"Mr Inbetween" is a half-hour comedy series inspired by the cult film "The Magician" and centers around Ray Shoesmith. Juggling a relationship, parental responsibilities, friendships and a sick brother while earning a living would be difficult for anyone, but it's particularly difficult for Ray since he's a criminal for hire. Ray "takes care of people" -- collecting debts, relieving them of drugs and guns, and often taking care of them on a more permanent basis. Ray demands respect and does not tolerate it when someone disregards his very clear code of ethics.

Critics Consensus

Mr Inbetween's familiar setup is quickly forgiven thanks to its expertly built tension and a mesmerizing performance from Scott Ryan.

Ryan radiates a casual toughness, like he's cheerfully counting your most breakable bones. Mr. Inbetween gets wilder as it goes along, until the season finale becomes a fully surreal, Fargo-ish tale of a hit gone way wrong.

B+

Pair these deeper thoughts with sharp dialogue, an ideally grubby aesthetic, and strong supporting characters, and "Mr. Inbetween" ends up a rewarding experience worth much more exploration

Few faces have been as instantly iconic as Ryan's, with his shaved head, smirk and wide, semi-sad eyes that slowly track and calculate every situation he's in. He's immediately likable despite the line of work - not an easy feat.

Foul-mouthed gangster show hides sly and tender dark comedy.

Wow what a series. I did not expect it to be this good. Hope to see Scott Ryan in more projects.

An absolute gritty gem with heart. I'm angry how late I was in watching this series, I'm staggered my friends hadn't heard about it and i'm devastated it's only 3 seasons. A strong recommendation. It does have some dark humour that some audiences may not gel with, but I laughed my head off. Australia's 'Pulp Fiction'? This story and lead character grip you to the end. The show is filled with darkness, comedy, tragedy, grit and heart. I binged all 3 seasons in 1 week.

How this show never got nominated is a mystery... Dialogs, characters, script, actors, everything is just spot on. The Australian Gentlemen

Absolutely outstanding. This is without doubt the most thoughtful, engaging, exciting and moving TV show I have ever seen, and I'm in my mid-50s. Every episode is clever, funny, relatable and beautifully acted, and somehow manages to blend the everyday life and emotions of fatherhood with a depth of meaning and insight that I just have not seen in any other show, ever. I just want to keep watching it and feeling it, letting it impact me - I've never felt this passionate about a TV show before. It is a truly remarkable piece of art and an incomparable experience to watch it. Thank you for making it and for sharing your gift - what an amazing contribution to the world.

Fantastic watch. I loved every episode. Takes you on the full emotional roller coaster, I laughed, I cried and everything in between. Truly one of the best series ever, cast perfectly.
