good back-story, and good acting

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

No direction. this JOSH is a honking goose with no comb. his affinity is to be non-committal on experience. all affect is flat and drab. there is no joy to this BOYZ life. he has people who orbit within his eyesight but there is no connection. he loves a dog but will not fill up the water bowl. JOSH is a piece of whiteboard and we just paint our experiences on to his surface. there is no there, there. putty boy

Please Like Me is a very thoughtful dark comedy, and there isn't anything else quite like it. The writing is amazing. From a first glance this show might appear to be about gay life in Australia, and I've read several descriptions of the show that say something like that, but it's just a really funny show about life, generally, with a main character and many side characters who happen to be gay. It can be dark and depressing at times, and sometimes silly, but always very insightful without trying too hard, being pretentious, or going for shock value like so many shows seems to do for a laugh. We could use a lot more shows like this one.

I don't normally write reviews but have been so thoroughly entertained by this show that I couldn't resist writing one.I only recently discovered this show and have binge-watched as much as I could.Wow what a great watch, with ups and downs, funny parts, real-life situations and sad parts. This was one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched in years.The story and acting were all superb.I wish I had lived in a shared house with friends as close as portrayed in this show.Well done to all involved in making this show, you've all contributed to a beautiful story which I enjoyed on many, many levels.

I stumbled upon this show on TV last holiday and I am so glad! Being 20-somethinng who still has a lot to figure out how life works, almost every character is relate-able for me. Josh with his uncertainty towards every decision he makes, Tom with his awkwardness, even Josh's mum dealing with meltdown after meltdowns also her friends she encounters soon.One of the criteria(not always) of a good show for me is there is not a single character I hate, even characters that many ppl irritated with in this board (which I can see why), I could totally understand their behavior.The best episode for me is when there is only 2 characters in the entire episode, Josh and his mum go hiking while engaging in heart-to-heart conversation. Everything about it is just so soothing, exhilarating, plus the beautiful Australian woods/forest/swamp (honestly idk what it's called) successfully made me cried with tears of joy and sadness half end throughout the episode.If you're looking for meaningful yet light-heart show especially if you're 20-something and depressed, this show is an ABSOLUTE MUST-WATCH!
