Each individual character is fantastic in their own right. Jonny is stoic, hilarious and a real business man. David has the BEST dress sense ever, is kind hearted, quite naive and silly. Alexis is gentle, silly, naive, it's a shame she didnt get a better ending. Moira is something else, I have never laughed at someone for being so annoying! Her voice is amazing and her GIRLS are phenomenal. This family just come together as a hilarious dynamic group and I love it.
Roland and his wife are fab, love the pun in their names. The very final scene of the last episode really made us chuckle.
This is an absolute treat to watch and I'm tempted to start it all over from the beginning. I can see this being a family name in years to come

RəX Regent (349 KP) rated Tarzan Finds a Son! (1939) in Movies
Feb 19, 2019 (Updated Feb 19, 2019)
But his family, the heirs to the Greystoke estate come searching for him and Tarzan will not give him up. Though Jane, whilst heart broken, is prepared too, though unaware that the Boy is just a pawn to gain an Their inheritance.
The relationship between Tarzan and his son are played out beautifully, as is the betrayal of Jane as she must take the boy against Tarzan’s will.
Though Jane’s character is starting feel frumpy and and bit two dimensional by this point in the series, the trio still manage to play this out really well and this one does deliver more of an emotional punch than I was expecting.
This is no small part due to Jane’s death scene, which is resolved by one the most outrageous Ex-machina moments which I have ever seen, but still, after test audiences did not want Jane to die, she miraculously, well, doesn’t!
But this was clearly where the plot was heading throughout and even though the pay off is smothered in fantasy, it still packed a punch. But on a lighter note, the humour also feels better and less forced in this one.

Taika Waititi is probably one of my favourite current directors. Not my all time favourite, that accolade belongs to Christopher Nolan, but he's not far behind and until I turned this on, I'd completely forgotten this was even one of his films. But as soon as the film starts, it's so obviously Waititi and that's before the man himself turns up in a rather wacky and wonderful cameo.
This is a rather wonderful coming of age type drama. It's completely bonkers yet full of heart and a decent amount of laughs. Yet still doesnt shy away from the more serious topics that underpin the entire story. It's quirky yet so much fun, and also full of a decent amount of pop culture references that cant help make you laugh out loud. Sam Neill is great as grouchy uncle Hector, and Julian Dennison is a riot as Ricky. The cinematography too is marvellous, this is a beautifully made and stunning looking film and altogether just a delight to watch.
The story might get a little ridiculous at times, but this is easy to ignore when the rest of it is so fun and heart warming.
