For those that don't know Scott Ryan decided to end his show after season 3. He felt that he couldn't give the same quality in season 4 and wanted to move on to other projects. I think he was burnt out with the character. It not an issue of that can be solved by getting picked up by another network. He writes and stars and made the decision. While disappointing i got to respect the decision to end the show with the same great quality it began with rather than a slow drawn out death which isn't ray's style as we all know. lol
Australian here. This show is probably the hands down best ever depiction of the Aussie underworld. The dialogue is pure authentic Aussie. It is so real it scares me.
Not just the language, but the depiction of all the aspects of underground culture in Australia... Bikie gangs, stripper clubs and bouncers, burying people in the bush, the pokies, random psychotic Russians 😅
I literally found this show while I was watching a pirated episode of Always Sunny and they forgot to cut out an advert for this show. Needless to say i was looking for a new show to binge and I found this hidden gem. Fucking brilliant
I don't think it's underated. Everyone I know who has watched it loves it. It's just not being shown on the right platforms to get to a wider audience.
It’s amazing I recently discovered it and glad I did. I saw an ad on Facebook for season 3 and started watching it. I hope another network picks it up.
Severely underrated. Im glad alot of other people like it i keep getting scared itll be canceled. Everyone i ask if like no ive never seen it and I'm like wtf this is an awesome show you need to check it out
@@anthonytobias5459 unfortunately it's ending after season 3. The story will officially wrap up then. I know it's a shame, but it's on the creator's decision to end it then and not the network, so at least we know it'll be done for good and on good terms. This truly has been a fantastic show and I catch myself rewatching it every so often because it's short and sweet. Love the humour in it too - very Aussie.
so fucking glad that people are watching this outside Australia. I love this show so much and to see an Australian production gain some sort of traction outside aus is incredible.
Ive watched a short on youtube showing this bald guy, just some random clip about road rage. I instantly went to see the whole series in 2 days, hands down best show i ever saw. Not because of some crazy action and high budget but very authentic and simple with beautiful writing. Im kinda sad knowing it will be hard to find another gem like that anytime soon...
That was the only thing that wasn't quite spot on. Calling dim sims "dimmies" is very much a Melbourne cultural thing (Ryan is from Melbourne), but the series is shot in Sydney, though they don't make that really obvious.
I'll be 70 in a few months and not dealing well with that prospect. It's comments from guys like you talking about a TV show that reminds me if you live long enough, you get old so pedal to the metal boys. Oh yeah, please send Ray over here to the US and have him make Trump regret the day his sorry ass was born. I'd do it but I still have other things I want to do before I croak. Would be like killing a scorpion in my bedroom except I might have a little remorse about killing the scorpion.
The episode about taking his daughter out to see the unicorn in the blue mountains and his brother and girlfriend went along,man that scene made me smile. I used to make these old pirates maps by putting paper in the oven on low after I rubbed them with wet Coffee grounds. Makes the paper look really old gives a real look to the old pirate map. Then we take our vacation down to the beach and I buried the map in the sand along the path we take and the girls would find it. And I had this old smaller chest and really old burlap bags that I put some toys necklaces all sorts of jewelry I get at the dollar store and pack that thing full of good treasure. For 10 bucks at the dollar store you can get a lot of stuff about 10 years ago love those places. Anyways I would pack that thing full then bury it based off the maps directions. And about the day after they found the map we’d go out treasure hunting. I loved watching them do stuff like that. Then sometimes we go out in the front yard of our house and we plant a single skittle or a single M&M about 6 inches in the dirt and then water it and put a little fertilizer on it and a little bit of my special formula that we’d make up the night before with spices and all sorts of stuff from the kitchen and mix it together and we poured on the spot where we buried the skittles and M&Ms. that night I’d go out in the woods and cut down a couple branches , plant them in the ground where we buried the candy, and then I would poke little holes in all the little miniature candy bags and take fishing line and tie them all over the branches that were sticking straight up like candy trees. The next morning the girls will come running into my room and say daddy daddy it worked the candy trees worked and we pick all the candy off the trees and bring them inside and share with mom. Just got back doing a cross country Road trip with my wife and daughters age 20 and 16 they picked the music I drove and it was the best trip of my life and there’s. We can never get time back but we can always have memories and create new ones . Anyways I don’t usually write on the Internet but that scene was pretty special thanks for ever posted video.
You are truly awesome Best reply ever read Your kids are greatly blessed to have such an innovative,creative, possibly bit crazy dad. Best wishes and appreciation from Cornwall UK
Found the show a week ago, watched all 3 seasons. So glad to know it wasn't cancelled but intentionally ended on a high note, I so want to see more and that's how all these amazing projects should end because I know deep down if he kept at it it'd get stale and I'd be bored of it. This is one of those rare shows I'll recommend to everyone I know.
Thanks for the clip. It was thanks to UTube that I found out about this gem and then got Disney+ for 6 months and watched the lot. brilliant. Coincidence of coincidences, I was out in Aus (Melbourne) back in March visiting my son and on the second day there. walking in a Garden south of St Kilda, saw Scott walking through the garden. Having shouted out "Its the magician" which seemed to please his companion, if not Scott, he looked at me, smiled with all those teeth and put his finger to his lips. Just as scary as in the show. Magic. Made my visit.
Thanks for this video. I'm Australian, I live in Australia, I love this show, and nobody here knows about it! It really *is* as authentic as it seems. The characters all act and talk like normal Australians. I know or have met people exactly like the ones on the show. The events are so believable that I could easily imagine them happening right down the street now (I live just outside Sydney, where it's shot). We just have to keep telling people about it!
Haha nah man I’m an Aussie from Sydney too and the reason I just fucking adore this show so much is that it literally feels like something that could have gone on during my time at uni, mixing with some fairly dicey people from the outer western suburbs like the bra boys etc. This show is so well done and so true to real life that it genuinely brings back nostalgia for me for that era. My coke dealer and (loosely) bra boy roommate was so much like Ray in behavior and mannerisms it’s surprisingly uncanny. The way that the criminals talk and interact and deal with things in the show, it’s all so fucking exact that it makes me suspect that the lead actor also genuinely mixed (but a lot more, and with more serious types) with western suburbs drug dealers and hoods, and that like 80-90% of this show takes inspiration from from lived/observed experience. There’s no other way the show could feel so incredibly real to us people from Sydney, particularly who knew people like that.
@@RevengeAvenger Bra boys are thugs from the suburb Maroubra (hence the 'bra') who deal in drugs heavily, but many individuals are known for their violence to the extent that it's likely that they engage in a decent amount of small-time non-drug related criminal activity. If someone associated with them vouches for you they can be really friendly and generous (with their drugs mainly; surplus coke, weed), in a very typically Australian way which you don't see too much of anymore, but you shouldn't let this fool you about them though; to outsiders their behavior can be morally abhorrent. I would get sickened hearing some of their stories when they were hanging out with my mate (the one connected) while I was.
Man, I discovered this show the same way: seeing ads for it on RUclips and whatnot. Decided I’d try it out, cause the concept is interesting enough, albeit not wholly unique. But holey moley, I’m so glad I made that decision. I binged every episode up to 3.07 in just over a week. I cannot recommend this show enough. From the acting, to the writing, and everything else, it’s as good a show as I’ve seen in ages. That’s not to say it’s perfect, but it’s quickly become one of my favorite all-time shows. The worst is when you find a show you love dearly, but have no one to talk about it with, because barely anyone’s heard of it. I’m glad to see everyone who has seen it rave about it, cause it’s definitely deserving.
It amazes me how much story and character they can push into 25 minutes but keep the pacing up to where you don’t realize how short it is. “Socks are important” felt like movie length, forgot I was watching a short ep.
My number 1 series ever. It has everything. You will laugh, and you will sob like some Grandmother at points. Great action to boot. Plus, lessons in loyalty and principle. Just incredible. It gets better when you start to research Scott Ryan.
@@anthonytobias5459 Jesus, that sucks but initially I thought you were saying this past season was the last. That's a relief, but this show needs to go for at least 6 seasons.
Brit here, clocked some clips on RUclips, gave it a go on Disney+. By far the best thing I’ve seen a long time, just about to finish season 3, the stories are so compelling ( Brucey, dealing with anger management classes, his dad, coping with entitled dipsh*ts, relationships etc) you are rooting for what socially is regarded as bad man but know he truly believes what he is doing is the correct course of action. Sad to see it end, will have to hunt out The Magician. Thank you for doing this synopsis, made me grin seeing rays way of doing things again!
Best Aussie series ever . Season 2 is even better than the first .... Ep 4 in season 2 delves more into the dark side .....with little humour ( about a man hiring Ray to find out what happened to his daughter who disappeared years ago). This episode is a masterpiece ....it stays with you long after it's finished & has you thinking ...as a parent how far would you go to find out what happened
What an episode ! Darren did you notice who the father was ? Tiriel Mora. Martin deStasio from Frontline. Darryl Kerrigans lawyer from The Castle. "Ahh its the vibe ... it s Mabo ... yeah but its mainly the vibe ... "
You got that right left an impression on me I'll never forget. Help get me off drugs when I was going through some hard times life better now but why did I have to take good shows like this away?
The ending was one of the most dramatic and emotional scenes in any movie or TV show I've ever seen. At first I wondered why it end there. Then I thought what would I have done.... yeah, you can't put that on a screen of any size. On the other hand The kitchen sink scene had me cracking up. Picture yourself walking the dog some night, and you go by the house of the known sex offender in the neighborhood and see that.... I'd stand and watch while letting the dog shit in his yard, _AGAIN._
couldn't have asked for a more fun ending. from the song choice, to the smile, and the looking at the camera for the first time, like he knew we'd been following him through the show. fucking amazing.
It is the best show I’ve seen in decades. I learned from this video that Scott Ryan waited 10 years to do it right and refused compromise - and it was absolutely worth it.
Weirdly I’ve only just watched it 2024. How I hadn’t heard of it before when it’s so damned good I don’t know. He’s as cold as ice, a ruthless merciless killer and yet you can’t help liking him. He’s a hit man yet he’s so relatable. It’s the little things mostly , everyday observations, the relationships, god you could rave all day about it. That mad smile, it’s up there with Jack Nicholson crazy grin. I love the guy and want to see more of him so spread the word to everyone you know!
This is my favorite show of all time. I’ve rewatched it probably 3 or 4 times. It’s so authentic feeling and nothing ridiculous happens just to push it along it’s just realistic almost to a point. The soundtrack is stellar as well.
Mr Inbetween was the best series I've seen in years, each show was packed with exciting moments and not knowing what is coming next. Sadly enough it was cancelled after the second episode. All of my friends and relatives also liked this show "BRING IT BACK Now".
I don't care what people say. The actor/director basicly made a story about either his own life or some of his friends life. This whole thing is too real and genuine.
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO FILM SCHOOL AND DEVELOPED HIS OWN SCRIPT FOR HIS LOW BUDGET MOVIE THE MAGICIAN. IT WAS FILMED ON BY ONE OTHER STUDENT WHO ALSO PLAYS A PART IN THE FILM FOLLOWING AN EX SOLDIOER AROUND AS HE PLIED HIS TRADE AS A HIT A HITMAN AND A STAND OVER MAN IN NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA. THIS LATER BECAME WHAT YOU SEE HERE A MULTI SEASON HIT SHOW THAT LITERALLY TAKES YOU BY SUPRISE ON A CULTURAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL LEVEL WITH PLENTY OF ACTION ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A GENRE AS SUBJECTIVE AS THIS. Just realised i had caps on.
This show is pure gold. My brother took a chance on it out of boredom and recommended it to me. Now I’m the one who can’t recommend it strongly enough.
The second season, ugh. I teared up a lot. I want nice things for Ray and the shit just hit the fan this season. I hope he has a better year next season.
One of the best shows ever made. I got lucky and watched from the beginning and then went back to watch the short and then the Magician. Although it's over, I am eagerly awaiting Scott's other productions.
This is a banger, the lead actor is so authentic to his character it leaves chills down my spine. This is one of the best Australia production in a while, we want more pls
This show is so stupidly ignored, it's absolutely phenomenal, and I've never seen word 1 outside of searching for it, and it's one of the best shows currently on. It does this amazing thing where the violence is completely apathetic, it's just there, it happens, it's a part of life, it doesn't matter...then in one instant it switches around and makes it matter entirely ("Sorry. I gotta go".). And the lead actor is an absolute revelation as Ray Shoesmith, he knows all of his strengths, and delivers perfectly on every level possible, there's not a single moment where the screen belongs to anyone else. It's just captivating the way he reacts to the littlest things. If this show gets cancelled, it'll be one of the worst cancellations of all time.
I saw one article where it was mentioned. Back when it came out there was an article at the end of the year that was a "hit or miss first season shows" I believe was the name of the article, they said the show wasn't either a hit or a miss
@@stonerman2096 I would agree with this. I've watched a few episodes. It kind of just... exists. There's not much happening, it's pretty slow, but it's not a bad show 🤷♂️ so far
One of the best and classiest series finales of all time. So refreshing to not feel like the writers got bored at the end. Looking at you game of thrones, lost, dexter!
JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU DAN... (incidentally now subscribed and 👍).. .. thank you for introducing me to this PHENOMENALLY written, acted and directed show. After watching this video back in February I watched more scenes on RUclips then decided to start watching it on Prime.. and the fact that it's now over with all 3 Seasons fully ingested...I'm left wanting selfishly MORE as I feel like a family member or good friend is gone. Mr Inbetween was a trifecta: as it made me LAUGH.. WEEP.. CHEER. Rare for a show or film to have that kinda multiple impact. BUT MORE importantly it taught me certain aspects about life and what it means to be a man.. how to be a friend ...a good parent... and how to react when we fail at those endeavors. ALL THIS it taught me while never forgetting the fact what Ray did "for a living"... and how the kind of man it takes to do such vile things is formed WITHOUT blaming childhood events directly for this OWN evil acts. THUS his inner YING and YANG tussle... creating the conflict within him... i.e. THAT WHICH MAKES US ALL HUMAN. I can go on but I'll leave it to the modern Siskell and Ebert's to sing its praises better than I ever could. Thanks again Dan. I'll check your channel regularly, hopefully find some new gems. 🖖
A while back I watched Fargo, loved it, then Atlanta, loved it, and I started to give FX programming a very serious look. Mr. Inbetween piqued my interest after I finished season 2 of Atlanta, and I watched the whole first season in one sitting, staying up way, way too late. Season 2 of Mr. Inbetween was another all night session a couple days ago, ending with some puffy eyes. Its a fantastic show. On the surface, the show seems like it should hit all the standard antihero buttons, and it does, but it offers a little something extra along the way that sets it apart. For one, Scott Ryan is able to pull off intimidation scenes flawlessly, and the series uses it to great effect on several occasions. He doesn't have to do anything aside from give a guy that unhinged smile, unblinking stare and your skin starts to crawl in sympathy for his victim. See it once or 100 times, you know that stare, and it always means trouble. That person doesn't care at all if you live of die. You may as well be a bug, which is why that ladybug scene is significant. The bug is harmless and in need of help. The man has made horrible choices and hurt others. Ray holds equal weight for anything living, so what's the difference between a bug and a man? Are they not equally alive? He clearly has a moral code, doesn't kill for pleasure, and it's very possible an innocent bug with a few days to live, struggling to escape a drowning if worth a few seconds of his time, while a man burdened by a history of cheating and fraud is probably better left to rot.
Can't say enough good about this Aussie series. I was lucky enough to stumble upon it years ago. Ray is a badass and a smart ass and flip the coin, a caring and concerned father to his daughter and his sickly brother. What a treasure this series is and it was a pity it was over so quickly. If I could grow another thumb it would be 3 thumbs up for Ray and Mr. Inbetween - lol
This show is incredible. It gets way too many comparisons to Barry and Killing Eve but it stands on it's own unique ground. I really hope it gets a third season.
It's actually a great companion piece to Barry. That show is all about a man trying to escape his life as a hitman. On the other hand, Ray seems to actually enjoy his work.
AMAZING show ... watched, so far, seven times. Just something about it that captures you and keeps you holding on. A day in the life of... Such a brilliant show and best ending. HA! Ranks up there with Breaking Bad. Well done.
I found this completely by accident. Recently binged it (3rd time) with my younger brother. It is (considering it's content and themes) surprisingly funny... tender and heartbreaking. I wholeheartedly support any enterprise that might increase this show's viewership !!
the best australian tv show I have ever seen .... it is a remarkable tale with real issues in a true australian way...GENIUS loved every minute of it..PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SEASON 3 and beyond
As an Aussie I have to chime in and say this is some of the best Aussie produced stuff I’ve ever watched and I am fussy about what I watch. I don’t just automatically like something because it is Australia. Scott Ryan makes it! That grin!
I'm American and I wish you guys made more gritty crime dramas like this, because you nail it a lot of the time. There's something very unique about your cinema and television that I love. Can't wait for season 3, which comes out on May 25 for you guys.
This show is hands down best on telly in recent years. Everything about it, the plot, the cast, the characters, the entire premise. Being released like TV shows of old, watching a new episode each week meant we could find that old anticipation again, for a ridgey didge Aussie made show. The fact he's gone, yeah, I'm done now, time to move on is GOLD.... The story's been told, take what you will from it, was entertaining as f***, and damn anyone who says otherwise. A great bit of fun, good old Australiana style. F yeah!!! Oh, and that's not mentioning the fact it has to be the best, BEST, ending to any series of the last decade, maybe 2. Including fn Fargo, that can suck it Understated, underrated masterpiece!!!
I am in Asia and saw snippets of this show on You tube and it caught my fancy. I ended up binge watching all 3 seasons ! It sure is a hidden gem of a series and Ray's character is awesome and the dude who plays the character brings so much to the character !
You really nailed it in the intro. This was not a watered-down project run by an executive board-room. This was a passion project created by people who fully believed in what they were making. You can feel it in every episode.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, in the UK had heard of this show unless (a) they had Aussie friends or (b) like me, they saw snippets on RUclips and decided to track it down... and then we realised, 'WTF have we been missing?!' One of the top 5 all time shows, is the answer. Yes, I was sad that the show ended after the third season (and, what an ending, it was!!!) but sometimes, it's coolest to hang up the gloves when you're on top.
One of the greatest and underrated shows of ALL time... It has more layers than Shrek standing on a bushel of onions on the roof of a wedding cake factory...
One of the best shows out there. Right now it's my favorite. Hate the fact I missed the first few episodes. Love the character Ray. He is so good to watch. Wonder how that stupid acting coach feels now. Everyone LIKE every RUclips Clip about MR.INBETWEEN. I know their tracking how many ppl watch but let's do all we can to get another season. I haven't looked forward to Thursday night this much since Friends was running.
Came across Mr Inbetween last week on Disney plus. I must say I'm really enjoying the journey with Ray and how he could get in trouble in an empty room. Well worth a look.
I live where a majority of the show is filmed like places ive been 1000s of times and its so damn cool to see such a good show take place where I grew up Really hope more people find it and it gets more seasons. I also suggest checking out Underbelly, its an aussie crime show similar to mr inbetween.
@@roccosiffredi8774 Underbelly stretches over several seasons and covers different states. It depends on which Underbelly you refer to. Personally, I thought the Melbourne series with the Morans was cheesy but I fkn LOVED Matt Newton as Mr Asia. That was a cracker of a season.
Love it! It's Underbelly meets Lock Stock and two smoking barrels. Perfect blend of action/comedy and drama. I don't binge watch series. But this show I did.. It's just not enough to take a bite and leave it to later. When it's such a short series anyway. Barely 30 mins an episode. I agree. Treat it as a movie.

I just finished season 3 and wondered if this was the case. I'm heartbroken but respect that they finished on a high note
He tied up the character arc really well. Impressive bit of writing.
While I appreciate ending the show on a high note, I can't help but feel a bit empty knowing there won't be anymore coming...
I read in an interview he has another story idea brewing only more violent.
But yes Ray's story finished now.

True.
I hear you
'You don't realize the weight your carrying 'till you put it down' - Bruce Shoesmith
He played a brilliant part. As does Ray
I'm a grown man and got teary when he died 😂
ah Brucey, heart breaking
He was so good i actually thought he suffered from that condition
It's the best Aussie show in years....outstanding ! Please let us have a season 3
It got renewed for a third season!
It’s getting one more season and that’s it.
Apparently FX bought season 3 and 4.. so maybe more Ray to come :)
Series 3 starts Tuesday 25/5/2021. Can’t wait
It’s also the best English speaking show.

Coincidence of coincidences, I was out in Aus (Melbourne) back in March visiting my son and on the second day there. walking in a Garden south of St Kilda, saw Scott walking through the garden. Having shouted out "Its the magician" which seemed to please his companion, if not Scott, he looked at me, smiled with all those teeth and put his finger to his lips. Just as scary as in the show. Magic. Made my visit.
Thanks for this video. I'm Australian, I live in Australia, I love this show, and nobody here knows about it! It really *is* as authentic as it seems. The characters all act and talk like normal Australians. I know or have met people exactly like the ones on the show. The events are so believable that I could easily imagine them happening right down the street now (I live just outside Sydney, where it's shot).
We just have to keep telling people about it!
This sounds like something an American would say. 🤔
Haha nah man I’m an Aussie from Sydney too and the reason I just fucking adore this show so much is that it literally feels like something that could have gone on during my time at uni, mixing with some fairly dicey people from the outer western suburbs like the bra boys etc.
This show is so well done and so true to real life that it genuinely brings back nostalgia for me for that era. My coke dealer and (loosely) bra boy roommate was so much like Ray in behavior and mannerisms it’s surprisingly uncanny. The way that the criminals talk and interact and deal with things in the show, it’s all so fucking exact that it makes me suspect that the lead actor also genuinely mixed (but a lot more, and with more serious types) with western suburbs drug dealers and hoods, and that like 80-90% of this show takes inspiration from from lived/observed experience. There’s no other way the show could feel so incredibly real to us people from Sydney, particularly who knew people like that.
I definitely agree it's spot on. But are the Brah's Brogans or Frat boys?
@@RevengeAvenger Bra boys are thugs from the suburb Maroubra (hence the 'bra') who deal in drugs heavily, but many individuals are known for their violence to the extent that it's likely that they engage in a decent amount of small-time non-drug related criminal activity.
If someone associated with them vouches for you they can be really friendly and generous (with their drugs mainly; surplus coke, weed), in a very typically Australian way which you don't see too much of anymore, but you shouldn't let this fool you about them though; to outsiders their behavior can be morally abhorrent. I would get sickened hearing some of their stories when they were hanging out with my mate (the one connected) while I was.
@@edward657 gracias!
Scott Ryan. Outrageous this guy. The magician is different class
Man, I discovered this show the same way: seeing ads for it on RUclips and whatnot. Decided I’d try it out, cause the concept is interesting enough, albeit not wholly unique. But holey moley, I’m so glad I made that decision. I binged every episode up to 3.07 in just over a week. I cannot recommend this show enough. From the acting, to the writing, and everything else, it’s as good a show as I’ve seen in ages. That’s not to say it’s perfect, but it’s quickly become one of my favorite all-time shows.
The worst is when you find a show you love dearly, but have no one to talk about it with, because barely anyone’s heard of it. I’m glad to see everyone who has seen it rave about it, cause it’s definitely deserving.
ep 9 tha grin at the end
One of my favorite shows right now
After watching season 1, read your comment in aussie.
The anger management course is hillarious. We need more of that.
It amazes me how much story and character they can push into 25 minutes but keep the pacing up to where you don’t realize how short it is. “Socks are important” felt like movie length, forgot I was watching a short ep.
My number 1 series ever. It has everything. You will laugh, and you will sob like some Grandmother at points. Great action to boot. Plus, lessons in loyalty and principle. Just incredible. It gets better when you start to research Scott Ryan.
Man, this show is amazing. I can't believe it isn't bigger than it is. The acting, the writing, its brilliant and funny. Love that dude.
I know, right!!😷👊✌
It could get better but two bad it’s the last season
@@anthonytobias5459 what? Are you saying the not yet released season is the last season?
@@HonduDan Yes 😢😢😢
@@anthonytobias5459 Jesus, that sucks but initially I thought you were saying this past season was the last. That's a relief, but this show needs to go for at least 6 seasons.
A brilliant show, smart, intelligent dialogue and a sympathetic protagonist. I genuinely can't find fault in it, brilliant!!!
This is one of the best series on TV right now. Great all around show.
Brit here, clocked some clips on RUclips, gave it a go on Disney+. By far the best thing I’ve seen a long time, just about to finish season 3, the stories are so compelling ( Brucey, dealing with anger management classes, his dad, coping with entitled dipsh*ts, relationships etc) you are rooting for what socially is regarded as bad man but know he truly believes what he is doing is the correct course of action. Sad to see it end, will have to hunt out The Magician. Thank you for doing this synopsis, made me grin seeing rays way of doing things again!
My mate recommended this the other day. Guy is a real movie buff even has a degree in film production so what he recommends is often top notch.
Best Aussie series ever .
Season 2 is even better than the first ....
Ep 4 in season 2 delves more into the dark side .....with little humour ( about a man hiring Ray to find out what happened to his daughter who disappeared years ago).
This episode is a masterpiece ....it stays with you long after it's finished & has you thinking ...as a parent how far would you go to find out what happened
What an episode ! Darren did you notice who the father was ? Tiriel Mora. Martin deStasio from Frontline. Darryl Kerrigans lawyer from The Castle. "Ahh its the vibe ... it s Mabo ... yeah but its mainly the vibe ... "
@@deanlaffan2390 Mora absolutely nailed his performance,
when he was telling Ray about the case, omg i couldn't breathe, So good.
@@rooster4429 The casting dept in MRIB has excelled themselves.
You got that right left an impression on me I'll never forget. Help get me off drugs when I was going through some hard times life better now but why did I have to take good shows like this away?
The ending was one of the most dramatic and emotional scenes in any movie or TV show I've ever seen. At first I wondered why it end there. Then I thought what would I have done.... yeah, you can't put that on a screen of any size.
On the other hand
The kitchen sink scene had me cracking up. Picture yourself walking the dog some night, and you go by the house of the known sex offender in the neighborhood and see that.... I'd stand and watch while letting the dog shit in his yard, _AGAIN._
Im doing a slow binge of this series. REALLY good.
couldn't have asked for a more fun ending. from the song choice, to the smile, and the looking at the camera for the first time, like he knew we'd been following him through the show. fucking amazing.
It is the best show I’ve seen in decades. I learned from this video that Scott Ryan waited 10 years to do it right and refused compromise - and it was absolutely worth it.
I have literally binge watched all 3 seasons like 5 times each! BEST Australian show ever.
Weirdly I’ve only just watched it 2024. How I hadn’t heard of it before when it’s so damned good I don’t know. He’s as cold as ice, a ruthless merciless killer and yet you can’t help liking him. He’s a hit man yet he’s so relatable. It’s the little things mostly , everyday observations, the relationships, god you could rave all day about it. That mad smile, it’s up there with Jack Nicholson crazy grin. I love the guy and want to see more of him so spread the word to everyone you know!
I was instantly hooked. "Socks Are Important" was intense.
Non-stop hold your breath tension! Best episode yet!
Excellent episode
Your mums got a strong box was my fav....
Loved how he killed those creeps at the end.
@@michaelspears7116 Exactly
I would have liked several more seasons but respect that we got the 3.
This is the best show on TV right now. I hope it gets renewed for a 3rd season
I saw this 2 years ago and was completely amazed.
This is my favorite show of all time. I’ve rewatched it probably 3 or 4 times. It’s so authentic feeling and nothing ridiculous happens just to push it along it’s just realistic almost to a point. The soundtrack is stellar as well.
Mr Inbetween was the best series I've seen in years, each show was packed with exciting moments
and not knowing what is coming next. Sadly enough it was cancelled after the second episode.
All of my friends and relatives also liked this show "BRING IT BACK Now".
i hope ya didnt kick tha bucket m8 after ep 2
How was it cancelled after the second episode?
It wasn't cancelled..
I binged this show in like 2-3 days and I'm already hyped for a season 3. Such an amazing show I was hooked
I did watches the whole series in one night
A fellow WKUK fan! You’re a rare find. I’ve loved that show for decades!
It's one of my favorite shows ever. It's dark, hilarious, and human. Scott Ryan should be internationally famous.
One of my favorite shows. I recommend it all the time
LOVE this show
I don't care what people say. The actor/director basicly made a story about either his own life or some of his friends life. This whole thing is too real and genuine.
I was thinking the same thing lol Big fan
HE ACTUALLY WENT TO FILM SCHOOL AND DEVELOPED HIS OWN SCRIPT FOR HIS LOW BUDGET MOVIE THE MAGICIAN. IT WAS FILMED ON BY ONE OTHER STUDENT WHO ALSO PLAYS A PART IN THE FILM FOLLOWING AN EX SOLDIOER AROUND AS HE PLIED HIS TRADE AS A HIT A HITMAN AND A STAND OVER MAN IN NEW SOUTH WALES AUSTRALIA. THIS LATER BECAME WHAT YOU SEE HERE A MULTI SEASON HIT SHOW THAT LITERALLY TAKES YOU BY SUPRISE ON A CULTURAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL LEVEL WITH PLENTY OF ACTION ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A GENRE AS SUBJECTIVE AS THIS. Just realised i had caps on.
This show is pure gold. My brother took a chance on it out of boredom and recommended it to me. Now I’m the one who can’t recommend it strongly enough.
The last minute of the last episode was hands-down my most favourite bit of television in a looooooong time.
100% 🔥
The second season, ugh. I teared up a lot. I want nice things for Ray and the shit just hit the fan this season. I hope he has a better year next season.
Yeah the last episode, his life just went arse up.
I've literally just watched The Magician, and I thought it was pretty sick. I MUST watch this series asap
One of the best shows ever made. I got lucky and watched from the beginning and then went back to watch the short and then the Magician. Although it's over, I am eagerly awaiting Scott's other productions.
the shorts algorithm hooked me with clips from this show. scott ryan is genuinely mesmerizing in this role.
This is a banger, the lead actor is so authentic to his character it leaves chills down my spine. This is one of the best Australia production in a while, we want more pls
This show is so stupidly ignored, it's absolutely phenomenal, and I've never seen word 1 outside of searching for it, and it's one of the best shows currently on.
It does this amazing thing where the violence is completely apathetic, it's just there, it happens, it's a part of life, it doesn't matter...then in one instant it switches around and makes it matter entirely ("Sorry. I gotta go".).
And the lead actor is an absolute revelation as Ray Shoesmith, he knows all of his strengths, and delivers perfectly on every level possible, there's not a single moment where the screen belongs to anyone else. It's just captivating the way he reacts to the littlest things.
If this show gets cancelled, it'll be one of the worst cancellations of all time.
I saw one article where it was mentioned. Back when it came out there was an article at the end of the year that was a "hit or miss first season shows" I believe was the name of the article, they said the show wasn't either a hit or a miss
@@stonerman2096 I would agree with this. I've watched a few episodes. It kind of just... exists.
There's not much happening, it's pretty slow, but it's not a bad show 🤷♂️ so far
Mr Inbetween is one of the best, most interesting and original shows I've seen in the last 20 years. No exaggeration, so underrated, so good.
Only got put onto this show by a mate, never heard of it before, best series I've ever seen.
One of the best and classiest series finales of all time. So refreshing to not feel like the writers got bored at the end. Looking at you game of thrones, lost, dexter!
It’s a bloody great show. So underrated.
ALL I WANNA DO IS WATCH MR INBETWEEN.
I plan my work lunch schedules around airtime.
But howwwww???? Omg I can't find it anywhere and I hate it

JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU DAN... (incidentally now subscribed and 👍)..
.. thank you for introducing me to this PHENOMENALLY written, acted and directed show. After watching this video back in February I watched more scenes on RUclips then decided to start watching it on Prime.. and the fact that it's now over with all 3 Seasons fully ingested...I'm left wanting selfishly MORE as I feel like a family member or good friend is gone. Mr Inbetween was a trifecta: as it made me LAUGH.. WEEP.. CHEER. Rare for a show or film to have that kinda multiple impact. BUT MORE importantly it taught me certain aspects about life and what it means to be a man.. how to be a friend ...a good parent... and how to react when we fail at those endeavors. ALL THIS it taught me while never forgetting the fact what Ray did "for a living"... and how the kind of man it takes to do such vile things is formed WITHOUT blaming childhood events directly for this OWN evil acts. THUS his inner YING and YANG tussle... creating the conflict within him... i.e. THAT WHICH MAKES US ALL HUMAN.
I can go on but I'll leave it to the modern Siskell and Ebert's to sing its praises better than I ever could.
Thanks again Dan. I'll check your channel regularly, hopefully find some new gems.
🖖
wow THANK YOU!
A while back I watched Fargo, loved it, then Atlanta, loved it, and I started to give FX programming a very serious look. Mr. Inbetween piqued my interest after I finished season 2 of Atlanta, and I watched the whole first season in one sitting, staying up way, way too late. Season 2 of Mr. Inbetween was another all night session a couple days ago, ending with some puffy eyes. Its a fantastic show.
On the surface, the show seems like it should hit all the standard antihero buttons, and it does, but it offers a little something extra along the way that sets it apart. For one, Scott Ryan is able to pull off intimidation scenes flawlessly, and the series uses it to great effect on several occasions. He doesn't have to do anything aside from give a guy that unhinged smile, unblinking stare and your skin starts to crawl in sympathy for his victim. See it once or 100 times, you know that stare, and it always means trouble. That person doesn't care at all if you live of die. You may as well be a bug, which is why that ladybug scene is significant. The bug is harmless and in need of help. The man has made horrible choices and hurt others. Ray holds equal weight for anything living, so what's the difference between a bug and a man? Are they not equally alive? He clearly has a moral code, doesn't kill for pleasure, and it's very possible an innocent bug with a few days to live, struggling to escape a drowning if worth a few seconds of his time, while a man burdened by a history of cheating and fraud is probably better left to rot.
For sure man, it’s a fantastically done show. I wish they had more seasons. I rewatch it quite frequently
Can't say enough good about this Aussie series. I was lucky enough to stumble upon it years ago.
Ray is a badass and a smart ass and flip the coin, a caring and concerned father to his daughter and his sickly brother.
What a treasure this series is and it was a pity it was over so quickly. If I could grow another thumb it would be 3 thumbs up for Ray and Mr. Inbetween - lol
Can re watch this show often and it never gets old. The best show to ever be produced in Australia.
Ray is fkn hilarious and criminally underrated. Amazing show.
Top 3 most underrated shows of all time, in no particular order; Kingdom (MMA), Banshee, Mr Inbetween
This show is incredible. It gets way too many comparisons to Barry and Killing Eve but it stands on it's own unique ground. I really hope it gets a third season.
It's actually a great companion piece to Barry. That show is all about a man trying to escape his life as a hitman. On the other hand, Ray seems to actually enjoy his work.
@@charliedawson4877 He actually really does after having watched the last few eps (don't want to spoil it for you in case you haven't though)
Last episode I saw was the post break up one. I love the domestic stuff, but I do hope we get more work related stories in the last two episodes.
@@charliedawson4877 Oh yeah I think we're coming back to that after the breakup.
I'm waiting to see what Davros' brother has planned.
AMAZING show ... watched, so far, seven times. Just something about it that captures you and keeps you holding on. A day in the life of... Such a brilliant show and best ending. HA! Ranks up there with Breaking Bad. Well done.
Best show on TV today.
Yeah, this show is magic. One of the rare shows I have to watch every week.
Funny you call it magic.... have you seen it's predecessor? The Magician?
Even better
Hard agree.
Great recommendation, after seeing this video I decided to give it a shot- binged it hard and it became one of my fav shows.
Thank you!
I can't believe this Aussie show wasn't on TV and on fox , damn...
I watched all 3 seasons in a weekend. An incredible show and tour de force. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Waited every Friday night to watch this show can't believe how good it is. Please have season 3
I found this completely by accident. Recently binged it (3rd time) with my younger brother. It is (considering it's content and themes) surprisingly funny... tender and heartbreaking. I wholeheartedly support any enterprise that might increase this show's viewership !!
The last 2 seconds is the best ending of anything ever. Brilliant.
So I am late to the party, I have only just stumbled across this gem of a show. I don't understand the ending though?? Please explain!!
@@Holster23the two young guys think theyre about to rob/kill an unsuspecting taxi driver, but its ray fucking shoesmith.

Thanks for posting this is a fabulous series
the best australian tv show I have ever seen .... it is a remarkable tale with real issues in a true australian way...GENIUS loved every minute of it..PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SEASON 3 and beyond
This show was like "Banshee" not enough media plugging, it's a shame as it was 1st class! Great writing and acting.
As an Aussie I have to chime in and say this is some of the best Aussie produced stuff I’ve ever watched and I am fussy about what I watch. I don’t just automatically like something because it is Australia. Scott Ryan makes it! That grin!
I'm American and I wish you guys made more gritty crime dramas like this, because you nail it a lot of the time. There's something very unique about your cinema and television that I love. Can't wait for season 3, which comes out on May 25 for you guys.
I watched the hole series---For gods sake bring it back !
This show is hands down best on telly in recent years. Everything about it, the plot, the cast, the characters, the entire premise. Being released like TV shows of old, watching a new episode each week meant we could find that old anticipation again, for a ridgey didge Aussie made show. The fact he's gone, yeah, I'm done now, time to move on is GOLD.... The story's been told, take what you will from it, was entertaining as f***, and damn anyone who says otherwise. A great bit of fun, good old Australiana style. F yeah!!! Oh, and that's not mentioning the fact it has to be the best, BEST, ending to any series of the last decade, maybe 2. Including fn Fargo, that can suck it Understated, underrated masterpiece!!!
Oh, and his best mate is such an equally intriguing but hilarious offset, expertly written, also superbly played
I am in Asia and saw snippets of this show on You tube and it caught my fancy. I ended up binge watching all 3 seasons ! It sure is a hidden gem of a series and Ray's character is awesome and the dude who plays the character brings so much to the character !
hidden gem this one
You really nailed it in the intro. This was not a watered-down project run by an executive board-room. This was a passion project created by people who fully believed in what they were making. You can feel it in every episode.
Top 3 show of all time. Easily the most underrated. Ray is the best friend you could ever have.
Just finished it.
Still high on that "run" final scene.
Can you please name your 2 other top shows of all time?
dude can you share you list ?
This was a great show.
This was one of the best shows ever made. Absolutely love his character 👍
Nobody, and I mean nobody, in the UK had heard of this show unless (a) they had Aussie friends or (b) like me, they saw snippets on RUclips and decided to track it down... and then we realised, 'WTF have we been missing?!'
One of the top 5 all time shows, is the answer.
Yes, I was sad that the show ended after the third season (and, what an ending, it was!!!) but sometimes, it's coolest to hang up the gloves when you're on top.
I binged the whole 3 seasons a couple of weeks ago. I haven't done that since Breaking Bad.
Mr Inbetween is that good. 😊
Loved this series, amazing acting from the main actor playing Ray, highly recommended this show. In my top 5 favorites
One of the greatest and underrated shows of ALL time... It has more layers than Shrek standing on a bushel of onions on the roof of a wedding cake factory...
Thanks for this, I'd seen it on the list of shows but never gave it a chance.
Great fucking show.
One of the best shows out there. Right now it's my favorite. Hate the fact I missed the first few episodes. Love the character Ray. He is so good to watch. Wonder how that stupid acting coach feels now.
Everyone LIKE every RUclips Clip about MR.INBETWEEN. I know their tracking how many ppl watch but let's do all we can to get another season. I haven't looked forward to Thursday night this much since Friends was running.
Came across Mr Inbetween last week on Disney plus. I must say I'm really enjoying the journey with Ray and how he could get in trouble in an empty room. Well worth a look.
I live where a majority of the show is filmed like places ive been 1000s of times and its so damn cool to see such a good show take place where I grew up
Really hope more people find it and it gets more seasons.
I also suggest checking out Underbelly, its an aussie crime show similar to mr inbetween.
Lazlack + thanks,i will. I checked Netflix. Not there. Where can I find Underbelly?
Is it Sydney or Melbourne?
@@nadjano5948 sydney
Magician shot in Melbourne
This is shot in Sydney..
Underbelly is cheesy
@@roccosiffredi8774 Underbelly stretches over several seasons and covers different states. It depends on which Underbelly you refer to. Personally, I thought the Melbourne series with the Morans was cheesy but I fkn LOVED Matt Newton as Mr Asia. That was a cracker of a season.
Great show.... totally awesome on so many levels.
I just binged s1 and s2 great show
Don’t forget the third season
My fav tv show last couple years hands down !!
Love it! It's Underbelly meets Lock Stock and two smoking barrels. Perfect blend of action/comedy and drama. I don't binge watch series. But this show I did.. It's just not enough to take a bite and leave it to later. When it's such a short series anyway. Barely 30 mins an episode. I agree. Treat it as a movie.
Loved this show
Excellent show. Highly recommended.
