Season 2 of the delightful Aussie sitcom—a true streaming hidden gem—once again provides an antidote to the formulaic slop that has given the genre a bad name.
We’re in an era where audiences are so starved for romantic comedy outside of cutter-cookie Hallmark schmaltzfests and algorithmic Netflix originals thatreimagining which asked us to a) believe two leads photogenic enough to have just stepped off a Parisian catwalk were eternally unlucky in love and b) overlook how their inherent self-obsession essentially hijacked their mutual friends’ dream wedding. That, also set in Sydney and features an adorable dog.
Picking up soon after, the second season premiere shows their reconciliation has gone smoother than their pet rescue. With Colin’s new adoptees determined to hold onto the pooch they’ve rechristened Pepe, his previous owners are forced to stalk him from afar, later adding forgery, bribery, and attempted kidnapping to their list of crimes before finally getting him back .
Some of their funniest moments are the most inconsequential. The natural banter that plays over each end credits sequence. Ash’s exasperation when Gordon reveals his favorite type of music is “bubble grunge.” The discussion about how to define their current status in today’s modern lingo where Ash dryly suggests “stepping about the town.” Such lines might not seem like comic gold on paper, but thanks to the pair’s effortless timing, they genuinely become laugh-out-loud funny.
Season 2 also plays a little looser with the format to great effect. The fifth episode skilfully splits Rashomon-style into two, first tracking an increasingly concerned Gordon when Ash fails to show up for their planned BBQ date, then switching to her perspective for a darkly comic night from hell, which threatens to veer into outback horror.
