The Edge of the Bush (2017)
A bit of Trailer Park Boys meets Kath & Kim
Endless dry jokes from beginning to end, the characters and their antics are just on the verge of plausible for outback Australia. Adding the concept of not really understanding and messing up real time YouTube streaming is quite a brilliant angle base it all around.
If you've lived in anywhere described as 'the bush' in Australia then pretty much all the stupid or insane things they do or say, well... you'll probably have heard or seen someone do something like that at some time in real life. They just wrapped heaps of it all up into a short episode (each is only 15 min) series.
There plenty of classic only in Australia sayings which might need a little translation for foreigners.
Q: Into the Storm (2021)
Transforms in Ep3 after 1&2 were a bit disjointed
The first two episodes jump around a lot and don't really lay out details in a way anything like a normal documentary would. This appears to be because the are intentionally letting Q people themselves lay out the story, which is a smart way to avoid death threats but is reliant on the narratives of people with disjointed and irrational thinking. They succeed in establishing that there are lot of the core Q people that are outright nut jobs and often of seriously compromised intellectual capacity and judgement.
It gives the impression we are witnessing the birth of a new religious cult along a similar line to scientology, but potentially much bigger. Even when the 'facts' underlying their beliefs are being torn apart the Q believers are capable of of some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to avoid acknowledging they have been sucked into a cult.
Episode 3 opens up the fascinating and key subject of the Luther Blissett group and the novel "Q" first published in Italian in 1999 which is obviously the origin and template for Q'Anon and makes the whole story take an L'ron Hubbard twist.
Psycho Goreman (2020)
An obscure laugh fest of a film
If you watch this film without expecting it to be anything than what it is, then its bloody hilarious, plenty of funny moments that you just don't see coming.
The little girl is brilliantly portrayed and you do keep wanting to strangle her but that just keeps it all the more engaging.
QAnon: The Search for Q (2021)
Shines some light on an important topic
Not the best documentary, and whilst it gets a bit sidetracked at times for anyone wanting to catch up on what is known about Q, this covers it and I'm not aware of any other TV show that does any better, so for now this is the bar. It is obviously challenging to summarize Q given how loosely organized they are and the vastly different depths down the rabbit hole individual believers have gone (or not)
It is certainly NOT biased any more than a western documentary on Kim Jong-un would appear biased to a North Korean 'patriot'.
The Jim Jefferies Show (2017)
The Daily Show alternative we've been waiting for
As an avid fan of Daily Show and Last Week Tonight I have long been waiting for a another show in the same league but with a different flavor of comedy, and an alternative perspective.
Jim Jefferies delivers a witty but often deeply insightful look at news and world issues.
