Written by and starring Australia’s favourite young comedian, Josh Thomas, the uniquely honest comedy/drama series PLEASE LIKE ME kicks off on ABC2 with a double episode.

With his 21st birthday just around the corner, life finally seems to be coming together for Josh (Josh Thomas). He's sharing a house with his best (and only) friend, Tom (Tom Ward), his dog, John, and Tom's rabbit, $haniqua, and he’s doing adult things like cooking roast chickens and eating asparagus.

But the events of one day throw his world into chaos. He’s dumped by his girlfriend, Claire (Caitlin Stasey), and introduced to a decidedly odd but very attractive man, Geoffrey (Wade Briggs). And when his divorced mum, Rose (Debra Lawrance), overdoses on pain killers, Josh is forced to move back into the family home to keep an eye on her. If that's not enough, he has to deal with his dad Alan’s (David Roberts) guilt over his ex-wife and clumsy attempts to hide his new, younger girlfriend, Mae (Renee Lim). It’s all a bit more than Josh had planned for – which was just to plate up a tasty dinner.

All of a sudden it seems as though everyone’s lives are in disarray and Josh is at the centre of it all. For someone with an aversion to confrontation, drama and emotion in general, there are some big challenges ahead for Josh – challenges he can only deal with in his own awkward, self-centred, and always hilariously frank way.

Based on the award-winning comedy of Josh Thomas, the six-part series PLEASE LIKE ME is about cavoodles, custard tarts, boyfriends and girlfriends. Mostly, though, it's about growing up quickly and realising that your parents are not heroes, but big dopes with no idea what’s going on – just like you.

[Alexa]

finale tomorrow! read it was a good one!

[AlwaysCB]

can't wait!

[Alexa]

who is that in your icon juliana?

do we know if its getting a second series? we dont, right?

ETA:

good last episode! the josh/geoffrey stuff was sad, but i think geoffrey was right for saying no to josh because it does seem to be true, josh only wants him around when hes feeling down. i would like to see them get back together next season (if we get one) but josh is gonna have to prove that he really cares. geoffrey is so sweet, coming to the wake and helping out.

it didnt feel like a finale, but i think most things were wrapped up.

[Alexa]

heard this was renewed for season 2! yay! i wonder when the premiere is!

[AlwaysCB]

oh I never saw your question, I have no idea which icon I was using

[Simon Spier]

I'm glad this is back, too. I hope Josh is less annoying, though.

[Simon Spier]
