John Doyle Globe and Mail 05/17/2021
As much as these characters present themselves as hypersensitive and aware, they are clueless, as dumb as a bag of hammers. There's a wit to the revealing of their superficial sensitivities. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 05/12/2021
The friskiness and expletives will garner the initial reaction, but the show has more to offer. Go to Full Review Jessie Thompson London Evening Standard 04/19/2021
4/5
The show smartly and affectionately unpicks why this internet-savvy generation are always so keen to start arguments, revealing the economic instability that underpins their existence. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground 06/25/2022
A must-see comedy that's as satirical as it is candid and relatable. Go to Full Review Ella Kemp NME (New Musical Express) 05/19/2021
3/5
Sketches can be individually amusing, but after the first episode it's hard to get a sense of where the overall narrative is going - and whether its frenetic pace is sustainable. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 05/18/2021
2/5
The edgy series uses irreverent humor to poke fun at the "wokeness" of 20-somethings, and the three leads' social-media soaked, outrageously narcissistic attitude is almost too hard to watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/27/2021 I loved this show, it's hilarious, wish they'd make another season. The only show I've seen that manages to poke fun at wokeness and generation whatever-generation-it-is-now without being patronising or sounding like its written by old men. See more 06/21/2021 Very underrated show. It's hilarious and the caste has done a phenomenal job See more 06/14/2021 Honestly a really solid Aussie comedy - don't take the current rating at face value, I highly recommend giving it a shot. The characters are intentionally framed as anti-heroes, it worked in Always Sunny and it works here See more 05/07/2021 A really funny show, able to poke fun at left-wing attitudes to societal issues but because it's coming from 'our side' and written as a reflection of the writers lived experiences, it doesn't feel like punching down. See more 05/07/2021 This show is already one of the best Australian comedies out there, and I'm so glad it's getting an international audience. It is so funny and feels really fresh, and every shot in this show looks absolutely amazing. So much great new talent to look out for here, really hope it continues! See more 05/05/2021 Wish I could have gave it 0 stars. This is one of dumbest depiction of islamic values See more Read all reviews
