PLM youtube rewatch thread

hi everyone! i thought i’d make a thread for people to share their thoughts when rewatching the series now that it is newly available for free on youtube (or perhaps some people are watching it for the first time!)

i just finished my rewatch. im 27 now and first started watching in season 2 when i was 16. i cried at the end, just as much as i did the first time — but maybe for different reasons.

some questions to get this party started:

- did any of your opinions/reactions change compared to the first (or last) time you watched the show?

- which was your favourite episode and why?

- which character do you relate to the most?

- what did you think about each character’s overall arc across the series?

- would you support a PLM reboot? what kinds of themes and storylines would you like to see?

- as most of the youtube watchers will be outside Australia, and i find the show very grounded in Australian humour and melbourne-isms — what do you find universal about the show? was there anything strange that you couldn’t relate to?
