This show is really out there. It takes risks with seriously dark topics (murder and drug trafficking - to name a couple) and deals with them humorously.
I've found out about this show thanks to its American counterpart. Needless to say, the original is so much better, it's edgy and controversial. US version is a much safer, watered down version of this and it's already getting repetitive and banal.
In the Australian version, we see Myles Barlow as the host of a show-within-a-show, reviewing different life experiences at the request of people who write to him. He often comically misinterprets the letters - i.e. a woman wrote to him that she fancies her friend's boyfriend and Myles concludes that her main dilemma is whether or not to steal. Consequently, he decides to explore stealing and progresses from petty shoplifting to an armed robbery.
Myles uses a lot of metaphors while describing different situations and emotional states, his figures of speech are very witty and they give this show some extra charm.
I really hope that this show will gain cult status it deserves.
