pretty good. not hard too take the piss out of juulia with a nose like a witch and talks like a educated bogan,she should have been called mercedes gillard
I cringed, start to finish. A steaming rancid pile of cack. "Hey dad" had better acting and "Houseboat horror" had a better script. More annoying than "the Librarians"......one star.
It wasn't a bad show. A bit of satire can be funny. Julia did not come too bad out of it. The three amigos are the ones who probably dislike it more than anyone else along with ALP MPs.
Why be an ALP MP? Your opinion or voice doesn't matter. Meanwhile the independents can tell Julia what time they are coming round for dinner.

Sheeessshhh loggy...
We know you love the labs. Based on the comment above, can we assume you work as a librarian
I think the librarians is brilliant. Frances O'Brien is soooo close to reality...
I thought it was hilarious, best show I have seen in a long time. I just loved the way "acting" Julia mimicked "real" Julias big bum waddle. I reckon it will lift the current PM's approval rating as you can't help feeling great sympathy for her inability to organise her nookie time with Tom. or is that Tim! Four and a half stars from me.

Geez you guys are easily pleased, shows like this need to develop characters not characitures. Characters come from good writing and sensitive actors. Is it "the Office? is it "wilfred"? is it "Arrested development"?. No its Hey dad with funny voices. Australian produces need to realize that audiences judge Australian shows against the best the world has got not just what this country produces. Yeah and its not because of my undying love for all things commy that i hate this show. If the show was about the little rodent I would still hate it .

I finally caught the first two episodes online. I ranged from rolling on the floor laughing, to cringing at how accurately it portrays the incompetent federal govt we are lumbered with.

Funniest show since early Kath & Kim :-)
Poods
I caught episode #3 last night. Thought it was again pretty good.
WRG to the "flag" incident we know Bill Clinton did it in the oval office with all and sundry. Going back a few years one of the Lab. ministers Evans? got sprung as well. If past and current Prime Ministers don't make use of the perks in the office then they really don't deserve to be P.M. of our beloved country. And Logman you wont have any idea of what is going on because surely you didn't stoop to watch it again.
Funnier than I thought, but I don't believe that tripe should be put out by the ABC.
It is a character assasination, not a comedy show.
Political satire should be about the statements people make, the contridictions in their policies and the decisions they take. It should not be about their personality or character.
Last night's episode ending scene was a sad and lonely Julia crying on the floor of her kitchen, brought about by her own personality. It leaves an impression in the mind of the viewer as to the nature of the person, that is not necessarily true but sure to influence the polical opinion.
By having a show that has one politican as its lead is disproportionate and politically one sided. Spitting Image and Dawes and ... (Brian whats he called) have 3 minute sketches equal over the political spectrum. 'At home with' has 30 second cameos from others and 30 minutes of character assasination of one person.
Don't get me wrong, I think Julia is a useless PM, but I don't think my tax money should be spent making this sort of 'entertainment'. I am sure many manical dictators have represented the character and personality of their opponents in a less sordid way.
It apears to me to come down to the fact that the ABC and the shows writers are too dumb to work out the difference between Kath and Kim style soap opera fiction and political satire.
They should stick to low brow, pop culture, bland entertainment of the poorest quality for the dumbest masses and stay away from anything that requires intelligence to broadcast. But I guess then it would be called 'today tonight with Julia'
The problem with the show and most Aussie comedies is we've seen the best from around the world and it doesn't cut it to just cut it to say it's ours and therefore lets barrack for it. We've seen "yes minister" and "Fawlty towers" so we know what great comedy writing is, we've seen "arrested development" and "the Allan Partridge show , so we know what good characters are like. So there's the bar, it gets raised now and then and when shows miss the mark they should cop it. As for the PM being a tabboo subject, naahh, give it to her, both barrels, only the gun is a pop gun.
No problem giving to the PM, or any other politician, criticism is an important part of a democracy and humour and satire is an important part of life.
But there is a line somewhere between deriving humour from a persons own character, beliefs, religion, sexual orientation, ability etc. as opposed to their actions in public office.
For sure ridicule and satarise Julia. But mocking her for her decision not to marry, just seems character assassination of a biased polical type. If, for example, she publically and politically criticised couples living together out of wedlock (as say the church does) and then lives out of wedlock herself, then for sure lay it into her.
But for the ABC, a publically funded a-political organisation that has one-sided legal protections for what it says and does, portraying her as a lonely and sad figure sobbing on her kitchen floor for failing to manage a relationship, just doesn't seem right to me.
Funny maybe, but not right.
Let's have a comedy show mocking disabled children's dreams and aspirations. Some may also find it funny, but it is not necessarily right. - oh wait the ABC put that out as well.
But yes, even ignoring the above, compared to say Spitting Image or Clark and Dawes I though it was very poor quality writing and producing.
ya took it seriously.
