I just finished watching Season 1 (from 2013) of this new Australian sitcom created by and starring Josh Thomas. It's about a young man whose girlfriend breaks up with him saying "you are gay, aren't you?" and we go from there ...

 

It's touching, sweet, quirky, funny ... and he almost immediately meets a hot young co-worker and they start making out.

 

I found it really enjoyable, highly recommend it ... Season 2 starts in August.

You're welcome. The lead is a bit annoying but also endearing in a way. Not sure anyone buys the hot guy going for him instantly but .... it's tv ... who cares. and the hot guy is really sweet ... and I'm not usually someone who likes twinks!

 

Can't wait for season 2 .... Funny, I have Amazon Prime but I've never used their streaming service ... i torrent everything ....

This series barely made a ripple when I brought this up a while ago. It's such a cute series; I wonder why not?

I watched it when it aired on Australian TV - it was great.

 

Josh Thomas is an interesting comedian who had a relationship with another Australian comedian - they both used parts of their relationship in their comedy routines.

You wonder why not what?

Why the dim response back then and now.

Who knows. I don't recall seeing it. Maybe I wasn't around here then. I certainly hadn't seen it until recently.

Season one was delightfully awkward, really enjoyable. Three episodes into season two (which came out 18 months after the end of season one) suggests the series has already lost its charm. The characters were quirky and entertaining in the first season; not so now. Even the sexy as hell boyfriend has lost his charms. Maybe it'll pull out of its nosedive.

My HD has been recording this - will watch it maybe tonight and let your know my verdict .... it is very Australian in its humor - so maybe that does not translate across the Pacific

Funny, Kevin. We have really been enjoying the new season. We thought it was better written and much more relatable and fun.

 

It takes all types!

You were just ahead of the curve. Sometimes too early is not too good.
