Mr Inbetween.

Still... the good old shovel dished out the Karma yet again.

Ah yes that person got exactly what was coming to him mate and can't remember being so riveted to the TV screen by an episode of anything for a very long time.

I'm sure this would come out if I watched more of the show, but what is the significance of the title "Mr. Inbetween"?  Is this intended to mean Ray is somewhere 'in between' being a good guy and a bad guy, or does it mean something else?

Yo mate hope you manage to watch all three seasons and report back - think you're right about the title as he's quite a loving father with a strong sense of moral integrity.. and also a psycho hitman lol.

More about the dichotomy in this article.

MR. INBETWEEN: IT'S TIME TO APPRECIATE THE GENIUS OF THIS VERY AUSTRALIAN NOIR


The dichotomy, sometimes obsessively depicted in crime film and television, between Ray’s vicious criminality and affection he shows to family, friends and strangers whom he believes deserve another chance, is largely unexamined in Mr Inbetween or subverted by everyday moments that range from the poignant and to laugh out loud funny. As I understand it, one of the reasons for the lengthy time between the making of The Magician and the appearance of Mr Inbetween was Ryan’s determination to play Ray, and he is brilliant in it. With his bald head, angular face, and deceptively calm demeanour, usually the only tell-tale sign of impending trouble on his part is the grin that slowly spreads across his face when someone has crossed a line or disappointed him after he has given them a second chance. The closest thing to a thematic strand the show has is Ray’s rigorous refusal, at least publicly, to examine himself. He has a code, and he lives by it, even when it takes a toll. This is brilliantly captured in what for me are some of the show’s best scenes, when Ray is sentenced to attend a therapy group for violent men. Asked by the social worker if he enjoys hitting people, Ray replies “I wouldn’t say I enjoy hitting people. If I hit somebody, I generally got a pretty good reason.”
