Mortified is an Australian comedy-drama television series produced by the Australian Children's Television Foundation (ACTF) in association with the Nine Network. The show originally aired from June 2006 to July 2007 and starred Marny Kennedy as the main character Taylor Fry.

The show follows the life of 11-year-old Taylor Fry as she navigates her way through the struggles and awkwardness of adolescence. The series is based on a stage show of the same name, which featured adults reading out their embarrassing childhood diaries to a live audience.

In the TV show, Taylor is determined to make it through the sixth grade by fitting in with her popular classmates and impressing her crush, Leon. However, things never seem to go her way and she ends up in awkward and embarrassing situations which make her even more determined to succeed.

One of the unique aspects of this show is the use of diary entries as a narrative device. Each episode begins with Taylor reading a cringeworthy entry from her diary, which sets the tone for the episode. The show also cleverly integrates other characters' diaries into the plot, revealing their own secrets and struggles.

Mortified deals with relatable themes like bullying, sibling rivalry, first crushes, and fitting in. However, the show also tackles more serious topics such as divorce, death, and mental illness. Taylor's older brother, Hector, is a standout character dealing with depression and anxiety, which is not often seen in children's television.

The show is set in a typical suburban Australian town and features a diverse cast of characters. Taylor's best friend, Hector's girlfriend, and her crush, Leon, all belong to different cultural backgrounds, which adds to the richness of the show. The show also has a great soundtrack, featuring songs from Australian artists like Missy Higgins and The Living End.

The acting in Mortified is top-notch, and Marny Kennedy shines in her role as Taylor Fry. She brings an authenticity and vulnerability to the character, making her someone that viewers can root for. Other standouts include Nicholas Dunn as the brooding Hector and Maia Mitchell as the sassy and confident Brittany Flune.

In terms of production value, Mortified is a well-produced show that captures the chaos and energy of middle school. The show's bright colors and quick editing give it a lively and dynamic feel, which appeals to its target audience.

Overall, Mortified is a great show for kids and adults alike. It deals with important and relatable issues that kids face but also has enough humor and heart to keep viewers entertained. The show's unique style, great acting, and catchy soundtrack make it a memorable and enjoyable viewing experience.

Mortified is a series that ran for 1 seasons (26 episodes) between June 30, 2006 and on Nine
