Mamamia Reviews

It's the show that Australia didn't even know it needed. The Other Guy, Matt Okine's new show, is a raw, refreshing and tragic look at modern dating, and it breaks all the rules of network TV. We go behind the scenes with the breakout star, Harriet Dyer, who tells us exactly why it's so different. Will and Grace is the latest show to jump on the reboot bandwagon - but has the world moved on from the 90’s sitcom? Plus, is A Typical on Netflix the most important representation of Autism we have ever seen on screens? Or does it miss the mark? And remember when Pacey on Dawson's Creek slept with his teacher? We look at some of the most ridiculous things that happened on our favourite teen TV shows that just wouldn’t fly now…

Can you believe we went an entire week without seeing a single boat? Is this even The Bachelor? Instead we took to the skies and discovered some of Matty J's dealbreakers. If you're afraid of heights, you're out. If you don't want to procreate, see ya later. Plus, out of 22 girls, is it possible that one or two might not be in love with Matty already? HOW COULD IT BE SO? It's definitely, 100 per cent UnREAL.

Death, dragons, and damn, Daenerys. Game of Thrones Season 7 just seared through its most epic battle yet, before it melted our hearts with a family reunion. But was there a Stark plot warning amongst the fight scenes? Kylie Jenner's reality show has finally hit screens - we review it so you don't have to watch it. Hot lawyer drama Suits is dragging us through court for another season, but should this Netflix hit have removed itself from proceedings? There's a 90's Aussie drama that everyone missed, and it just might be the hidden gem you've been looking for. Plus, Clare finds a comedy that speaks to heavy drinking uni-students, and Laura has some 90's nostalgia that makes the perfect weekend viewing.

In heartbreaking Bachie news, our Love Coach is now on the hunt for a new boyfriend (and probably a new job.) And could Matty have found his new (Georgia) love already? Laura nabbed the first kiss and emerged as a front runner, but are the producers just trying to throw us off the scent of kooky Cobie? Plus, we have a new segment - What Would a Feminist Do? Call the pod phone and let us know what you think about this conundrum. Bach Chat - the only Bachelor podcast that talks about Russian politics.

Someone call Tina Fey, The Bachelor just ripped off Mean Girls. The 'posse' of plastics - Jen, Sian and Leah - are taking us back to high school. They've got their claws out and no one is safe. Not even Tahitian princess Elora. But could our very sweet and provincial Matty fall for an exotic French speaking goddess? Parlez vous huh? We guess that's a no. Plus, there's not one, but THREE water dates. But we won't make any wet jokes here.

We hope you packed your moist towelettes, this is going to be a dirty season. There's putrid dresses and even more putrid cat-fights. Yes, The Bachelor is back and it has brought with it some flame-throwing, ribbon twirling, grass-cutting women willing to fight to the death for Matty’s dangly bits. Who will get a rose? Who will Matty show his secret garden to? Who will get drunk and confess to a crime? We've already got ourselves a Georgia Love lookalike, an Insta-stalker and TWO mean girl villains to rival Regina George. Game on moles.

Does Osher Gunsberg sleep at the Bachie Mansion? What is Matty J’s dealbreaker? Does The Bachelor Season 5 end happily ever after? If you’ve been thinking any of these questions, then you are in luck. Laura and Clare are joined by Matty J and Osher Gunsberg to talk about all things Bachelor. Plus, Ozark is the new show that has dropped on Netflix with Laura Linney and Jason Bateman, but is it worth watching? And Growing Up Gracefully may just be the best thing on Aussie TV since the Chaser, so why is nobody talking about it?

Confused about whose arm appeared out of the trap door on the first episode of this season’s Game Of Thrones? Wondering what Arya Stark’s face swapping means for the rest of the season? Appalled by the fact that Ed Sheeran was on the show? If you’re feeling all the feels about Game of Thrones you are not alone, Clare and Laura are here to talk you through everything, especially why Ed Sheeran really shouldn’t have been on the show. Plus, host of Ninja Warrior Ben Fordham speaks to Laura about why he would never have a go on the Ninja course, and who he hopes to see on the show in Season 2. Doctor Who just became the most important TV show of the year for a very (very) good reason. But people aren’t happy. And Laura tries to convince Clare to watch Tom Hardy’s new show, Taboo. But will she be successful?
