Yeah, I watched the first episode of the fourth season last night and thought it was still really good. It felt very psychologically true - the way Daniel does not feel bad about his "mutual decoupling" from his girlfriend until he finds out she is moving onto to a likely new boyfriend. I don't find Luke McGregor all that funny when doing "bits" on The Weekly, but as a comedic actor, he's fine. [Also, was it just my TV, but last night he seemed paler than ever. I almost feel the need to put sunglasses on, he is so white.] Celia Pacquola is just perfect in her role.
I see that Luke Buckmaster at the Guardian likes the show too, and he has written a lengthy explanation of why it works which I think is about right. It's funny to see in comments following that there are people who cannot stand it - including one guy who says it's terrible because its paints a false good picture of Tasmanians!
She was great in Utopia whilst he was not.
ReplyDeleteHe is not funny on Pickering either, mind you neither is the program.
