Pretty good
Not as funny as I thought it would be, a bit depressing actually, but still had its moments.
Anyone else watching it?
I missed it last week on sbs but you can watch it online on the sbs website.

The third episode was fantastic, much better than the first two.

Yeah, it's getting a bit better. But I reckon off_target's right, it's a bit depressing, and perhaps too depressing to be a comedy. It sympathises with the main characters to the point that it fails to successfully take the piss out of them.
That's why I think the show would actually work a lot better if it were a drama with the occasional comedic element thrown in. Bogan Pride as a surreal dramedy a la Teachers (UK) might have been interesting. But the singing sitcom angle is rubbish.
That's exactly what I meant when I said it was a bit depressing.
But even though its not that funny, it is still good and I am still watching it.
This was very depressing, and also quite disgusting in an unfunny way. I am sure that's the point of the whole "bogan" angle, but it doesn't work as a very convincing comedy.
