      well they were snivelling, self-vindicating, wife beating little cry baby wankers. so it is hardly surprising as he was a real gangster. the guy hosting the group was even worse than those attending in my view. a typical judgemental, "sexual predator supporting" government control freak. he hated ray because ray was the real face of public justice, not the police or any other government flunkies. ray basically embarrassed the others there.

      The other great thing about those scenes is how they start out trying to be remorseful about being violent assholes, but then they start cracking jokes and backing each other up on their reasoning behind assaulting people, basically just broing out on their shared interest of being toxic pricks, and the group leader is too milquetoast to reign them in

    A moment I loved for Gary was when he was launching his home shot porn business and he started getting mostly gay clients and he didn’t care about that. He was so into the act of filming and improving it, he was excited for the business as it gave him more opportunities to improve camera’s, lighting and production value. He was a flourishing artist…lol

    This show is what I tell non-Aussies to watch when they wanna know how we actually speak to each other. None of that Crocodile Dundee "Throw another shrimp on the barbie" shit. To an Australian, the dialogue just feels natural, like conversations I've heard and had thousands of times. The script just nails how we talk, all the little nuances and quirks, the slang, the dry humour, everything. it's my favourite part of the show, it's just so brutally Australian in every way and that's one of the reasons I love it so much.

    The episode where the child gets snatched from the shopping centre was one of the most chilling ones I've ever watched. Any parent who has had that heart rending process of trying to find your kid in a shopping centre when they have wandered off knows that feeling and his reaction to that was so real, it was incredible to watch. The end of that episode related to the inner feelings of any parents thoughts on how they would react to anyone molesting their kids. Incredibly written and gut wrenching to watch. Highly recommend the series.

Last year, they were flying back to Australia, to spend X'mas with his family. I gave him my copy of "Mr. Inbetween" for the flight. Living here for the past years, he's lost touch with his homeland and did not know of the show.

      @@hurricaneaquatics from wiki because I'm too lazy..
      "A dim sim is Chinese-inspired meat and vegetable dumpling-style snack food, popular in Australia and to a lesser extent in New Zealand. It was popularized in 1945 by a Chinese immigrant in Melbourne who originally came from Guangdong, William Chen Wing Young, the father of Australian celebrity chef, author and TV personality Elizabeth Chong. The name derives from the pronunciation diim syiim in Toisanese, the predominant dialect spoken at the time by Central Melbourne's Chinese community.
      The commercial snack food normally consists of minced meat, cabbage, and seasoning, encased in a wrapper similar to that of a traditional siu mai dumpling. They are typically cylindrical, or sometimes a larger, globular shape. They can be steamed or deep fried, and are commonly dressed or dipped in soy sauce, or sweet chilli sauce. An alternative way of cooking dim sims is to barbecue them, by cutting the dim sim in half lengthwise and placing it on a hot barbecue"
      Cheap ones are so-so, but gourmet dimmies are something else altogether.

    As an Aussie, I've never been more proud to say that this show came from our country. I recommend it to everyone I chat to about shows. Loved every second of it. The characters, the shifts between comedy and drama, the great writing. Everything about the series was just so well done. And I love that Scott Ryan ended the series on his own terms and when he felt was right.

    that ending scene in the taxi with the RUN song made me fucking howl with laughter when I watched the show. The whole show itself really just embodies something that I'm pretty sure I'm misremembering Chopper say, which is why I was glad to hear you reference him since I had the same thought about the show.
    The show itself just feels like one of Choppers "big yarns" he likes to tell, like that interview where he just takes a reporter around and tells his version of where and how he killed people a month or so before he died. That and Ryan Scott fucking perfected Choppers big "I'm about to fuck something" grin.

    Bloody fantastic show.

What a ride. Like many people I never wanted it to end. It's that good.
    Because you didn't mention her in the video I think it's notable to mention what a great performance Brooke Satchwell did as Ray's part-time girlfriend in the earlier episodes. I mean, everyone is fantastic, the acting performances are excellent from everyone, but she really stood out. Given her beginnings as a cheesy soap actress (on Neighbours) this was a far more challenging role for her and she did it brilliantly.

      What is really sad about Ray's girlfriend breaking up with him was her misplaced distrust. She simultaneously didn't know how dangerous he was and how off base her judgment of him was. The abused should feel safe and want to protect themselves, but Ray is literally the dangerous kind of guy who would protect her and never hit her. What felt out of character about that scene with her brother being tossed through the glass was that Ray knows how to hold it in until it's the right time to express his will. Maybe it was quitting the cigarettes. But you can understand her reaction.

It was captivating and entertaining to the max. I don’t think the ending was lacking, anything, though. His life was as the series ended. Open ended, puzzling, potentially violent, enigmatic and leaving us to wonder if the character ever found peace. I don’t think he did. He may have been killed in the last scene, but it didn’t seem to bother him.
    I think we are left in the end as we were in the beginning. Puzzled, only moderately by his violence, but really attracted to the wonderful humanity of his character.

    One of the biggest reasons why this show is so good is because from day 1 of shooting Scott Ryan literally just turned up and winged it and that is the reason he is so real and likeable.
    He himself doesn't describe himself as an actor. He went to 1 acting class and was told he would never be any good. He's not caught up in all the Hollywood type acting BS. He just keeps it real.
    Love this show.

    I am constantly recommending Mr. Inbetween as a terrific example of great Australian filmmaking. It is an absolute gem 👌.

    Ive never wanted to eat a "dimmie" but after watching this Ive got to have one now. No idea what it is but my man Ray likes it.

    I LOVE MR. INBETWEEN! I had the pleasure of stumbling upon it and watching it when it was live on FX. It’s been very frustrating not really knowing anyone else that’s seen it haha

    I am downloading the First Season now. Thank you for the excellent script, and voice work. It's nice to listen to a human on CZcams.

    I'm glad to see other countries approaching this top Australian show.
    I met the guy who played Ray a while ago, and he's a nice guy.

    The way he looks at YOU (the viewer) at the end, sent a chill down my spine and it stuck for a few days. One of the best series ever.
