Ray is the quintessential anti-hero. He has the sociopathic side that scares the crap out of the viewer with his potential for violence and yet sometimes, his attitude is one we would all like to have, such as with the lady with the dog in the park, or his protectiveness of his daughter and those he cares about. This series is saturated with behavioural contradictions which makes it a very engaging watch. Awesome reactions. John Pouw, New Zealand.
I think i wrote this comment many times on the situation. In hindsight, the correct thing for Ray to do was to confront the brother and call him out as soon as he took the candle. If he refused to give it back, take Brit and leave the party. That way the family are assholes by complacency and he has done the correct thing.
Her's a bit of trivia for you.. The brother who he punches out is Nash Edgerton.. the Director of Mr In-between and the Magician . Also, In real Life Ally used to be in a DV relationship (with another actor) .. Maybe why it was a hard hitting episode for anyone that knows her history..
I told my kids Joel and I were once flatmates. Joel and I were born in the same maternity ward in Blacktown hospital Sydney a few hours apart 😂@@TheLukieBoi1
@@TheLukieBoi1 Step Father. Married to Nika's (Brittany) mother, not her Father. They were having trouble casting the character of Brittany, it was Nika's mother that suggested that Nash put her in to the Auditions.
That's why Brooke Satchwell also plays a juror divorcee to a violent ex in another drama. There's something about her eyes, demeanor and realism I always really liked. She's also very pretty
You have to remember, at Christmas time, Ray threw his woman's brother through a plate glass window because he thought the gift that he had stolen from his daughter was "kitschy" The brother, by the way, is actually the director of all these fine, Mr. in-between shows, named Nash Edgerton and Ray's on-screen daughter Brittany is Edgerton's real-life daughter played by Chika Yasumura. Hope that made sense. 😊😊🙏🙏
Fun fact, Ray's mate/boss Freddy played Charles Manson briefly seen in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and for an episode in Mindhunter. Completely unrecognizable.
Freddy has got a lot of good roles under his belt. I first noticed and liked him when I watched Justified and was really surprised to find out he was an aussie.
Now that you have seen this episode, the second one, ep 5 the one after the first one :-) Brooke Satchwell (Ally) speaking about the abusive relationship etc, very much I believe from what I have read elsewhere is a small snap shot of her own real life relationship with another reasonably well known Aussie actor Matt Newton and a lot of this including convictions are in the public domain. I remember seeing Brooke being Ally through this and wondered firstly why she would enter a role like this not that long after her own personal experience and then secondly how she would react in the role. She did great.
The clue is in the name of the show, "Mr Inbetween" he between the old world and the new world. His behaviour would be reasonably accepted in the old world, now it's not. Like his meeting with the counsellor, he was explaining why violence is good etc, well in the old school it most certainly was to a degree, now it's not at all. So he is somewhere in-between those worlds. Well that's how it comes across to me.
The ''real'' unicorn was one of my favorite parts of these episodes, so cute, but also very funny, with ''Gary'' hiding in the bushes, totally covered with glitter and (too bad didn't saw your reaction) when he couldn't take the alicorn off (probably glued with superglue hahahaha!).
The woman playing Ray's ex-wife is Nat Tran (i.e. communitychannel) - was one of the biggest Aussie TH-camrs of the 00's. Still got one and a half mil subs.
I can understand her not taking the chance. It sucks for Ray though because hit a woman is obviously (from the viewer's perspective) not part of his software I still think the relationship would have ended with some horrific act of violence though. Either someone trying to get Ray hurting her or some other incident happening, someone being rude or abusive to her and him doing them major harm in front of her.
Hey Chrissie great reaction! It is so well written that you could watch them out of order and episode 6 would give you a hook that you just had to know what caused the breakup. I felt so bad for them as a couple but this is the beauty of the life contradictions we see. He was totally wrong for throwing him out of the window but every father out there who has a little girl for a brief reactionary moment said good but it was at a steep price. From child bullying to domestic violence we see the world through Ray's eyes in this journey and it is by no means perfect which is the secret sauce! Don't know if I can wait another week may have to pull the trigger on a membership!🤣
I think Ray does have a hold of his emotions, he's weirdly suppressed there. I don't think he's at all emotional in a lot of his violent responses (that's the problem though). The violence is (often) just how he problem solves - the guys in the car park, one got out, the other would likely follow (at least in Ray's mind), Ray saw a likely escalation and "solved" it. Xmas was definitely emotional, but involved someone outright being a dick to a kid (his kid). What I thought was very interesting was Ray's response to his gf, no challenging her decision, he just respected it and my heart kinda broke for both of them there. Ray's likely a sociopath and I think Autism spectrum too. So, the series is written by the actor that plays Ray and he's definitely spent enough time around underworld people to pick up and believably write about them. It's all in the details with this show, which links me back to how I think Ray's character might be on the spectrum due to how he is around food and some cultural black holes that he has (although that could also be due to prison time).
I don't think red flags apply to trained hit men. The fact that she doesn't know that he is what he is, is the red flag that trumps the other. I think this is important to realise, because if Ray can control his power, he wouldn't hit a woman, he can control his emotions, in a black and white logical way. He has stated he can not tolerate a holes. I think if Ali, knew he was a hit man and the discipline he puts on himself to be a good one, she would know that he would not hit her, but then she would have to accept that he's killing a lot of people..the relationship would never have gone long term, probably best that it ended this way.
I think they tried to portray that the car with the two guys was blocking the exit or something. If Ray could ignored them or just waited a little to have them move, he probably had.
Yeah, took me ages to convince my girlfriend to watch it with me. Anything with a hint of violence and she won't watch it. Still haven't been able to get her to watch the greatest movie of all time, Fight Club. Finally got my girlfriend to watch Mr. Inbetween and she loved it!
@@beardymcbeardface69 Perhaps she'll read the book Fight Club? The author Chuck Palahniuk is fantastic and his other books follow similar twists and turns. I highly recommend "Lullaby" and "Choke"
No problem Chrissie :) mixed episodes are cool :) I think Ray kind of ppl never hurts a woman even they drowning in violent world. Some girls feel that and take the risk for being with these men. The question is how we gonna know they never gonna hit their girlfriends? Maybe the keyword is control. Ray is a very selfcontrolled person. Also he knows what love is. Violant men mostly havent got learned the love and mercy in their childhood. If I were in Ray's situation and my gf's bro was being rude to my daughter like that, I would expect that my gf wouldn't be silence like that. I would expect that everyone would shut the party and being isolated that person who broke a child's heart. Not fair that Ally ignores the facts and dumbs Ray.
Totally understand why she walked away We, the audience know he would never hurt her. It's one of his few red lines not to cross is women and children (wait till you get to the child abduction episode jesus!) But she doesn't know that. All she sees is violence and what happened to her before. Her brother was a total dick... he even had the man bun! But Ray went way over the top. Christmas day, with his child there, in front of her family. And that's his best behaviour!? 😂
There's so many people that I have wanted to send through a glass door like that. Never acted upon that emotion. But sometimes I wish I had. People who actively seek to do you harm via politically correct methods, and remain unaccountable, need a wake up call.
I feel the same: that you wouldn't think wanting your unborn child, and her mother, killed to cover your infidelity wasn't the crazy part. Maybe you find yourself identifying with the philanderer?
Blackmail? She's pregnant. It's past hiding from the wife. It's not just an affair anymore, she's the mother of his child. And in any case, he needs to pay child support if he's not willing to raise the child. And as Ray found out, she was never asking for 2million. Mate, you are way off here, maybe revisit the facts of this situation again and think about them a little more.
I Totally agree. As a man I see 2 men cursing at me, getting out of a truck, and beginning to aggressively walk towards me, to do God knows what to me and my girlfriend as "violence being thrust upon me". And as a man, I know that if a confrontation is imminent, making the initial move is beneficial to being successful in defending myself and my girlfriend. That's how our minds work, and are supposed to work as protectors. I don't see it as Ray who initiated the confrontation. But he was successful in defending her and himself. Everyone survived the altercation. May not be the case if he didn't react the way he did. Or maybe they would've all become best friends and lived happily ever after.
@@jeremybrinlee1965100% agree, I find her attitude confusing, does she expect you to wait to be hit before protecting yourself and your partner. Not all people who act like arseholes should be hit, but if you act like an dick, are verbally abusive then get out of car and storm towards me then what ray did was the minimum justified response imo
The discourse about violence this show brings up is really interesting. Personally, I find it scary how many people secretly think it’s all ok, and would settle slights with violence it if only they thought they could get away with it. I love the show, but Ray is not a role model in his approach. The amount of irony in saying WORLD WAR 2 of all things was an example of good violence is unbelievable. So much cool stuff ahead, looking forward to more episodes!
I understand all former victims. Nothing you can do if a guy tosses an asshole through a window. (Brother was an asshole, but you have family, right?) If you wreck some brother, you lose his sister. But you step out of your car threateningly to Ray, you get wrecked.
It's always understandable why Ray does what he does. And the events are framed in such a way as to even make them sympathetic. But it's never ever right when he handles a situation with violence, unless he's genuinely defending himself or his close ones. We know, because we're in his head and it's a show, that Ray would never hurt his lady or his daughter. But it's also entirely understandable that no one else in the world of the show would believe that.
😂 That's crazy I did the same thing when I watched this show. I didn't realize my Playstation had changed the viewing order by alphabetical instead of numerical ended up watching the finale as episode 2 😂 didn't realize until 3 episodes later
You were spot on, with your red flag. Violence is never the answer. I like all the juxtaposition is shown in so many different ways, like Ray the murderer being unable to lie to his daughter about small things. How fascinating how well these eps worked in the wrong order. I think the counsellor is kind of crap at his job, but I don't think thats inaccurate to the kind of mental health support you get for court-ordered classes sometimes in Australia, its pretty woefully underfunded in Aus and NZ, although he is a bit confrontational for what is a room full of violent guys and not very good at reading social cues, and that's all intentionally written to be this way. Some of the side charachters are famous Australian TV actors, playing roles completely unlike their famous roles, this show is great is displaying some really talented actors playing completely against type.
@@pepeleperth I don’t disagree with that (that Netflix’s screwed you as it could have been a show that continues on). But in this case you were lucky and it’s one of the only shows that you can get away with it. My mate literally just watched random episodes of BM based on what he thought sounded good.
Hi Chrissie, just subscribed cos you deserve it. You asked regarding Bond movies wether you should start at the latest and go back or do a chronological run through. May I humbly suggest if you are going to do Bond you read a little of how the author saw/created him. No-one likes reading anymore but fortunately there's a few short stories written by Fleming which flesh out the character perfectly then you can reference that against how different actors and directors have portrayed him. I recommend The living Daylights, Octopussy and The property of a Lady at the very least - all short, less than an hours read but totally flesh out the character including backstory. Then watch chronologically. I hope this was helpful.
I was talking to a woman, getting interested in her, then she tells me about how she was fooling around with a married guy, then somehow got his medical licence suspended for having an affair with a patient. I'm sure his 8 kids and wife were thrilled.
That is so funny…I also skipped the unicorn candle episode by mistake I think it’s the way they were listed? I recently binge watched the whole show, (I’d seen it before when it first came out 2018) As an Australian, I can say that the dialogue and mannerisms are spot on An excellent series! Have a look at The Secret Life of Us which stars Joel Edgerton, brother of Nash…another superb series, nothing like Mr. Inbetween though
If he didn't get out of the car then would have been humiliated in front of his girlfriend and that's not acceptable to a man. I know you're going to say that a real man doesn't care but that's not the case . It'll eat him up inside.😊
Or 6&5 considering the order she reacted in, no blame but such a shame to miss out on the order of events leading up to the christmas party and relationship end
his ex wife in the show is also a youtuber named communitychannel she hasnt posted in a few years but it was trippy seeing her in this she was the "Australian Queen of TH-cam" back in the day
yeah still dont agree judging him on the car scene. the guys who sit in the car and do nothing are also the most unreliable when your family or you need protection... women do not understand until its needed which hopefully never is. he shouldnt have assulted her brother though. That was lack of control. i tollorate zero shit and in 40 yrs i have never showed violence to any women including my wife of 16 years. ive flogged plenty of people that have tried to intimidate my family or friends. its funny how I have been judged sometimes but im also the person people feel safe with when a wierdo in the city is trying to harras them because i take care of business. there is a line. the car scene was not it. the brother was though, u dont do that over a bloody unicorn u go to the shops and find a similar one and suprise her with it the next day.
One small thing I noticed in the script, Ray's mate, the bikie president said "I gotta go see my folks". An Australian would never refer to their parents as "folks", more particularly a person of his age.
Watching episodes out of order can be a fun little meta game, every movie becomes a prequel if you watch the sequel first The guys who think rays the good guy are the same silly heads who root for the joker or Tyler durdan
If the man's story was accurate, and the woman was blackmailing him - two million dollars or I destroy your life? There are things a person cannot do, must not do. Blackmail is one of them. How can you not agree?
As far as I see this, Ray is a psychopath. We have been shown his just/admirable side as a set up for that to be eroded by the fact that his decisions are all just guided by his lack of empathy for anyone. If he is in any way a "good guy" then maybe start mixing in different circles.
Ray is a good person who does bad things. He's clearly a traumatised man due to his stint in the army so he's going to have some misguided morals. He doesn't do evil things to good people who don't deserve it, he only hurts evil people so you can't say he's an evil person he's just not a saint
In this instalment, we saw Ray turn on a paying customer, because he felt empathy for a young Mother-to-be. I think Ray is way too complex and caring to be summed up as a psychopath.
I don't know if it's been mentioned in prior comments, but the girl playing his daughter in the show is actually his daughter in real life...I always admired how comfortable she was dealing with the main character.
Hi, I've only just found your channel. Your reaction to 'once were warriors' persuaded me to subscribe lol. I would like to make a recommendation it's an English film, it's a frighteningly realistic portrayal of life on South Londons estates in the late 80s early 90s, it has some very well known actors like Ray Winstone, Charlie creed Miles, Kathy Burke and more, the title of the film is 'Nil by mouth'.

It's always understandable why Ray does what he does. And the events are framed in such a way as to even make them sympathetic. But it's never ever right when he handles a situation with violence, unless he's genuinely defending himself or his close ones. We know, because we're in his head and it's a show, that Ray would never hurt his lady or his daughter. But it's also entirely understandable that no one else in the world of the show would believe that.
💯
ray would never hit a woman
Shes getting really involved. Its going to be tough on her when she sees it. Just goes to show what a good show it is and how good the actors are.
😂 That's crazy I did the same thing when I watched this show. I didn't realize my Playstation had changed the viewing order by alphabetical instead of numerical ended up watching the finale as episode 2 😂 didn't realize until 3 episodes later
That top suits you. Also - boy you got lucky in that as you say, the episodes could almost have been played in that order anyways.
Yes, he lacks impulse control..
I remember once finding a fifty between the couch cushions and then saying, "Let's get some Chinese!"
lol cool story bro
@@OttoGrainer27 And then everybody clapped!
LOL
A succulent Chinese meal?
@@terryallen345 GET YOUR HAND OFF MY P!
The guy that swapped the unicorn it’s actually his daughter in real life
You were spot on, with your red flag. Violence is never the answer.
I like all the juxtaposition is shown in so many different ways, like Ray the murderer being unable to lie to his daughter about small things.
How fascinating how well these eps worked in the wrong order.
I think the counsellor is kind of crap at his job, but I don't think thats inaccurate to the kind of mental health support you get for court-ordered classes sometimes in Australia, its pretty woefully underfunded in Aus and NZ, although he is a bit confrontational for what is a room full of violent guys and not very good at reading social cues, and that's all intentionally written to be this way.
Some of the side charachters are famous Australian TV actors, playing roles completely unlike their famous roles, this show is great is displaying some really talented actors playing completely against type.
Except for WW2
I loved that you did that , ahh i did the same with black mirror, as the show was so nutsy it took me three episodes to realise haha
Black mirror is all individual episodes though. Not a continuing storyline. You can watch them in any season or episode order that you want.
@skyliner967 starting another season midway through, regardless is annoying AF. netflix next episode did me dirty
@@pepeleperth I don’t disagree with that (that Netflix’s screwed you as it could have been a show that continues on). But in this case you were lucky and it’s one of the only shows that you can get away with it. My mate literally just watched random episodes of BM based on what he thought sounded good.
Brooke Satchwell, the actress playing the girlfriend really did live that story bout the fiance who bashed her.
Matthew Newton wasn't it?
@@BirtMyep
The guy he kicked through the windows was Nash Edgerton the director.
He is also Brittany's father and Joel Edgerton's brother.
Nice fact, I didn't recognise him
@@davidburnett93 I only know from you tube but when you know you see it eh
Who worked as a stuntman for years in Hollywood, sometimes for his brother Joel, before becoming a director.
Hurry up & get the next review out. I've seen this series already but I just can't get enough.
Hi Chrissie, just subscribed cos you deserve it.
You asked regarding Bond movies wether you should start at the latest and go back or do a chronological run through.
May I humbly suggest if you are going to do Bond you read a little of how the author saw/created him.
No-one likes reading anymore but fortunately there's a few short stories written by Fleming which flesh out the character perfectly then you can reference that against how different actors and directors have portrayed him.
I recommend The living Daylights, Octopussy and The property of a Lady at the very least - all short, less than an hours read but totally flesh out the character including backstory.
Then watch chronologically.
I hope this was helpful.
Excited to see the rest of the season in order now 😅
The new brother in law should have been put under a kenworth, not through a window.
Looking very bright & glam today!
Ironic that the actresses- Brooke Satchwell went through a very public situation with DV. She was acting from experience
Episode 5 is the relationship turmoil. Episode 6 is the bathroom clean out intro
I was hoping to see your reaction to the xmas kerfuffle
I was talking to a woman, getting interested in her, then she tells me about how she was fooling around with a married guy, then somehow got his medical licence suspended for having an affair with a patient. I'm sure his 8 kids and wife were thrilled.
He f*cked around and found out!
That is so funny…I also skipped the unicorn candle episode by mistake
I think it’s the way they were listed?
I recently binge watched the whole show, (I’d seen it before when it first came out 2018)
As an Australian, I can say that the dialogue and mannerisms are spot on
An excellent series!
Have a look at The Secret Life of Us which stars Joel Edgerton, brother of Nash…another superb series, nothing like Mr. Inbetween though
13:47 Best. Dad. EVER.
If he didn't get out of the car then would have been humiliated in front of his girlfriend and that's not acceptable to a man. I know you're going to say that a real man doesn't care but that's not the case . It'll eat him up inside.😊
100% Would be nice if I could be stronger and not feel the need to say or do something, but I'd be fuming with myself if I just quietly drove off.
Best Dad , 🦄
you need to change the title of your video to 5&6 instead of 4&6
Or 6&5 considering the order she reacted in, no blame but such a shame to miss out on the order of events leading up to the christmas party and relationship end
Episode 4 was awesome. Thank you. Love your narration
Bert Newton's son hit her in real life they were engaged
Wait till the next couple of episodes... can't wait to watch them with you
I went back to your last video I thought I missed the scene when they broke up
Bad time for Ray to quit smoking.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
another great video thanks:] its nice when you find youtubers who are on the same page as you.
No she wants 2 million dollars to not tell the wife. Big difference
Lol no she doesn't 😅 he made that up
Just another great Aussie show
If looking for a laugh look up swift and shift and Paul Fench
his ex wife in the show is also a youtuber named communitychannel she hasnt posted in a few years but it was trippy seeing her in this she was the "Australian Queen of TH-cam" back in the day
yeah still dont agree judging him on the car scene. the guys who sit in the car and do nothing are also the most unreliable when your family or you need protection... women do not understand until its needed which hopefully never is. he shouldnt have assulted her brother though. That was lack of control. i tollorate zero shit and in 40 yrs i have never showed violence to any women including my wife of 16 years. ive flogged plenty of people that have tried to intimidate my family or friends. its funny how I have been judged sometimes but im also the person people feel safe with when a wierdo in the city is trying to harras them because i take care of business. there is a line. the car scene was not it. the brother was though, u dont do that over a bloody unicorn u go to the shops and find a similar one and suprise her with it the next day.
Bring on the 'Vagankle' ........ 🦶 ....... lol ...... 🤣
Arent the episode in the wrong order?.
Bout time 🤣 been waiting to watch it with you 😉
Yeah, that's heavy.😢
American history x
Crocodile Dundee
Romper stomper
This guy was a ruthless biker gang leader? He has the demeanor of a guidance counselor. Totally incoherent casting on this one character.
This is normal behaviour. The biker understands that Ray is hard on another level completely.
think im crushing on you, only jus realised 😊😘 Love this series, the last episode of season 2 is awesome, cant wait to see ur review 🇦🇺
Best show ever
One small thing I noticed in the script, Ray's mate, the bikie president said "I gotta go see my folks". An Australian would never refer to their parents as "folks", more particularly a person of his age.
Best show ever, best reactions too. Jeg elsker dig!
And you labelled it wrong too. should be 6 & 5, not 4 & 6. :)
Love your reactions though.
Does it really matter that much?
@@OldschoolTruths I put a smile there, so no, not really. Just pointing it out for her to fix. Doesn't truth matter to you anymore?
@OldschoolTruths it doesn't but yet here you are
Grow up!@@petethundabox5067
Silly goose!
Watching episodes out of order can be a fun little meta game, every movie becomes a prequel if you watch the sequel first
The guys who think rays the good guy are the same silly heads who root for the joker or Tyler durdan
LOVE IT
um the episodes are out of order.
If the man's story was accurate, and the woman was blackmailing him - two million dollars or I destroy your life? There are things a person cannot do, must not do. Blackmail is one of them. How can you not agree?
❤️🖤❤️🖤🌷🌷
As far as I see this, Ray is a psychopath. We have been shown his just/admirable side as a set up for that to be eroded by the fact that his decisions are all just guided by his lack of empathy for anyone. If he is in any way a "good guy" then maybe start mixing in different circles.
Ray is a good person who does bad things. He's clearly a traumatised man due to his stint in the army so he's going to have some misguided morals. He doesn't do evil things to good people who don't deserve it, he only hurts evil people so you can't say he's an evil person he's just not a saint
In this instalment, we saw Ray turn on a paying customer, because he felt empathy for a young Mother-to-be.
I think Ray is way too complex and caring to be summed up as a psychopath.
Its a TV show Chrissie just a TV show.
A TV show that is in no way based on anything any of us could recognise from our own lives, right?
Definitely in no way thought provoking at all! LOL
I don't know if it's been mentioned in prior comments, but the girl playing his daughter in the show is actually his daughter in real life...I always admired how comfortable she was dealing with the main character.
I thought it was Nash Edgerton's daughter?
@@normcummins2719 Yes, Chika Yasumura, who plays Brittany is Nash Edgerton's daughter.
Hi, I've only just found your channel. Your reaction to 'once were warriors' persuaded me to subscribe lol. I would like to make a recommendation it's an English film, it's a frighteningly realistic portrayal of life on South Londons estates in the late 80s early 90s, it has some very well known actors like Ray Winstone, Charlie creed Miles, Kathy Burke and more, the title of the film is 'Nil by mouth'. Please consider it.
