New Financial Year 2024/2025 Streaming - Boy Swallows Universe - Miniseries

Now the Logies for 2024 is done and dusted, it's time to catch up with the most nominated show. Boy Swallows Universe received a massive 10 Logie Award nominations!

The limited series for Netflix is based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Trent Dalton. 

Boy Swallows Universe revolves around Eli Bell, a working-class youth who enters Brisbane's underworld to save his mother from danger.

The cast is outstanding, Travis Fimmel, Phoebe Tonkin, Felix Cameron, Lee Tiger Halley, Zac Burgess, Simon Baker, Bryan Brown, Anthony LaPaglia and Sophie Wilde all star in this local series.

UPDATE: Following last nights Logies (as I concluded episode seven, Boy Meets End) the miniseries took home five awards!

So I am totally late to this Aussie series. Premiering on Netflix, in January this year.  It received overwhelming praise from critics and audiences. I too enjoyed this tale of family, crime and growing up in Brisbane's suburbs.

To be honest, it was surprising for me to see a Netflix series do so well. Netflix of late for me has 100% been quantity over quality.

The latest episodes of Cobra Kai, Girls5eva & Unstable, were clearly under cooked.

I am happy Netflix got behind an Aussie story. Considering so many of us Aussie's subscribe to the streaming giant.

It's great seeing former model, Travis Fimmel continuing to get interesting roles on Australian (and international) TV. He delivered in this along with Stan's newly renewed series, Black Snow.

So if like me you waited for the Logies to certify Boy Swallows Universe as a hit, then get into this local Netflix series now.

Well done last night cast and crew!
