjoyed every episode of this new Prime video offering- especially after I realized it wasn't just another run of the mill apocalypse show. I'm not sure how it got made in todays landscape of remakes, reboots and regurgitated ideas but I'm so happy it did! I really hope it gets enough streams to warrant a second series at Amazon. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just quickly say (in 350 characters or more) that the general description given when I first looked it up had me very dismissive of it as a whole but I'm glad I didn't let that stop me from giving it a go. So you should give it a shot- you might just find yourself laughing and enjoying the ride- especially if you like your comedy with a pinch of dark humor mixed in; also the soundtrack is a great nostalgia boost- sadly no FloRida though. I do wish Amazon would promote it a bit more. I believe I've met the requirement for enough words to be able to post my review (not a fan of that) any who 10/10 Give it a go- enjoy the show!

I found the series entertaining to watch. Yes it's a little silly, but it's not trying to be anything else. Plus I love that it is an Aussie production.

The episodes aren't too long, there's enough humour vs drama. It's interesting to see all the scenarios play out as the ladies navigate survival, their friendships and the trauma of the situation they all have found themselves in.

It encourages you to image how you would fit into this situation had you the unfortunate displeasure of being in their position. Would you be a leader, a follower, or a disruptor. Would you fall apart and be useless to the group? What kind of survival techniques do you actual posses that could be helpful? Would you turn on the group and go feral?

Great acting by Emily Browning and Caitlin Stacey, plus the rest of the cast as well.

I got hooked in strongly in the first episode with a few opening scenes and the premise was very clear and apparent straight away which was great. I love that this show is t all about love and sex, the characters are each Dyna.ic and we learn about the characters and their lives little by little which adds much appreciated substance and mystery to the narrative and storylines.

This show isn't slow paced and has kept me on the edge of my seat, often shocked at the drama occurring. The some gross scenes etc go a bit too far imo but the storyline is good, acting and effects are good too. Great premise for a drama, sad it's only 8 episodes, hoping for more episodes and more seasons,hoping they come soon.

This is a truly binge worthy show. The unique cast of characters and the plot twists keep you wanting more. Streaming series have been so slow and cringe lately so it's refreshing to see such a well-made series that has just the right amount of pace and comedy. While there are some awkward moments, you can overlook them quickly as the storyline progresses quickly. And yes, the fact that the ladies are stranded on an island is unrealistic, but it doesn't matter because the show isn't meant to be taken seriously. In fact, that's the fun part about the show. It's just fun and that's the point. Just let yourself be entertained.

Lord of the flies but make it Aussie and silly

Didn't know what I was in for but definitely had some good cheeky Aussie humour, touched on some some emotional topics in between the silliness and dug in deep into trauma a lot of young women go through in their formative years and how they deal with it in their developing adulthood. Yes it's a bit silly, goofy and ridiculous most of the time and sure isn't what would be considered a cinematic masterpiece but it is a bit of enjoyable fun. Good development of quite a bit of the cast and good to see some recognisable faces take on more comedic roles.

I agree with the majority of positive reviews about the series. It strikes an excellent balance between lighthearted and emotional moments throughout.

What stood out to me was how the series skillfully avoided getting stuck on one particular path, and instead changed the premise several times. As a result, no subplot overstayed its welcome. I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers.

The last two episodes were slightly too chaotic and goofy compared to the earlier episodes. Some of the protagonists acted out of character, and their interactions were not as strong as they could have been. It felt like the writers had to move the overarching story forward, which was necessary to set up the series for another season.

Overall, the series was still highly enjoyable, and I would recommend it.

I like how this show lightly explores women issues, creative post-apocalyptic living, female relationship dynamics, all while maximizing laughs. It's rare to see something with a female-dominant cast, and I adore it. It's like a more lighthearted Yellowjackets with synchronized dance and slapstick girl fights. Highly recommend!

Note for Amazon Studios: I'm a 35-year old American woman who wants to see a second season come alive! The actresses involved are well-cast. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the ways the characters mature throughout Season 1; Season 2 could explore more scenarios and drop more bombs from the ladies' past history. Maybe a drone flies over or someone tries to loot them.

If you like romcoms, dramas and apocalyptic storylines, you will love this! Has depth and layering at the same time as being comedically light, plus the ending leaves room for another series; can't wait for next one!:))

I also like that they have completely fresh actors in it. Based around classic highschool girl politics, it's intelligent in the sense that there's a part of every single character that is relatable and it suggests how people can change when thrown in life threatening situations. It's even more relatable because it highlights the fact that there's a lot from highschool that never really leaves us and how we allow it to control our decisions later on in life.

First episode was really good, but as the show went on it gradually did what I hoped it wouldn't: all the characters went back to what they were like in high school. Not only is this unrealistic, my big problem with this is it's unoriginal and predictable.

I'm only on episodic 3 and I'm ready to quit. This had potential, but they seem to have squandered it. Some fantastic actors are in this shown and they're wasted.

I'm going to keep going for another episode or two (if I can stomach it, thankfully they're short) and if it improves I'll happily delete this review and give a better rating - but I can't really seen that happening unfortunately.

Great show, binged it in 1 day. Mixture of comedy and seriousness, and best of all set in one place.

Most of the cast are recognisable from both US and Australian TV shows and films. (Although I think most, if not all are Australian actors).

The only regret I have is watching this show too fast - there are only 8 episodes.

TIP: Pace yourself!

Hopefully there's another season, as there's definitely enough material to keep it going!

I watched the complete first season over three days, it was definitely worth it, I don't think I've seen an Australian comedy/drama this good in quite some time.

The are some really great heartfelt moments here that got me right in the feels. Then there are some actual laugh out loud moments throughout as well.

I particularly loved all the flashbacks to their school life and it just made the characters so much better for it.

This is possibly one of the best takes on the post apocalyptic genre I have seen in ages.

I love all the actors and their performances and really hope to see a season 2.

At last a series that's original, fun, well made, and totally free of politics and political correctness.

This show kept me entertained and amused with its interesting story, hilarious acting and great directing.

Hollywood - watch and learn.

I wish I'd paced myself but it was impossible not to binge watch this all women, high scool reunion, take on thems from lord of the flies, apocalyptic shows, and just fun and interesting characters.

I have nothing bad to say about this show. So... if you like to see something different, fun, but also with characters that are both good and bad, and fun. Watch this.
