Firstly, this isn't a remake. So don't expect to see something similar to the original, because it's been revamped to be more modern and specifically different (which is actually why it got the approval from the original creator)
The writing is really clever, and very relevant to modern Australia. It's funny, touching, and brilliantly contemporary. Matt Okines reimagining of a cliasaoc is spot on, it highlights what made the original so good while at the same time, avoiding the traps that have doomed so many remakes before it.
A shining example of how a reimagined should be done
Special mention to Scott's portrayal as Maggie, brilliantly funny and relatable.
