Lunatics - Season 1
It is a series of diverse comics that we live through six people who live their lives in a strange way. It seems that these people are idiots who behave differently and walk in strange rhythms. The events of the series begin where Gavin and his colleagues participate in 'lit activities' almost different. Meanwhile, Quentin tries to become an artist on the streets unexpectedly, and Jana is looking for her vegetables, and Joyce has catastrophic financial problems in that period.

I'm sure Lilley is capturing different Australian types and language registers better than I can appreciate, but still the whole thing looks and feels like a ragbag of choices that neither hang together per character or per show.

With 10 episodes at an interminable 40 minutes each, there's just too much material here to slog through.

The jokes, such as they are, wear down within minutes, making the relatively-brief 35-minute runtime into an unbearable slog.

What should Chris Lilley do next? It's a question worth asking because, if you have watched his new Netflix series, Lunatics, you will have realised that the thing he currently does isn't very good.

The show is set up as an irreverent, bold exploration of weirdos and identity - Lilley probably wants you to be outraged - but it mostly feels like a bunch of tame sketches that overstayed their welcome.
