the division of joy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Alright, surprised and also not surprised there isn't a thread on this. Aussie black comedy centered around a woman, her boyfriend and her pet dog, wilfred. Here is the original pilot episode which won best comedy award at a festival in 2002. If you dislike this you have no soul and deserve to watch glee with Arch. The original aussie series that followed this was fucking immense. Beyond words almost in how good it was. Its been remade into a series in America on FX I think, starring Elijah Wood. Anyone caught it? Either way, watch, love, discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) That pilot was a bit of alright. The clip Panch posted, however, has convinced me to seek out and DL the series... Edited September 6, 2012 by Mr. Hakujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 You'd like it Chris, I've seen both the U.S. and Aussie version, they are both top notch dark comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I've seen a few of the original series episodes and I'm about 8 episodes deep in to the US series. I like 'em both, but the US has a slightly more dark/ominous feel to it knowing it's all coming from Ryan's mind. And in the last episode I watched where Wilfred goes to the hospice was closer to an episode of Twin Peaks than a comedy. I think I need to switch on back over to the Oz series for a bit. It seems to have a bit more whimsy about it. At least it did in the pilot and cat episodes I've seen. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yeah, the US version has a lot more going on, on top of being darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) One of the incredibly rare occasions where I prefer the 2nd version of something that's remade for another country. Both are great, but the US one has more of this sinister undertone. Edited September 28, 2012 by Thelogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
