Who are these 50% of Aussies who think we need more locally produced content on streaming services? Our content sucks, who’s actually watching these Aussie dramas / series
How very dare you do my girls Bluey and Bingo like that.
Bluey is on ABC iView. We get that for free.
Yeah I’m more responding to “Our content sucks, who’s actually watching these Aussie dramas / series.” Maybe it’s different for actual Aussies but as an American I know Bluey is a household favorite.
I really liked showing bluey to my kid, as in I enjoyed watching it, the kid doesn’t understand shit yet. But my SO started pointing out that the “morals” were a bit off sometimes, like the dad is always giving in to what the kids want, they get rewarded for being a bit nasty, etc etc. Have you ever felt that way?
Every day i wake up hoping this is not the day of playing the living statue. Again.
Deadloch would like to have a word.
But seriously, I can imagine 50% of people saying in the abstract they would like more locally produced content, though I’m not sure that it would actually affect purchasing behaviour.
“We need more locally produced content, the stuff we have all sucks”
Australian taskmaster is a treasure and there’s nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.
Modern Aussie dramas kinda suck, but for comedy we’ve made some absolute gems in the past like Rake, Kath and Kim, and All Aussie Adventures.
Also back in th day we made some solid dramas like Underbelly, and All Saints.
US resident here. I absolutely loved Glitch. The first season anyway
Probably the same kind of people who make similar arguments about CanCon.
There’s always been this tension between “We need a thriving TV and film industry in this country” and “Most of what we produce is garbage for the purpose of using government grants” here. Can’t help but wonder if it’s the same on your end of the planet (#justcommonwealththings).
At least there are always a couple diamonds in the sludge, though (here, Schitt’s Creek, TPB, and I’m sure some others even though the other ones I think of are looong over)
I liked The Almighty Johnsons quite a bit
Everybody needs good neighbours.
The Kettering Incident was great.
My wife from the USA loves Aussie drama series
It is way better than the american stuff. we either look for BBC or Aussie productions for good acting and characters with depth.
Utopia was so good.
