The Other Guy (2017–2019)
A smart and funny comedy-drama better written than most
21 August 2017
Matt Okine has always been a charismatic and likable comic. Really great to see himself go all out and give a great performance in a show that is a welcome relief considering the poor state of Australian TV. Not a one liner marathon and instead relies on well written characters and insightful messages about the breakdown of relationships, while also being funny. Manages to echo the best parts of American shows such as master of none while still managing to have its own style. Harriet Dyer is also hysterical and thankfully is given depth instead of just being silly sidekick. Beautifully shot with high quality cameras and showing off how cinematic Melbourne looks, this is a great show that hopefully goes round for another series.
