I’m away this weekend, so I thought, since there isn’t
anything else to give you, that I would do a little plugging.
Here in Australia we have this great little comedian called
Josh Thomas. He is awesome, like, funny and shit. And he has created a little,
6 episode TV show on ABC2 which airs on Thursday at 9:30pm
Now, it’s a sitcom type TV show, with his wit and humour, and
it rocks something chronic. It also is about Josh and his lover Geoffrey…
First up the shows called Please Like Me
And, well, here’s what it’s about:
Written by and
starring Australia’s favourite young comedian, Josh Thomas, the uniquely honest
comedy/drama series PLEASE LIKE ME kicks off on ABC2 with a double episode.
With his
21st birthday just around the corner, life finally seems to be coming together
for Josh (Josh Thomas). He's sharing a house with his best (and only) friend,
Tom (Tom Ward), his dog, John, and Tom's rabbit, $haniqua, and he’s doing adult
things like cooking roast chickens and eating asparagus.
But the
events of one day throw his world into chaos. He’s dumped by his girlfriend,
Claire (Caitlin Stasey), and introduced to a decidedly odd but very attractive
man, Geoffrey (Wade Briggs). And when his divorced mum, Rose (Debra Lawrance),
overdoses on pain killers, Josh is forced to move back into the family home to
keep an eye on her. If that's not enough, he has to deal with his dad Alan’s
(David Roberts) guilt over his ex-wife and clumsy attempts to hide his new,
younger girlfriend, Mae (Renee Lim). It’s all a bit more than Josh had planned
for – which was just to plate up a tasty dinner.
All of a
sudden it seems as though everyone’s lives are in disarray and Josh is at the
centre of it all. For someone with an aversion to confrontation, drama and
emotion in general, there are some big challenges ahead for Josh – challenges
he can only deal with in his own awkward, self-centred, and always hilariously
frank way.
Based on
the award-winning comedy of Josh Thomas, the six-part series PLEASE LIKE ME is
about cavoodles, custard tarts, boyfriends and girlfriends. Mostly, though,
it's about growing up quickly and realising that your parents are not heroes,
but big dopes with no idea what’s going on – just like you.
There are apparently only 6 episodes…
Rhubarb and Custard (watch here)
When
Josh's girlfriend, Claire, dumps him and tells him she's pretty sure he's gay,
he's mostly worried that the sundae for two that's just arrived at their table
is suddenly pretty humiliating.
French Toast (watch here)
Josh's
dad, Alan, is so convinced that he's responsible for his ex-wife’s predicament
that he insists on dropping his younger girlfriend Mae at the corner store
before visiting Josh at the family home, in case he upsets Rose.
Portuguese Custard Tarts (watch here)
When
the God-fearing Aunty Peg catches Josh and Geoffrey making out, she wastes no
time blackmailing Josh into going to church with her.
All You Can
Eat (watch here)
Josh has
decided that Geoffrey is just too intense for him and has broken up with him.
… and I’d love for there to be more—hence this little plug I’m
doing. So watch it, if you can, please.
If you have, or when you have, I’d love to hear what you
thought on it. But still. It’s great, and I really love it, so much so that I
can’t really say anything ‘cause it’s all messed up in my head.
Josh's date with Geoffrey is awesome... the dinner with Tom and Claire when Tom brakes up with his girfriend... Geoffrey & Josh's dad talk about Josh being gay... Josh's aunt finding out... Tom spending twenty mins drawing a pick of Josh sucking his dick.... his dad buying a new car--this one goes on for a few eps... this....
'wait...what are you doing?'
'I just like it better when your shirts off.'
Just watch it, you’ll understand.
