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.
... View MoreIf you like Amelia, Transparent etc you'll love this. Great soundtrack, funny and quirky. It's also quite moving at times. The characters are great and you warm to them all. It gets better as you go along, so stick with it. I'm at season three and liking it the most so far. A real gem. So glad I found it. I'm really enjoying every episode so far. Also tackles themes of homosexuality and mental health in a revealing way.Jump in and watch it. It'll make you feel a bit more relaxed about life. It's sometimes so funny the actors appear to be genuinely laughing.
... View MoreJosh 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.
... View MoreIn one word, this show is fun.From the teaser, to the entertaining title credits where Josh dances a funny little jig while he cooks up the name of the episode (Spanish Eggs for example), to the final scene, this show is all about the humor to be found in our own quirks and our quirky relationships with others...Josh and his first boyfriend Geoffrey, his dad and his Thai girlfriend Mae, his mom and his aunt, Josh and his aunt, Josh and Claire, Ted and Nev, etc.The other thing that makes this a joy to watch is that the cast clearly enjoys what they're doing...it shines through their portrayals. There are also a few scenes where I swear they improvised, and improvised really well. Think 'Arrested Development meets generation Y'.
