Dave JI figure I’m likely late to the party, but I quite enjoyed the first episode of #Irreverent on #NetflixAU. (FWIW, I believe it also streams on Netflix in NZ, and on Peacock in the US.) The quirky, small country town’s almost a cliché in Australian comedy, but it’s a trope we seem to have a handle on, and despite everything thrown at the film industry here, we have the talent to consistently make it work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreverent
Having now binged the whole (first, I hope?) season of #Irreverent, I’m glad to say it holds up, and gets better as the season goes on. There’s a hook for further episodes—one that I hope gets picked up—but in today’s streaming climate, who knows? It seems to be performing well on #NetflixAU, but like many local productions it’s how a series fares abroad that determines whether it sinks or swims.
