The Letdown - netflix

Patrick Brammall has a leading role in The Glitch too. Not a problem for me, because he’s in my tall/scruffy/sexy/middle aged enough sweet spot. 👍

Yeah, I'm really loving this so far.

Actually a lot of the Aus drama and comedy on Netflix is great... also loved Offspring and The Moodys [watch Moody Christmas first though].
And The Strange Calls was light hearted and quirky.

Although seems like Patrick Brammell [drug dealer in The Letdown] is in everything at the moment!

Glad to hear that, Waddle. Stick with it, as there are some great moments in S2.

Thank you for the wanted recommendation! I'm really enjoying it

I hated it and didn't get past the baby group intros.
Loved GLOW though.

3 months old tomorrow, don't know where the time has gone!

As is often the case, we did a week-by-week update with photos on our crappy Ntlworld homepage for DS1. There are pics of DS2 the day he was born & then the rest (fewer in number) are mostly bystander family shots. There seem to be gaps of where we didn’t get a pic for whole months at a time...

I never used to be able to remember how old my babies were. everyone else seemed to know to the day!

Aw Natsku - is your babe already 3 months? Time flies!

Loved it, also have a 12 week old (or 13 weeks, I don't know, brain fog is real!) so it is so real to me right now.

I'm a bit intolerant of flaky people CharDeeMacDennis, so I didn't take to Audrey initially. But stuff comes out later that puts it in a bit more perspective. The unspoken narrative is that she's reeling from emotional and physical pain.

I'd say worth pushing through to finish the first episode.

and I love their house. It looks a hell of a lot cleaner than mine did when I had a 12 week old baby!

I didn't like it at all. Admittedly I gave up about 15 minutes into the first episode because it was annoying the crap out of me.

I am retreating into rewatching Miss Fisher atm

I recently discovered Miss Fisher and it’s great. The social commentary aspect is interesting, but mostly I live watching Essie Davies chew up the scenery. Just seen the episode near the start of S2 with the fan dance in the gentlemen’s club and wondered if the other cast members had not been told what to expect. It looked very much like Nathan Page was trying not to laugh (but enjoying it) and that Essie Davies might have been genuinely topless for the big reveal going by the young constable’s face at the finale.

I couldn't get past the episode where they did cry it out and fell asleep with the noise cancelling headphones on which is a shame because If they hadn't of done that it would of been great!

It's so honest. I have never seen the experience of being a new mother presented so completely honestly before.

midwives and health visitors should watch it!

I've just started watching it and think it's so accurate and funny. The various mum types at the baby group are very well observed

Aussie stuff like this is fantastic - I also enjoy Offspring (and I'll check out wanted)..

I'm about 4 episodes in - they're doing a great job of balancing it all - you think you like/dislike someone then they carry on with that character and you discover that they're also a bit of a shit/not so bad - but it doesn't feel forced, just like they're people (obviously with some TV drama enhancement)..

I can't remember where this one is set, but Offspring made me seriously consider moving to Melbourne - it looked nice.

Thank you so much for the recommendation - thoroughly enjoying it

Loved every cringy second of it. I debated putting my pregnant SIL onto it, but thought it kinder not to.

That stuff is raw enough 7 years later, to watch it before your firstborn would be horrific.

While I’m making it sound like a bad series to watch, it was not. It’s real, funny, and ground-breaking. LOVE noni hazlehurst as the Health nurse. LOVE the baby boomer grandma who loves the idea but not the reality of helping out.

I really enjoyed this, will look up wanted. I am retreating into rewatching Miss Fisher atm

it's on netflix Smiled

What channel please?

just watched the first episode of this off the back of this thread. it made me cry a lot. DS1 was born 7 years ago but I so remember that feeling that you've actually ruined your life but there's no backing out now.

Wanted (Aussie crime/chase thriller) is a great depiction of female friendship and sisterhood too. Highly recommended.
