I've loved Josh Thomas for years so I'm excited to see he has his own show. Looking forward to watching. He's hilarious and very smart.

I believe they aired episode 1 and 2 together.

Yeah, I think that is the case too -- but a bit odd when there will be just 6 episodes. Anthony uploaded part of Josh's storyline:

At first I didn't get the humour, but now I'm starting to get into it. Josh is kinda adorable and Wade - seriously how pretty is he?!?!

Yeah, the show is rather awkward, but I like the quirky sense of humor. My favorite comedies with gay storylines tend to be the Australian ones -- Winners and Losers or Offspring for example and Please Like Me is moving up in the ranks in my personal scale.
Also, I agree that Wade Briggs is seriously pretty -- the picture I posted above does not do him justice.

Episode blurb for the next episode (highlight to read): Next: 1x03 -- Portuguese Custard Tarts (Mar/07/2013)
When the God-fearing Aunty Peg catches Josh and Geoffrey making out, she wastes no time blackmailing Josh into going to church with her.
Tom and his overbearing girlfriend, Niamh, get into a huge fight and Tom finally admits he's had enough. Josh receives a drunken phone call from his dad, desperate for Josh to rescue him and his new sports car. Alan gets to meet Geoffrey, who has no qualms telling Alan the truth about his relationship with Josh.
Back at Tom's house, things are getting steamy between Tom and Josh's ex-girlfriend, Claire, but their night of passion is interrupted when Josh and Geoffrey arrive with a drunken father in tow.
The next morning, somehow everyone agrees to go to church, where they find themselves listening to a priest delivering a fire and brimstone anti-gay sermon. Suddenly outraged, the usually pious and often prickly Aunty Peg rises to her feet to defend Josh and unwittingly outs him to his mum in the process.
Afterwards, Josh is desperate for the focus to be taken off him, and right on cue, Tom arrives with some big news.Source: www.tvrage.com/shows/id-34423

This is seriously my new favorite show. I love the awkwardness because it's more adorable than cringe-worthy and the show in general is really entertaining.

Here is a longer blurb about episode 4 (highlight to read): Josh has decided that Geoffrey is just too intense and has broken up with him.
Meanwhile, Rose has decided she wants to try online dating. With some tips from Josh, it doesn't take her long to land a date. She meets Rod, an affable but not-very-interesting Rotarian with very few redeeming features, who takes her to an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant for their first date.
With his mum out on a date, Josh and Tom hijack Claire from a costume party and decide to head out for the sort of fun night they used to have before partners got in the way. But Josh hadn't counted on the budding romance between his only two friends.
Josh does his best to make himself scarce by chatting to a nice guy at the bar. Everything looks to be going his way, until the bar guy's friends, who clearly don't approve of Josh, step in. A crestfallen Josh returns home alone, but his night may not be over. Source: www.tvrage.com/shows/id-34423And here is a promo clip courtesy of ABC2: Geoffrey in a wet t-shirt is a sight to behold

I'm enjoying this, even though I'm not a particular fan of Josh Thomas.
The writing's good, and the acting's not bad. Josh's accent is strange, though, considering both his parents in the show have broad Aussie accents.

Spoilers for the next episode (highlight to read): Rose confronts Alan about his younger girlfriend, Mae, which sparks a heated argument.
Geoffrey surprises Josh with tickets for the footy. Josh tries to be polite and involved, but it's clear that he's out of his depth. Geoffrey, meanwhile, is having the time of his life barracking for his team. He gets carried away and finds himself and Josh ejected from the game.
The humiliation is too much for Josh, and it's over between them... again.
Meanwhile the arguing between Rose and Alan rages out onto the street, until Aunty Peg unwittingly puts an end to it all.

Spoilers for the sixth episode (highlight to read): Josh's 21st birthday is lost among preparations for a funeral.
When Alan drops by to check up on Rose, he's pleased that she seems the most stable she's ever been. She is active, focused and surprisingly calm, and she insists on meeting Mae and inviting her to the funeral.
In church, Claire entertains Rose with embarrassing stories about Josh to keep her distracted before the service. Niamh also arrives uninvited and sits up the back with Geoffrey, who has no choice but to comfort her.
Back at Rose's house, the wake is an awkward affair. Dad has found himself in a conversation with Rod that can't be anything but a disaster, Niamh is annoying everybody, and Josh is happy for Geoffrey to be there, even though they have just broken up. While Rose's celebrations for Josh's birthday don't quite go according to plan, it's definitely going to be a birthday Josh won't forget. Source: www.tvrage.com/shows/id-34423

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.
