Let's talk about 'Let's Talk About'. It's no secret that I am television obsessed, and when it comes to television there's nothing I love more than supporting quality, Australian made content. Presto, the Australian based online streaming service, shares this viewpoint. Speaking at the Melbourne screening today, their pride in being able to provide a platform for 'Let's Talk About' was palpable, saying that their decision to support this series was an immediate yes.
Created and produced by father/daughter duo Bryan and Matilda Brown, the series revolves around Claire and Ben, facing the challenges associated with becoming parents, all while being in a new relationship. They're short on money, scared and unsure, but as they embrace their new life - "the never ending roller coaster" they grow together to form their own unique, family dynamic with a lot of humour and heart. Ben's journey to becoming a father is particularly sweet.

And one of the series' most interesting aspects? It's short form. Each episode runs for 3 to 6 minutes, so you can have the joy of binge watching an entire series without any of the guilt (well, let's be honest, when it comes to watching television I never really feel guilty). It's easy to think that the short episode length means compromises on story line or content will be made, but there's nothing superficial about this series. It was surprising to see just how much you can fit into these bite sized and snappy episodes, from heated, emotion fueled conversations, to some really sweet and touching moments. Despite covering ~9 months in approximately 40 minutes of footage, it never feels like the story line's moving forward too quickly, the episodes have a lovely flow and sense of continuity.
'Let's Talk About' premieres tomorrow, the 30th of October exclusive to Presto. Luckily for you their 30 day trial subscription means you can watch it for free by signing up here ! (While you're there also check out their previous work, Lessons From The Grave. It's brilliant).
