In Your Dreams

In Your Dreams has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Jolie Hoang-Rappaport is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

In Your Dreams arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in In Your Dreams land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Stevie and her little brother Elliot journey into the wildly absurd landscape of their own dreams to ask the Sandman to grant them the perfect family. The chemistry Jolie Hoang-Rappaport and Elias Janssen bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. In Your Dreams came out in 2025. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and In Your Dreams holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, In Your Dreams respects your intelligence. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Jolie Hoang-Rappaport's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
