People talk about 'The Wire', 'The Sapranos', 'Breaking Bad' being classics, and rightly so, of course. But as good as they are and as much as I admire them, personally, for me, 'Mr Inbetween' pips them at the post. It's an absolutely perfect masterpiece.
Wonder why networks here in the states have yet to acknowledge the greatness of this show, like you said, based on great storytelling, great acting and all without $40 mil in special effects. Don’t get me wrong, I love special effects and CGI, but this show had me pining for the next episode with just well executed basic fundamentals.. I really hope we see Ray again. If not, perhaps he could create a whole new series. Whatever it is, I’m watching.
This show was genius in the phenomenally light touch with which it portrayed how Ray was motivated throughout by his yearning for love. He’s always eating out at Asian restaurants in a hat-tip to his divorced wife. His brother, his daughter, his dog. That Polaroid of the dead Zoe you see for second, in the sun visor of his taxi cab… when he bumped into his ex who was now pregnant it was just brutal!
No human exists with this kind of contrasting personalities geez you fool. It’s fantastical acting ! Not possibly any real person could be,you probably think tony soprano could be an existing person. True killers are dead eyed psychopaths that never function in society, except cartels! They die quickly and their relationships are with prostitutes and drug dealers.
I've always found it hard to get anyone I recommend Mr Inbetween to actually watch it. The couple of people who I did persuade have actually thanked me for it and now rate it as highly as I did in my recommendation to them.
I accidentally saw an Aussie movie called the Stranger. I had time to kill and happened to be near a theatre. What a great movie it was....Mr Inbetween is a light comedy compared to it. Acting is amazing...a bit slow but builds tension until it is hard to watch....its based on a true murder. Aus makes gritty crime movies like no other. Well done Aus!
Saw it and loved it two years ago, I originally saw the first couple of eps when it was first shown and I thought meh. I revisited it a year or so later and was hooked. Getting it on disc at the moment. Definitely collectible.
This series is good, but I wish each episode were longer and the segues were a little less abrupt between scene changes where ( I think ) commercial inserts are placed. These spots are black screen for 3 or 4 seconds long and breaks the flow of the story line. It is like this on the DVD set that I have. If you liked this series, then you should check out the series "Dexter". A very well done, well written and directed masterpiece with great story lines that will keep you glued to your screen. A few notable cameos by well known actors that you will recognize immediately. You will not be disappointed.
Last I read, he's writing more material (show or movie I can't recall) and working with some big Hollywood names on different production/s. Either way, I'm waiting for whatever he puts his name too because this show was brilliant.
I have a friend who is a criminal lawyer...pardon the pun. His stories of clients mirror whatnyou see in this series i.e. not exaggerated...real.crims are.not as smart as you see in this show....with a few exceptions.
First I watched the Mr. Inbetween series on Hulu. Then I watched it on Hulu again. Then I watched it somewhere else ... the full series again. Then I watched a bunch of tributes over the last year and a half. Then, most recently, I watched your on ĒCHØ • Editor. Very nice, especially the way you showcase the various aspects of Ray Shoesmith's character. I still miss the show, the genius, Shoesmith's doomed brother Bruce. I'm eager to learn if Scott Ryan finds a soft place to land with a friend who gives him the respect and free rein he'll need for his next project as he was able to take advantage of so successfully in this series. Two Questions for you, one that's trivial, one that matters enormously. What was the name of Ray's friend who was shot and killed by the drone when the evil trio tried to murder them both in the farmhouse? The enormous question: what was the name of the killed man's son, whom Ray promises to help when his friend dies? That is the one possible scenario for future Mr. Inbetween episodes, perhaps years from now. Please don't misunderstand; I thought the way Ryan brought the show to an end was perfect. Ray just didn't want to have to work with and for casually cruel, brutal and murderous scum for the rest of his life. They didn't need to kill his sweet, young girfriend, but did so simply because she was inconvenient. They all deserved to die in due course as they did, but Ray spared equally feckless and uncaring Freddie as if to mark the end of Mr. Inbetween. That was truly brilliant in my view, Ray succeeding in doing what literally scores of bad guys always say the want to do, and then fail to do: get out of the business for good. An older, wiser, still potentially lethal Ray trying to set a younger version of Mr. Inbetween straight might make a short, compelling series somewhere down the line. And it is also a showbiz truism that a wise actor should ''Never say never!''

Dead right there.
Love/Hate (available on SBS) is up there as well.
Feels massively ahead of those you mentioned. The clearly lower budger relies on great writing and acting. It really is a masterpiece of TV

I have watched this series 3 times now and I still love it. Just as good as Banshee.
One of the best series I ever watched 👌👌
If you liked this series, then you MUST see the entire series of "Dexter". You will not be disappointed. Check it out.
Scott Ryan (Ray Shoesmith) wrote Mr In-between and starred in it 🔥 🔥 🔥
This show is like a diamond in the rough.
This show was genius in the phenomenally light touch with which it portrayed how Ray was motivated throughout by his yearning for love. He’s always eating out at Asian restaurants in a hat-tip to his divorced wife. His brother, his daughter, his dog.

The polaroid of dead zoe? I must have missed that.

@@mitchellbooth8435 He loved her the most when she was dead so made sure to get a snap of it
I've always found it hard to get anyone I recommend
Mr Inbetween to actually watch it. The couple of people who I did persuade have actually thanked me for it and now rate it as highly as I did in my recommendation to them.
Trip to his old boxing gym is Chef's kiss.
Outstanding series. Got to love Ray and Gaz.........
Best Australian show in my living memory.
One of the best shows ever not just Australian.
I accidentally saw an Aussie movie called the Stranger. I had time to kill and happened to be near a theatre. What a great movie it was....Mr Inbetween is a light comedy compared to it. Acting is amazing...a bit slow but builds tension until it is hard to watch....its based on a true murder. Aus makes gritty crime movies like no other. Well done Aus!
Absolutely brilliant.
Just finished watching this. Brilliant👍
Seeing a broken Ray after Zoey died was heartbreaking
Loved these clips. Never heard of this show before as I live in China.......I definitely want to search it out.
Greatest show I’ve ever seen 🔥
"You're matter... I'm matter. We cannot cease to exist; we can only change forms."
My kind of father in law said that when his son died. We are all matter, we cannot cease to exist, we only change forms. Still breaks my heart.
True story that
"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow. And I am in them, and that is eternity" - Edvard Munch
that was an awesome tribute....bravo guys, bravo
In the top ten of greatest tv shows, most will never see it - sadly.
Saw it and loved it two years ago, I originally saw the first couple of eps when it was first shown and I thought meh. I revisited it a year or so later and was hooked. Getting it on disc at the moment. Definitely collectible.
Just a masterpiece
I’m loving all your edits mate. Seriously, stella job 👏👏👏👏
Great show, bril cover of Zombie!. Nuff said
Brilliant edit!

Best series iv watched in years. Fucking brilliant.
One of the best shows ever this
Ray is modern day eastwood
You just keep your guys in line, mate.... and I won't have to.
Hey, nice flow.
That guy has the most menacing teeth.
I have said it before... and I'll say it again... I miss this show.
Watch Banshee! Brilliant.😊
Ray is the Boss taken out the garbage
This guy disappeared as far as I can tell. Please come back.
Last I read, he's writing more material (show or movie I can't recall) and working with some big Hollywood names on different production/s. Either way, I'm waiting for whatever he puts his name too because this show was brilliant.
Wish I could get this series in region 2 dvd's 🤔
coulda shoulda, doesn't matter now
What channel is it on
Should be a franchise, Scottish, German, French, Us versions..interesting..
This would be a really great video if not for the weird color filter and the watermark.
I have a friend who is a criminal lawyer...pardon the pun. His stories of clients mirror whatnyou see in this series i.e. not exaggerated...real.crims are.not as smart as you see in this show....with a few exceptions.
Why bother showing these clips as they don't go anywhere and no conclusion
To get people hooked on it and order DVDs. Which I plan on doing.
