60 of 88 · most liked firstI just watched My Brilliant Career again, partly because I knew there was a new mini-series, partly because I was curious - I'm sure the new version is very fine, but Judy Davis, Sam Neill, Gillian Armstrong directing, from Miles Franklin's masterpiece - how do you improve upon perfection?

neutral · AI labelView post →last night I posted there was a new version (mini-series) of My Brilliant Career, won't watch but a few of you said you are having another look at the film, which is exactly what I'm doing now - probably not seen it since it came out in 1979...an absolute classic (ABC i-view & Netflix)
positive · AI labelView post →My Brilliant Career 2026 (Netflix). Has anyone seen this? I'm a fan of period pieces, and can tolerate some Netflix slop, but my goodness is the writing bad. I'm not familiar with the original book, so maybe it's a feature of that, but the main character insists she's headstrong not fierce, then takes issue with being called stubborn all within a couple minutes of runtime. She brings a whole bag of books to her grandmothers and is excited about the library, but when there's quiet time in the…

We watched the last episode of #MyBrilliantCareer on Netflix last night, an absolutely excellent series. The intention is to have a quiet day today, my friend is coming over this afternoon…

Starring Philippa Northeast and an extremely buff Christopher Chung, Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel has been adapted into a spirited series ‘unashamedly intended for women’
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched My Brilliant Career on Netflix and really enjoyed it. Why can't the BBC make more stuff like this, instead of relentless crime/police series or grim Northern drama? Even the once sunny Jersey-based Bergerac was remade into depressing alcoholic cop has dysfunctional family misery. Bah.

neutral · AI labelView post →After watching Netflix' adaptation of Miles Franklin's novel My Brilliant Career, I re-read the novel on which it is based. This review is spot-on: Rather than bringing Franklin’s social realism to a contemporary audience, the series applies the “Bridgerton treatment” www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
negative · AI labelView post →“My Brilliant Career“ on Netflix is such a fun, clever, Aussie-centric show. Crazy that it wasn‘t a massive hit. Massive recommend.

neutral · AI labelView post →So far the My Brilliant Career series is a bit cottagecore for my tastes, but hopefully it'll grow on me more. I doubt it'll surpass the film, but hopefully it will open the door to a wealth of female artistry for a new generation.

neutral · AI labelView post →Considering the loss of Sam Neill, Beth and Michelle discuss his professed pivotal film, My Brilliant Career (1979). The show was meant to be a solemn ode to Sam, but like the man himself, it became a remembrance filled with laughter and love. He was just that kind of human being.

neutral · AI labelView post →So sorry to read Sam Neill has passed. I thought he'd beat it. "My Brilliant Career" with Judy Davis, the excellent series "Reilly, Ace of Spies", & a star turn in "Peaky Blinders" are favorites.😘 Sam walked by me in a restaurant one day, he was shorter than me & rather messy looking. #swoon.
