Decent

Series. I've been finding these cute Australian series on YouTube but some only have a few episodes and aren't always in chronological order. This one the men are total misogynists , sexists tho ( if that sort of thing blows a show fr you). Was surprised to see Kat Stewart ( I thought I'd seen every thing she's in) in this I liked her in Offspring as the lovely Asher Keddie's sister. I'm going to try to find the rest of the episodes tonight.

Great Australian show

This is a sharp and witty take on the advertising industry. It's very funny and easy to watch. Hopefully a second season will happen at some stage to tie a few loose ends up. The six episodes fly by in no time, and left me desiring more time with the characters.

The acting is spot on. The portrayals of all the characters all worked, and easily avoided caricature. They were all endearing in their own way, and were layered in a way that really called for more episodes to flesh them out further.

Overall, this little Australian production should be very proud of what they have created. There definitely need to be more series like this produced for Australian and overseas audiences. Good Australian humour should not be limited to a small platform.

Truth about advertising

[summerfieldcj · 10/10 · 22 September 2020]

This was a great show with likeable characters, realistic plots based around an ageing (40?) creative director. Many ad-based shows have been created in America since this show and while some work, this is the original and funniest. It has the smarts of the Gruen Transfer with the irreverence of Rake and a dash of Utopia. I can't believe they didn't make a sequel.
