Be patient b4 writing off this show! I almost stopped watching after three eps, and it has at least three levels of humour:
1. the very obvious, almost slapstick style. 2. darker, more British, slow burn style, that it took me a few episodes to tune into, underneath #1 3. more in your face, a combination of the above two, still kind of subtle, almost ironic commentary on small town life & discrimination- sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, heteronormality and probably more;...
cos I was busy writing it off for the level 1 humour, which is in itself perhaps a fourth level of humour - In small town Aussie life it is the crazy larger than life characters and attitudes that take up all the space.
Perhaps it tries to be too many things. work at too many levels, but it is rewarding at different levels too, if you give it a chance
