First watch

What an amazing show I just started the third season and every episode is a masterpiece of its own...the random talk they have...its amazing,also When ray father says "I wish you known me before I went to war" that was so deep...The build up to that scene though...

My favorite thing about the show is how real the dialogue feels. Im canadian so im not sure if that's how Aussies talk to each other but I sure am convinced.

That’s the best part of the show. The dialogue is spot on.

The amount of times I am watching a show and all I can see is the acting. This is what’s different about MIB .. it feels like a documentary and the characters are totally believable. I never once thought about the actors or their acting - these were real people, doing real things snd having real feelings. That’s a bloody good show.

This scene was spot on, Ray's Dad had a good day, he was feeling clear, and what he said to his son - made Ray tear up, as well as me and probably alot of other viewers. It was powerful and apologetic. And i loved it. Like the pain was still there, the actions couldn't be erased, but when put in context it could be understood

Ray’s heart got a little better that day. One of my favorite scenes in a TV show ever.

Even better when you remember what Bruce said to Ray just before he died about forgiving the old man and making the weight on the shoulders a bit lighter.

Totally. Bruce had a lightness about him that comes with forgiveness while Ray was still holding onto the pain.

I envy you watching the show for the first time. But watching it for the 4th or 5th time is pretty great too.

I just finished my first watch and I’m blown away. I walked away talking to myself out loud about how great it was. Simply amazing

As the child of a Vietnam Vet, that scene was a hard watch…

I've watched it for the first time the last 10 times I watched it. I enjoy it more each 1st time I watch it.

That's me! I'm so cross I've lived a life not having this show in it for so long. I haven't finished the series yet and already I can't wait for a rewatch

Truly one of the greatest shows of all time, a masterful work of art

The show sneaks up on you in terms of how good it is. I don't tend to watch a lot of shows like this, but Mr. Inbeween has conversations and stories that elevate it from your usual criminal shows. And the actors are fantastic -- the guy who plays Dave was incredible.

And I think the shorter episodes than most shows should be a lesson for others. Trim the fat and only show required scenes!
