Why Are You Like This

A breath of fresh air in the otherwise samey Australian television landscape

I would just like to point out to all the people ranting about representation that one of the three creators of the show is a Muslim. It's not an agenda, and it's certainly not Netflix's agenda, because they had nothing to do with the concept or the writing. One Muslim character is not intended to represent the entire religion any more than the mostly Christian cast of virtually every Western show is intended to represent Christianity. And if you think this characterization defames Muslims in the eyes of the western world, you're wrong. It humanizes them. And that's what crushes stereotypes. Muslims are individuals; are they not?

Genuinely funny, witty, self deprecating comedy that has its finger on the pulse and is completely of its time. The plot and characters could not exist outside Melbourne in the 20. I genuinely laughed. Adored the set and wardrobe, especially the absolutely beautiful home and furniture in Mia And Austin's house is an absolute dream.

It's kind of funny I guess for a comedy where you laugh at overly woke people but it's written by overly woke people - it just didn't really work because it's not quite getting what people find funny about woke people.
