Please Like Me is wonderful. Anyone watched it? I'm just two episodes in.

The character is likeable in small doses. He gets annoying after awhile. And the show is very fantasy based. There is no way that he would date/have sex with all the hot guys they cast as his boyfriends. And I was surprised to learn in later episodes that he's the top.

I liked his roommate and think that the show should have revolved around him instead, with Josh being the gay best friend.

When Hannah Gadsby joins the show, she really adds much needed depth to the show. She wrote some of her character's scenes and she takes it to another level.

Where do you watch it?

Josh punched above his weight in real life too.

Keegan Hirst is bloody awesome

I mean Keegan Joyce

Netflix? Hulu? HBOMax? Prime? Peacock? CBS All Access? Disney+?

I love this show and binge watch it often.

However his new show is just awful.

Hulu airs them but they are edited down I think

Hulu. I have heard from reliable sources that his fame has gone to his head and he’s pretty unfortunate IRL. That said - his original one man show and this series version of it are an engaging dramedy that deals with the reality of mental health issues.

Hulu, R6. I agree about the show, overly hot boyfriends and all. And I loved Hannah Gabsby: too bad she got so cheer-free.

I liked Keegan Joyce’s character at first but he got on my nerves. Roommate Patrick was the hottest gay.

The Christmas story of Keegan Joyce

[quote]And I loved Hannah Gabsby: too bad she got so cheer-free.

I watched one of the broadcasts of one of her shows. It started off funny enough, but by the end, she was screaming about women's stories not being told. I was disappointed because I was hoping she could make her point without devolving into a screaming harpie like so many other feminists. I had hoped she had the ability to stick the knife in while smiling.

[Quote] I had hoped she had the ability to stick the knife in while smiling.

Yes. Women should smile more.

[quote]Yes. Women should smile more.

Well, she is a comedienne. If I wanted anger, I'd tune into Ashley Judd.

Looks like a post-menopausal woman, sounds like a post-menopausal woman, insufferably sarcastic, but he is bagging the hottest men Australia has to offer. Lol.

R3 Meh. He looks like Jeff Daniels in Dumb and Dumber and Owen Wilson had a butt baby.

R16 And I was talking about the character in the show. I have no idea what this guy's personality is like irl, but he gets so obnoxious in the show.

He's cute but he's not among Australia's hottest.

Op It turns into being all about mental illness, as every character in the show has some mental fuckup. It gets really tired quickly and by the last season is completely fucking miserable.

And am so over the 'I never knew I was gay until the first episode' Nonsense.

He has womanly hips.

The series is based on his one man show which is largely autobiographical.

I loved it. Yes, Josh was annoying. I loved Tom. I loved Ella. Loved loved loved the father’s second wife.

Dad and May were the show’s weak link.

Ok, r23. Please shoot me.

His new show is just as full of mental and initials after names.

The straight BFF Tom is cute, lovely character.

The second season was probably the best season overall. The storyline involving Josh’s mom in the mental health facility was particularly effective.

Hearing Pippa from Home & Away say "fuck" is just wrong.

Watched this show a while back.

The first season was great.

The second season was tolerable.

The final two seasons were not worth the time.

I found this on Finnish Netflix many years ago and binged the first few seasons during a visit there. I went back later and finished up the entire series.

I love Please Like Me, even with all its flaws and annoyances. Keegan Joyce as Arnold is darling. Tom Ward as Tom is my favorite, and he is downright hot beginning in season two. Josh's mother, father, and stepmother are excellent. Josh Thomas as Josh, however, is frustrating but refreshing.

When I need a pick-me-up, I binge Please Like Me over a couple days, then I feel better.

If you like PLM I recommend Rosehaven, another quirky Australian comedy.

Team Geoffrey. Fuck he is hot. Too bad he’s gone to shit irl.

How so????

I like Josh and Tom's friendship. Apparently bff IRL. I won't binge watching but space it out. Like candy.

The best episodes centered around Josh-Tom-Claire. Boyfriend Arnold and Lohan-lookalike Ella were annoying as fuck.

I always hated the way Josh pronounced "Arnold." The sound is so far up his nose it comes out his eyeballs.

The Australian series with an ugly, annoying twat as the lead? It's simply boring and annoying and self-indulgent.

Imagine how much better it would be with Tommy Little and Beau Ryan instead of Josh and Arnold

No no no please do not remake it. Let it be, with its own charm.

Not Jojsh's life but TL's.

Josh Thomas is definitely not cute OP. Not by a long shot.

R42, cute is both relative and subjective.

You find relatives cute? Me too!

I thought he was cute on the show. Did he cast actors who were much more attractive to play opposite him romantically? Hell, yeah (and I thank him for it).

I've been binging the series the last few days. Tom reminds me so much of my nephew in his insecurity and morality. And though I'm old enough to be his father, Keegan Joyce is so adorable it hurts. I want to hug him and make him feel loved. And the boy can sing! Sigh.

R45 Josh says in the first episode how he can't be live that he got a guy so much hotter than him. so yeah, there's no self delusion here. That's what makes him cute, his manner and his deportment rather than his looks.

I guess I'm the only one who find the father hot.

So far, no one is going online. Don't they use grindr in Australia?

The mentally ill bf is the cutest imho.

When they decide not to be monogamous that's the end for me. Call me names, but if you don't want to be with only me, I don't want to be with you.

The show is not about you r51

Yeah, you are right. I probably relate way too much to the show for my own good.

The lead is really ugly. Why don’t they pair him with equally ugly guys?

[Quote] The lead is really ugly. Why don’t they pair him with equally ugly guys?

Because you didn't attend the casting session.

He's goofy cute. He's pleasant to look at and yeah his bfs are cuter.

Ok I just finished watching the entire series. I'm am devastated and exhilarated, both. Watch it guys, highly recommended.

Bye!

I just got up to the last season. I couldn't get through five minutes of the first episode. It's telegraphed that they are going to have a threesome with the guy at the bar, the new guy will only be interested in Arnold, and that will break them up. And clearly one of the characters will kill herself or himself by the end of this season. I'd rather leave it before seeing that.

The first season is enjoyable...then, it just becomes more of the same.
