"Feels more like a live-action cartoon than a show about people that may exist in real life."

Decider

"Skewers identity politics and cancel culture with the nihilism that defines today’s twentysomethings."

—

The Guardian

"A fresh voice in Australian comedy. Too often Australian comedies are anodyne and unrelatable. This new series is the antidote – bold, unapologetic and hilarious."
