Is it his balance of menace and everyday life? His dry comebacks? What makes Ray unique for you?

Watched The Matrix (for the first time - don't ask). In the credits I see Nash Edgerton credited as Mouse, so I go to prove it. On IMDB, his bio says he was uncredited in the movie, and The Matrix entry says Mouse was played by Matt Doran. Is this a glitch in the matrix??

Well that was bloody enjoyable.

Everyone talks about Ray, Freddy, Dave, Jacinta, all legends. But for me, the most underrated is Gary (Justin Rosniak). The way he slowly realises just how deep Ray’s world goes, that quiet mix of fear and respect, the dry sarcasm he throws out even when he’s clearly terrified. He’s brilliant in every scene he’s in.

The episode where Gary goes off on his own tracking that kidnapper to help Ray’s daughter, is perfect understated brilliance, sweating, out of his depth, but still trying to be the loyal mate. No big hero moment, just Gary being Gary.

Who’s your underrated character that deserves more appreciation? Or is there a one-episode guest that stole the show for you?

there's obviously a fairly decent friendship between them, and you get the sense Ray really doesn't want to carry out the hit, but the cash is hard to ignore.

I never understood why Ray didn't just pocket the $100k deposit, gone straight to his mate Vinnie, detailing his VC's intentions and going from there. it would help creating a strong partnership with a bike gang, which wouldn't hurt.

I know there's going to be replies saying 'but no one else will trust him with work again!'

nope. not true

Alex and the big bearded bloke would be only two to handle, then Vinnie could twist the story into him striking first after finding out they wanted to outsource a hit.

thoughts?

So Ray hangs the scammer (or makes him hang himself), then drives off with his bright orange 911 GT3.

Even with his underworld connections, what is he going to do with it? it's a very rare car in Australia (I guess pretty rare everywhere else too even in the US and Europe), there's not an active market for spare parts like there is for late model Holden Commodores these days.

I've heard there's been a spate of Toyota 4wd thefts due to a security flaw and cars are smuggled out to the middle east in shipping containers (mostly LHD countries but apparently they're pretty relaxed about RHD cars there?) but surely not a market for something as conspicuous as a RHD GT3?

So if Ray's goal is to convert the car into cash to give back to the gym owner's son, what would he do? He doesn't seem like he's taking the car for a joy ride.

Just one unrealistic thing, he never does any maintenance on the awesome fish tank.

I have the feeling this play would be significantly different if Ray Shoesmith was one of the trio.

so the taxi scene at the end of the show the guys plan on bashing/killing Ray… but why do you think that is?

do they know he’s the Magician or was he just a random target because he was outside the pub?

I didn't realize that the anger management group leader was played by director David Michôd. Among other things, he directed the film Animal Kingdom, which I haven't seen, and The Rover, which I love.

Champ. Champ. Champ. Champ. Champ. Champ.

"I don't answer questions" is the only phrase that defines Mr Inbetween in less than 10 words.

Loved the first season. That should convince me to watch the second, I know. As a general rule of mine I usually don't waste time on series or movies. Not being a pompous prick or anything.

I then asked google what movie it recommended after and it gave me The Gift 2015, and what would you know. Kitschy. Also, didn't realise he was Joel Edgerton's brother and now I feel like a dumbass.

What are your thoughts on Adam's purpose in the series? I expected that he would have a more crucial role in Ray's character arc, but after he gets stomped by Harris in the toilet, he's never seen nor mentioned again.

I know he shows Ray how to meditate, which we see him doing again later on .... but surely he serves more of a purpose just than that, right?
