Upper Middle Bogan

Holy $hit this show is hilarious. I've gone back and rewatched many episodes. Admittedly I had to turn the CC on once or twice, as the accents are hefty. Didn't bother me one bit though, was happy to do it and rewatch the scene. This show was cast perfectly. It's dry humor and you have to have the delivery for this type humor. It's all about the mannerisms and facial expressions. I'm really glad I ran across this show, it's really funny.

Classic Aussie comedy. Would love to see more. Not a weak character in the show.

Don't let the title "Upper Middle Bogan" put you off from watching this comedy about upper middle class and doctor by profession Bess Denyar (Annie Manyard) who finds she's adopted and her real parents Julie and Wayne Wheeler who are drag racing "bogans". If Americans understood the term "bogan", definition being: An uncouth or unsophisticated, regarded as being of low social status". Rather than making fun of the lower class, this sitcom is classy with a superb fine talent led by Thespian acting legend Robin Nevin who plays the adopted mother of Bess, Michala Banas, Madeleine Jevic and Rhys Mitchell play Bess' long lost bogan siblings Amber, Brianna and Kayne, Lara Robinson and Harrison Feldman play Bess's chalk and cheese twins Edwina and Oscar and Dougie Baldwin plays Amber's son Shawn and Patrick Bramwall plays Bess's neurotic stay at home architecture husband Danny.

Loved it from the first episode, season 2 was already better than the first, but in season 3 is all comes together beautifully and better than I expected.

In essence, I would call it "The Australian Modern Family". Both in quality and in spirit. 'Nough said!

Ok I loved it. Funny and entertaining, I just loved it. Although in the first season it seemed the camera was noticably jerky in the scenes, but was filmed smoother in the second and third season.

Kudos to the actors for bringing the writers characters to life. Each actor truly brought uniqueness to their characters persona. I liked how each episode had it's own story, with just a little of the history of the relationships between the family members filtering along without it saturating the next episode. Its a very entertaining and funny show. I'm glad I watched it.

Worth the watch, if you like comedy.
