Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

grantss (Review updated after 2018 season).If you know Shaun Micallef's previous work - The Micallef Program/Programme/Pogram, Newstopia plus his work on Full Frontal - you'll know what to expect. Clever dialogue-driven comedy, where every word matters and the joke often hinges on a single word. Throw in some Pythonesque left-field randomness and there you have his modus operandi. Now put that in a fake newscast environment (a la The Colbert Report) and any item of news is a source for comedy. Very intelligent comedy...with a touch of the absurd throw in.This was, until about 2016/17. At a point Micallef either got reminded by ABC senior management that the ABC is in the Liberal-bashing business or he himself decided to pander to the average ABC viewer. From then on, instead of being clever, politically-neutral satire the show became clearly left-wing and the originality went out of it, being reduced to empty, tiresome, predictable jibes.I got through 10 minutes of the 2018 season before giving up.9/10 for the first 5-6 seasons, 3/10 thereafter.

the_whitehawk I recently saw the premiere of Shaun Micallef's return to the ABC.Shaun is in his element in this show. His opening bit was hilarious. I laughed so hard I often had to rewind it to hear the next joke.I am thrilled to see Francis Greenslade and Roz Hammond return to working with Shaun. I like the new additions to the team as well.To a degree the show reminded me of 'The Colbert Report'and 'The Daily Show', with fake interviews but more sketches. It works well. I'm a fan of Colbert but as an Australian I often find myself wanting a show lampooning Australian news and politics.If you liked 'Newstopia' then you'll enjoy this show.'MAD AS' IS THE SHOW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Thank You Shaun and Co.
