I can't believe how low the score is on metacritic for such a film. This is a great film. So gripping, so much tension, so much at stake!

This is like the one Jed Apatow film/TV associated production that isn't good. Not quite bad enough to be enjoyably bad, to laugh and mock throughout with your housemates/family/whatever. Just plain bad.

I think that everyone needs to watch this documentary - everyone in Australia, first and foremost, but everyone else in the world also. It shows the dire impacts of not addressing climate change.

First two specials were amazing. Always be my maybe is a great film. The special was ok, laughed occasionally. It felt kind of recycled to me.

I loved the first two seasons. I binged all three compulsively, and watched the first two seasons a couple times. The third season really brings it down though. The biggest let down in the third season is the the excessive mawkishness and the narrative that doesn't really go anywhere. Maybe there is a point to that, not everything is linear in life. We don't always have a realization and then change for good. We change, we backslide, we get a little better a little worse. Also, the atheism/scepticism conversations are a little 2006. People who believe in horoscopes are silly, we know. I went through my new atheist phase and still basically believe in that position. However, it can get a bit dull. But I think the soppy moments are often overdone in the last season, you get moments like that which are a bit much in previous seasons but it basically all there is in the third. I feel like you could treat the end of season two as the finale and it would be more emotionally fulfilling, less boring.

Great film - meditation on motherhood and on one priorities in life

Watched it twice. Great little series - ends kind of abruptly though. Like it didn't get a full run and the support it needed. Hilarious though. The PhD candidate is too real

I'm not finished yet but I have enjoyed it so far. Some of the things that bother me about this are. - It seems like we are meant to sympathise with her because she has so much potential. She got into collage and wanted to study creative writing. What about people in that situation that don't have such pretentious aspirations? - It seems like all the people she encounters that are in a similar situation that we are meant to sympathise with are conventionally attractive while the people that are there to show how unpalatable her situation is are unattractive. My point is - the show seems to have this subtle dynamic where we are sympathetic to her plight because she's an attractive would be middle class white woman who has fallen on hard times. If she had been unattractive, born working poor, or non-white - are we not supposed to care? - A lot of the decisions she makes earlier didn't make sense and she kept on doing kind of stupid ill thought-out things.

Thought this was a solid film - very engaged, never a dull moment, realistic characters, real stakes, real choices

I have watched this film twice now. Both times I cried. It is an extremely moving and profound of depiction of friendship. Highly recommend.
