    First ever review. Brilliant show. One of the few both my wife and I love. Very funny and sometimes very sad with real character growth over the seasons. Always looking forward to the next episode. This may be the best Australian TV show ever made. A great antidote for the international Crocodile Dundee perception of our country.

    I think this show could have had more depth and more longevity if it focused on stories of the supporting cast instead of everything being about the lead and his sex life. The mom's story was cool , but depressing. The father was OK with wife. But everything was central to the lead. If they developed the other characters more it would not have been just a gay show.

    I had no expectations of this show whatsoever and pretty much watched it randomly.. I was pleasantly surprised. I've scored it an 8 based on the 2nd and 3rd season of the show, though I would rate the first season lower, probably a 6, as it takes a while to understand, and like the characters. Josh, the main character is a recently out gay guy living with his best friend and various others over time. Each one of the main characters is quite complex, yet surprisingly relatable. While on the surface the show is very whimsical and comical, they have tackled some really difficult issues, such as depression and suicide in an incredible manner - the later episodes are particularly moving. I think the jokes only gain in strength as it goes along too, while at first I found it a little stilted, many of the episodes have made me laugh out loud. There are sex scenes, nothing too intimate shown but obviously if you're not cool with gay romance - this is not for you.Overall, would recommend - could see myself watching this again.

    Josh is an everyday guy learning about sex, love, life and responsibilities. He is only slightly effeminate and there is really no clue where this is going, it's an exploration of emotions and gut wrenching relationship issues. Draws the viewer into the new age world of today's young adults. Explores the generational cracks and their impact on the ones least prepared to shoulder them, till challenged. And everyone has their own challenges here. All gets sorted by the intuitively intelligent Josh. So very real. Emotional, endearing characters with nothing pretentious about them.Fresh faces, great casting, and you will love the characters, everyone has their story to tell, and you get to know them all well. Great icons of the Australian TV industry also bring their talent, experience and professionalism to the fore as support characters, making this another Aussie TV success story like Offspring or Sea Change. I hope ABC keep this one going all the way. Love it.
