I just found Mr In-between last month. Excellent show. I recommend Warrior, with the newest season bringing some epic moments that made it easy to imagine Bruce Lee on the lead role, and Banshee, made by some of the same folks.

Ok I have to protest about the inference of the "inappropriateness" of the relationship between Leon and Natalie in "The Professional." As a little girl, traumatized of course by what she's seen, she has a fantasy moment that is cringey BUT in no way does it actually infer anything but her imagination. Leon is devoted to her as a protector, he plays a simple person VERY well with a simple view of life, he trusts easily letting his boss keep basically all his money without feeling at all like he'll never let him have it if he asks, it's a very appropriate relationship considering the inappropriate nature of the circumstances. Yep he does begin to teach her about being a "hit person" and yeah that's hardly an appropriate scenario but it's all he knows so he's imparting his only expertise to her because that's all he has to give. And "The Company Man" is VERY good. I have not seen The Ice Man, I do know the actual story it's portraying and Shannon is hardly the physical analog of the actual Ice Man, but I'm a huge fan of his and I'm really looking forward to it.

I fully agree with your praise for Mr In between. I lived in Australia for over 10 years and can attest for the authenticity of the characters. The laconic nature of some of the tough guys, the greed and boneheadish crims, and the philosophical way they handle the situations they find themselves in. Great humour and surprising realism. 10 out of 10 for me.

Being Australian I was delighted to see such a well written and acted that didn't pull punches on being Australian. I absolutely loved this show and nobody I know has a bad word to say about it.

Stopped at 3:00 minute mark to check it out last night. 12 hours later now I'm on episode 2 of season 3.

This is one of the best shows period , and it gets increasingly better and season 3 was amazing , such a sad yet amazing compressed storyline ... The story arc w his brother made me cry like ive never cried before as a 40 yr old man. Such a fantastic show.

The actor that played Bruce was amazing. I couldn't find a lot of info on the actor but man was he good.

If people think that Scott Ryan took influence from Walter White in *"Breaking Bad,"* just a reminder that the character of Ray Shoesmith in *"Mr Inbetween"* predated Walter White by three years, and began developing the character since 1998.

I was playing my favorite game Hulu. Scrolling for 20 minutes and I ran across this show. Got hooked immediately. Bummed it's only 3 seasons. One of best shows I've seen.

I'm so sad this is the final season. Shows this good are so rare. Great job giving this incredible show some love.

I would have never ever found this show on my own until my co worker's brother in law showed him this then told me about and I'm so glad because this show is now one of my top shows ever. Love everything about this. A+++ Thumbs UP and shared.

So glad to see recognition for this show. Got hooked hard during season one, and after finishing season two, I sat and wondered if it was the best show ever made. Just got done riding the roller-coaster of the latest episode, and the ending totally wrecked me. It will be an artistic tragedy if this really ends after season three.

I love this show. Got it from a members video. I've recommended it to my son and his wife, my boss, my neighbors and all have thanked me for the recommendation. Another one for the DVD win column!

Ugh its too oo shorrrt. I watched seasons 1-3 up until now and I did that all in one night and never felt an ounce of boredom or dislike for anything in it, and now I hear this is the last season????? Tf???

My son introduced me to Mr Inbetween last winter and I have been dying for the 3rd season to come out. It IS the best TV show out right now but I am so disappointed that the 3rd season is so short. What I find so interesting about the character is that despite him doing such awful, awful things, you can't help but really like him.

As a native of the land down under, this show is certainly a local product that I can feel some genuine pride over. What is most interesting to me is the way even the most mundane moments of the decidedly average lives of the marvellously average characters in the story are highlighted and used to excellent effect. Yes, people brush their teeth, yes people fart, and so many other random moments whose ordinariness make for a very “real” and believable show!

I just discovered it too. As a writer I'm blown away by the writing. The "hit man with a heart" trope has never been handled quite the way Mr Inbetween handles it

I haven’t missed Mr. Inbetween but couldn’t agree more about it being one of the best shows on tv.

I know what you mean man. The whole series and “The Magician” gave me a new perspective on creating, writing and acting in a series. I cosplayed as him many times these past few years and I was pleased on how this fantastic show ended. A one of a kind series!

Ray is so believable, albeit a superhuman survivor. His reactions, non-reactions and slight twitches to any inter-personal situation, is so well preformed. That character is such a fleshed out personality. I understand that he has lived in Scots creative universe since 1995/1996. But still, I love good characters, and this one is such a living character. Its all in the subtle way he treats the same stuff. Throughout the show you'll see similar actions and reactions. Like the way he reacts to lies and missdemeanor. Its more of a sigh and shake of the head, than anger. Like he, in accordance to us (the viewer), is thinking "why would you do this to yourself, just give him the info/ money". I view him more of a reaction to what people do, rather than him going out and doing the deed. He has a strong code he follows, that is as subtle as his threats. Anyways, good on you giving this a bump mr. Flick. I loved this show. It shocks me its as undervaluated as it is. Also, in the final season, their nod to "the magician" is just lovable. Edit: This reminds me of "what we do in the shadows" in the creative genius and superb dialogue throughout the production. Hope Scot gets the praise he deserves.

Anyone who missed Warrior, it’s on HBOMax, and the latest season was even better than the first, with many scenes easy to imagine Bruce Lee in. Also, you Gotta watch Banshee as well, if you’ve never come across it. It’s like if Ozark was made by the John Wick team, and the showrunner, Jonothan Tropper, is in on Warrior as well.

Absolutely have to agree. Mr Inbetween is so slept on

Dude, thank you. I can't rave about Mr Inbetween enough - and goddamn Fox has truly screwed up its marketing on this bad-boy. It's one of my fave TV shows of all time, yet I accidentally stumbled upon it late one night while trying to find something decent that I hadn't already seen. I'd never heard of the show, but I binge watched Season 1 in that first night. The fact Ryan is both the actor and writer is just mind-blowing, and to think this is his first big hit is absolutely inspirational. I just wish the episodes were a bit longer, but wonder if the format would hold up as well. Hell, if they made a Mr Inbetween movie that managed to live up to the series, it'd be up there with Animal Kingdom as an Aussie masterpiece. I'm an Aussie myself, and I can appreciate the uniquely realistic take on Mr Inbetween - the characters talk just the way normal Aussie blokes do, so if you're not from the land down under, I can reassure you, that yep, we are a bunch of dry fuckers. Thanks again for highlighting this series, and you've reminded me why I recently subbed to your content.

You weren't kidding Darren , I started binging this show after your vid and it's awesome .

No Darren why are you introducing everybody to my hidden gem. It’s so crazy because I just started watching this show a few weeks ago and I was saying it gives me breaking bad vibes and everything. I considered the best show I’m currently watching and here you come saying all the same things lol I’m just so hurt that it’s only 3 seasons and the creator said he’s done with the show. Also wished the episodes weren’t so short but it’s the best show on Hulu and I will miss it.

Very interested in this show. For the record, J Michael Straczynski wrote something like 90% of the five seasons of Babylon 5, in addition to producing the show. It’s a feat no one has even attempted before or since. That’s not to lessen the work of the gentleman who created this show.

Thank you for doing this video. I overlooked this show so many times but ended up binge watching the entire series at once and loved it so much. I’m so bummed out it has been canceled though. Can we get a position going to convince them to do at least another season, if not more? Help!!

How did I miss this? I didn't even watch the whole video. Just looked at the title, and I knew I had to check it. If Darren recommends it? It has to be good. Thanx again brother! And stay save!

Thanks for this recommendation. This was one I completely overlooked and honestly have never even heard of but the footage you showed in the video looks like it's exactly the type of show I would like. I doubt he can pull off Brian Cranston levels of good acting but the show sounds fascinating and I can't wait to check it out. Also thank you very much for recommending a really good TV show that is not a movie. I know you focus on movies and we like that but as many of your viewers are I'm also a gigantic TV viewer. There are so many fantastic shows out there and it's a lot of fun to find out about something like this that is a hidden gem that also has multiple seasons we can enjoy so we're not quickly finished waiting for more but rather have a lot of goodness to look forward to because it already exists. Fingers crossed, here's hoping you might be encouraged to Branch out a little bit and offer some more great TV show recommendations. Obviously there are plenty of great ones out there but more great recommendations never hurt, like this one.

I love that show so much that I started a Facebook fan dedicated to it.

Just finished watching this excellent show on Hugh & Deb Jackman's recommendation after they admitted binge watching. I've just realised too, as an Aussie, how we condense our words as in "comeon, getouttathere" meaning, get out of the boot (trunk) to some poor bugger about to meet his maker❗ Just brilliant, love Scott Ryan & the Edgerton bros are a class duo.

I absolutely love this show. The best thing I've seen in years. This may sound unsettling to those who are familiar with the character of Ray, but I find him to be very relatable in many ways. By the way, I love your Mandy shirt.

I'm hating life because I gotta wait each week let me binge em all. I tell everyone about this show and almost no one knows what is .

Reminiscent of "The Mechanic"? I am all in!

So happy you did this. Been banging the table to anybody who would listen about this show. Scott Ryan's writing is so good and you're spot on about consistency and focus with same director and writer. Hope they get a Hollywood project outta this and get paid. Best 30 minutes of my week. Hope he gets the girlfriend back! Cheers

i just binged this ...finally . absolute masterpiece

Mr Inbetween is amazing. I binge watched the entire three series in a few days but now I’ve gone back to the beginning to watch it again and see what else I missed. It’s unbelievable how much is packed in to each episode.

Just finished watching S3 so I thought I’d scower KZread for review. As an Aussie, probably the best Australian tv show I’ve ever seen. It’s superb on every level. I recommend any fans of this show to check out Blue Murder. A series from the mid 90s set in the 70s/80s about police corruption and organized crime based on actual events and was my previous benchmark for Australian tv drama..
