Stumbled across this show on Stan. (Australian Movie/TV streaming website) and got hooked after the first episode. Basically it's a rom/com but it's presented in a format and style I've not seen before. It can appear a little mundane at first but once you give it a chance, it really outperforms some of the other series in this genre!It's funny whilst also being "real", a truly great combination! The lead performances are absolutely brilliant and are what made this stand out for me!!!Only one thing to point out and that is the language may be offensive at times, but it is not over the top and actually suits the characters and situations.Hope there are further series to come! Cant wait...

The fact that it's only 10 episodes long so far is a travesty, but the great news is that they're all quality episodes. The show doesn't feel like anyone is acting for the most part, and the subtleties are subtle and aren't ever thrown in your face. I hope we see more episodes, but I'm not sure what Direct TV was looking for when they made this show. Either way they made something worth watching that isn't nearly as trite as most of the shows on television these days. That is a win, and this show should be continued.
... View MoreWhat a stunner of a show. I'm glad I didn't overlook it as it's now one of my all time favorite series. The witty dialog and the casting of Adam Brody and Lisa Joyce as the main characters is genius. Have enjoyed each episode and it keeps getting better and better. The closing scene in episode 5 was the most emotionally erotic in memory.Hopefully, Audience Network will release Billy and Billie on iTunes, Netflix, Amazon or even DVD at the conclusion of season one. It and Lisa Joyce (unknown to me prior to this show) are deserving of a much larger audience., And Neil La Brute is a writer to follow in the future.
... View MoreWatched the first couple episodes - has real potential. A man and a woman meet after many years of not seeing each other, problem is they are step brother and sister (not blood relatives). They have a tenuous start to their relationship but decide to pursue it at the end.Has some "Curb Your Enthusiasm" type humor, good pathos, and you can actually connect with the lead characters. Adam Brody (The O.C., Gilmore Girls) is the lead male and Lisa Joyce (Boardwalk Empire, Law and Order) is the female lead. Language is a bit crude at times (it is targeted for a young adult audience.) If you see it give it a whole episode to connect with it before rating it.
