In Limbo stars two stars of Aussie dramas Ryan Corr plus Bob Morley. This is the story of a bromance in inner city Melbourne. Following Charlie and Nate as they face how hard it is to let go of those they love, especially when they are taken too soon and when they come back to haunt you.
It also stars Emma Harvie, theatre star from the OG Priscilla: Queen of the Desert - the Musical, Ms Lena Cruz and Aaron Fa'aoso.
This ABC drama was so much better than I was expecting. All six less than 30 minute episodes are streaming now on ABC iview.
I am not game to give The Messenger a go (also on ABC) however there is so much Aussie content on right now. Including at the cinema. Tomorrow I'll do my Sweet As review. Later this winter, The Dry 2 lands at the cinemas.
We have all loved Bob Morley in Love Me, admired how he made it to a CW series in The 100 while starting out back at Home and Away. He is a damn fine good looking human being!
Ryan Corr who plays Charlie has also had his fair share of roles. Including most notably recently HBO's House of Dragon. While appearing on fellow ABC series Wakefield, Stan's mini series The Commons and Bloom, also on Stan.
So the bromance leads have both been on their fair share of Australian TV. It's a great time right now for Australian dramas. Not so much for new reality series. With Seven's Million Dollar Island managing just over 400K viewers on its opening night. Not worth a million bucks maybe?
In Limbo had mini series vibes, however the ending leave me to believe the producers could be aiming at getting a second season with a few questions up in the air after episode six.
I really enjoyed this local drama/comedy. However the subject matter is a little tricky to blend in comedy. No spoilers but it does hit fairly hard. Particularly the first episode.
So if you would like a series not based in Sydney or Melbourne, maybe try the Brisbane based In Limbo.
