No, not in the sense that I am asking anyone to like me ^_^ It is a TV show that I saw advertised by that title.

It is on a cable station that is not carried on my provider. I saw an advert for it and it caught my attention so I was wondering if anyone has seen it, can comment on it and/or can suggest a way to easily (and without paying) to watch it on line (assuming it is worth it).

Here is the synopsis of the first two episodes:

Written by and starring Australia’s favourite young comedian, Josh Thomas, the uniquely honest comedy/drama series PLEASE LIKE MEkicks 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.

Sorry. I have been very busy and I have to dig it out of my archives. I only make it on days that end in "y". Old joke. Actually I have not made in in a few years now. But, I did promise it to you and I shall deliver. The recipe, not the pie.

Best regards,

No hurry, and you know I am just yanking your chain :smile: I do promise to make it once I get it and will give a detailed full review. To get through the week, I went out and got an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie at a local fruit farm that has its own bakery. Did I mention it was awesome? :smile:

Best regards,
