Very interesting and so "now"
I'm finding this series very interesting and certainly eye opening.
Nice to see a high quality Australian drama which isn't cringeworthy and with fresh talent.

Great Australian Drama
Well acted, interesting storyline. Such a topical subject.
To see the blatent sexism that exists in this school is frightening.
This explains in detail why we need to be so carefull of sharing
sexually explicit pics. Would be beneficial for teenagers to see.
Well worth a look.

So uncomfortable, but so "necessary"
Wow, such an uncomfortable topic. You can see the damage that will come. And it keeps coming. And the injustices.
But so well told, beautifully acted by the young cast.
And, I'm no film critic, but the whole production, the atmosphere was excellent.

Educational TV series about Sexting
Australian short television drama about the consequences of sexting. What can be a bit of harmless fun between two individuals can backfire and cause all sorts of dilema for those involved, and other people, now and into the future. There is a bit of stereotyping in the written script, but this actually highlights the understanding of generation gaps, religious or ethnic harm caused by, and reaction by some subcultures. I would recommend this series as honest educational resource to watch at same time with your adolescence children at the start of highschool (at home together), as an excellent tool regarding online participation.

Timely Classic
A timely classic that is thought-provoking and much needed for all: students, parents and teachers. A rare gem that makes for the very best drama series in 2019. A beautifully written, wonderfully crafted show that will hunt your beliefs and allow you the chance to question your own ideas. The Hunting will force you to take a closer look and share a constructive conversation with fellow viewers. An absolute must. Highly recommended.

The most power educational movie ever produced
The the writer and producer you have made such a powerful message to all teenagers and parents to be aware of how a situation can make a twist and effect a persons life forever.
This to me is a vital media production for any child entering secondary education
Most of all this strong message is for males to respect females within the cyber network
Why this movie is not advertised more strongly is wrong
This movie has the potential to reduce the potential for female suicide and male suicide
This series is so powerful and so vitality important to understand the consequences of our actions, and how we still see and unbalanced set of rules.

Authentic female characters
Did not expect to like this, I thought at best it would be tough going at worst moralising.
It was actually fast paced with relatable characters. Highly recommend it.
Not good
Asher is not enough to save this dull diatribe on youth, culture, technology and poor decisions. The majority of the millennials are as wooden as a clothes hanger and the pacing is just poor. I don't think this is at all a new story, maybe teenagers will find it interesting but even they probably look for some quality in their viewing decisions (except anything kardashian related obviously). It just reminds of all the bad elements of high school but with more pc leanings.

Enthralling Drama
I think this is a must see for any parent. Is there some stereotyping, sure, but it's used to enhance the story and explore the many facets of the topic. I've just watched E3 and cannot wait to watch the final episode. That said, I thought the actions of the supposedly smart teenage protagonists in E3 did stretch reality.
Great diversity, Engaging telly
Very much enjoying this one. Find myself thinking about the series between episodes which doesn't happen so much anymore.
Excellent and very well acted

I really want to like this
I respect the subject and the way they're going about it.
The casting and acting is good.
But the pace is simply glacial and not in a good way.
So, after three runs at episode 1, I'm bailing.
To those of you who can stick it out, I'm sure it will be worthwhile. The approach seems thoughtful and balanced.

Excellent Aussie Drama
Surprised by the quality of this thought provoking Aussie series. Realistic n relatable premise. Engaging n educational watch. Highly recommend for parents n teens. Took a star off cos the bad guy didn't get justice.
Highly recommend 👍🏼
This was an amazing TV drama that talks about real life scenarios. There are some stereotyping but then again, it is what it is, regardless. Very good educational program for everyone. A subject that should be talked / discussed in schools.

A must see series for teenagers and parents/school staff
So important to talk about the consequence of sharing sexual content with others. How it could ruine peoples life and will always stay on line is the illness of this generation.
Excellent story line and brilliant brilliant actors.
Thank you making such a strong series that would help opening up a conversation with the young generation.

Predictable Stereotypes
Based on episode 1 this topical and attention grabbing theme served up a predictable array of stereotypes that only glimpse the reality of the issue and perpetuate mis-conceptions. The mostly innocent and unwitting victims include the assertive daughter of a lesbian couple, the smothered daughter of a migrant family and the try hard son of another migrant family who seeks the approval of the hate figure; a vaguely larrikin teenage male from a wealthy family. Similarly, the teacher characters are typical teacher characters in typical tv dramas; either old and crusty, or young and naive. Consequently, the soft targets, schools and their staff, appear as hopeless. Well, that is as far as I got. Maybe it will get better but I doubt it.

This is a great teaching tool about online sex until the last episode...
... when it changes into a feminist bashing exercise of young men's hormones and the terrible wrongs of human sexuality caused by the males of our species.

Don't waste your time. Absolutely terrible.
This had a lot of potential. Unfortunately it was executed very poorly. Terrible acting and completely over dramatised. Bad stereotypes, and something I would not have expected from SBS. Completely protracted and a waste of time. Thought there might be some kind of twist in the plot but no. I don't know what Richard Roxborough was thinking.

Downvoted because of ending
Ways boys can avoid sexual violence.
Speak to someone like a counsellor for advice when girls start using their bodies and ridiculing language to exploit belittle manipulate and confuse you. It's not your fault and you're not a "pussy" if it makes you uncomfortable.
Speak up when female teachers get flirty with you, it's difficult but start with Kidsline it's confidential and up to age of 25. Sexual violence perpetrated by female teachers on male students is not OK. Report it, talk to someone about it, do not engage. They do not care about you.
Speak up about how porn makes you feel, emotions like anger and confusion. Think about how to protect yourself from getting skewed perceptions from the sexual violence that is being imposed on you via porn. Research healthy relationships and how online content destroys that potential.
Get on school councils etc and speak up about lack of initiatives to help boys deal with their relationship with sexual violence that is depicted just about everywhere as the norm.
Name it when you see boys being demonised in programs like this and in the press when they act out from a diet of online sexual violence with zero guidance, education, mentoring, from the toxic highly deficient world around them.
Society gets the young men it deserves.
Let me say that again.
Society gets the young men it deserves.
This skewed program demonised young men for taking part in the cultural norms WE HAVE ALL ALLOWED, and it is is a useless dangerous destructive unenlightened approach.
Great performances by these young actors and it's good to see this stuff being aired, but it sadly fell into unhelpful cliche and did little for the greater good.
