I feel sorry for the actor who played the grown up Eli. Must’ve been hard for him and pick up the final parts of the story. Props to him though because he did a great job 👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🥊🥊
I agree it was hard to see young Eli go but young adult Eli crushed it. Everything about the show was brilliant especially the writing and acting/casting
Love, love, loveeeeeed this series! The actors were outstanding and as an 80’s teen this brought back such memories, nostalgia and very raw emotions! Thank you to the author for writing something so heartfelt.. 💓🙏🌹 0:20
This is my all time favorite storytelling. The cast, crew, time period are so creative and brilliant. I’m 72. I’m experiencing some health issues. When I need encouragement, I turn to this series to inspire me. Thank you so very much 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I absolutely loved the book and binged the series, loved it too. As a writer, my dream is to see my book made into a film. Huge congratulations to Trent Dalton. Wow.
my best friend had about 26 different meanings for the F bomb...and you knew what she meant by the placement in the sentence and the way she said it at the time. I felt right at home with this dialog!
Yep, the "warm up the Datsun" got an out loud laugh from me. Fucken Classic! 😆 What a totally brilliant & absorbing series! Laughed,cried & was fully engrossed. The authenticity of sets,language etc was spot on. The cast & acting by all was superb! The music score was classic stuff too. Easy 9/10 from this Gen X 👍👍👍
@@sandgroperwookiee65Datsun was a popular car back then so they had to warm it up to make sure when they wanted to drive it was ready - they had to get the carby (carburettor) going and warmed up to let it start :)
Great series Im loving it so far. I grew up in Sydney in the 80s but in the westie part of town so I can relate to the language and the dero culture. Also the Vietnamese attitude at the time towards Aussies. I recall a lot of kids my age who were houso kids had a drop-kick step dad who was dealing drugs or a crim. haha and the swearing was on point. I hardly swear these days so I was "clutching my pearls" at first but then i remembered vividly how swearing was everywhere growing up, especially with teen boys Elis age. F'ken oath.
Thank you so much for this show/book. I cried a lot. I loved every character, even the shitheads lol, and this show is going to win awards. Absolutely a must see. Best cast. Love you, Ragnar 😊😂😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Where some of the hospital scenes were filmed, the spiral ramp, was the place where we used to visit my Big Nana as a kid. So many memories flooded back. Big nan always had hard boiled lollies in her bedside for us. She had dementia & would be going on about how Roman from Days of Our Lives had been to visit & how in love they were. 😂
For me Gus stole the show! His portrayal of an odd outsider was nothing short of SPECTACULAR! What a brilliant actor! Mind you the whole cast were brilliant, whoever did the casting was spot on!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mum read the book before it came out and was like this is where I grew up! I worked at this Chinese shop, We did this rararaa as if we could imagine it and then the show came out! 😂😢❤👌🏼
Omg so many thing I recognised from my teenage years. Loved it so much, made me cry , made me laugh, made me think and the best part, no woke political stuff being shoved done my throat, well done to all involved .
Great show. Felix Cameron who plays the young boy that is the main protagonist, in which his character narrates the film steals the show. Travis is not in the movie a whole lot and it's obviously they are using him for his celebrity status to promote the show.
I'm from Brisbane, the swearing seemed normal to me. No issue there, but I picked up a few errors, the RBH shot was not the RBH, mother's wardrobe was not 70s, the magpies should have been butcher birds and kookaburras, and we never said shits and giggles. Also, we had no africans in Brisbane then, the asians were chinese hard workers. We had the white Australia policy til 73. Great show, very addictive, sad it finished, loved the cars.
3:05 It takes 20 seconds to ask a generalised question about 'overarching themes'. If it's an overarching theme, it should be quite clear. Or, Travis Fimmel was just a bit tuckered out or maybe his seat was uncomfy or anything else that's possible. Aside from that, I thought the interviewer was charming, brings light, and was presented really well! Anyway, absolutely phenomenal show!!!! :D
very good interview, I'm anxiously waiting for the premiere on Netflix, I love Travis, I've seen all his movies, Travis is always so handsome
Thank you!

I agree. Both actors who played Eli were fantastic. Huge shoes to fill but old Eli did it beautifully and seamlessly. Best drama I've ever watched.
@@clairephillips4688 and no one is talking about him. Poor fella.

He killed it as well! All of the actors of this serie are seriously awesome!
Yeah, when older Eli shouts at Teddy out of the window it cemented he was a fantastic replacement 😂😂

Felix & Zac both were amazing in this series. Wanted to protect them so badly 😭❤️ almost precious

this is how the 80 in houso really was it's the absolute best snap shot of how life was for me and australian kids int the 80s housing commission life
100% agree

This was a awesome watch i enjoyed every bit of it
What an awesome serie! I'm still thrilled by it.
The kid playing Eli was phenomenal.
Mum read the book before it came out and was like this is where I grew up! I worked at this Chinese shop, We did this rararaa as if we could imagine it and then the show came out! 😂😢❤👌🏼
I loved every second of this series.
Loved this show so much...so many memories...awesome job everyone 💜👍
Just found out about that show. I really need to watch it. I can use some hope and all that right now.
Hope you’re doing ok pal
Great show. I was amazed at how good the Viking guy was at an Aussie accent lol.
He's Australian 😂
What...
@@lorrenn182 yeah, I had no idea
Love the series from Thailand ❤
Every episode brought tears & Laughter 😂 it sent me right back to my childhood in the 80’s 🔥 🔥 🔥
Amazing Aussie series
We want Ragnar back.
Omg so many thing I recognised from my teenage years. Loved it so much, made me cry , made me laugh, made me think and the best part, no woke political stuff being shoved done my throat, well done to all involved .
Fantastic series!
Talking about an australian show, and of course, travis has his feet out. a true australian.
I seen him wit shoes one time ever in life that’s on Mike and l
Kelly and he was wearing two different pairs
Love this interview. But especially the interviewer! ❤
Haha! Thank you!
I fell in love with all that paper cash. Was that real or fake?
@cognitivedissident9825 - Australian money is very colourful. I’m an Aussie and it looked real to me!
@@reefprayerresin yeah that's what I mean. It's plastic now but growing up in the 80s it was paper.
Tomorrow cash will be gone forever :(
@@cognitivedissident9825 - Oh good point - I forgot it was once paper! 😂

l love it 😊
Grande attore, bellissimo modello.... peccato non poter toccare con mano 😅❤

White Australia policy!?
@@johnwerner69yep, we have a shameful history.
@@zanyzana66 If our history is the metric for shameful then its pretty tame by the the rest of the worlds standards lol
There were plenty of Vietnamese in Darra in the 1980's? It's what Darra is famous for culturally
Travis = Miguel (el doraldo)
Bargain the souls for fame , power and fortune is not worth it.
Dad get out of Travis and get back on the dad timeline
Terrible, boring obviously not enough Travis Fimmel. He's way too big for this show. Just awful.
Weak insight, or at least poor articulation thereof.
The interviewer is beyond irritating
Why?
3:05 It takes 20 seconds to ask a generalised question about 'overarching themes'. If it's an overarching theme, it should be quite clear.

Love this series ❤ best ever
