Summer Slack Streaming - Bad Behaviour - miniseries

Bad Behaviour is the latest miniseries (I am assuming this is a one and done, it says all episodes now streaming) on Stan. This could be the biggest summer of Stan with originals with a couple of films, new series and Bump returning!

Based on the book of the same name by Rebecca Starford, the series depicts the gripping and unsparing story of how the desire to belong, sets in motion a cruel dynamic. 

Bad Behaviour had its international premiere at 73rd Berlin International Film Festival in Berlinale Series section on 20 February 2023, where it will competed for Berlinale Series Award.

The four episode run premiered last Friday. So four episodes, too easy, I am done and dusted! A basic idea of the plot is, Jo goes to boarding school and tries to build relationships with fellow students in her dormitory.


It's dark and at times very, very mean. I enjoyed it in part, however even my mother said it could be a bit dark for her. They loved Dexter for a reference point.

I want to support local series, however this one just didn't hit the spot for me. Where Bump is fun, with a kind side, Bad Behaviour was just dark, cruel, twisted while also being a little too woke in parts.

It does have beautiful moments however it was at times a challenging watch with bullying and bitchy behaviour at the centre of the show.

Starring mostly new comers, Dan Spielman and Diana Glenn star as Jo's parents.

Stan has a number of new/quality series now streaming. Including the latest buzz series Poker Face which I need to check out. If your a fan, good news that has been renewed early for a second season!

Until next time. Good night!
