Spirited

I stumbled across this on Foxtel's catchup Drama option list and binge- watched the whole first season. It's a genuinely original storyline, it's well scripted and well acted. The sister and ex-husband are caricatures and they're there as much to add extra complications into the plot. But apart from their exaggerated story lines, the rest of the scripting is excellent.

I really liked the developing relationship between Susie and Henry, the kindness that grows between them and the way in which he coaches her into opening herself up to people.

It's just a lovely little series and I'm only sorry it didn't get more fanfare when it was originally released. As Molly Meldrum would say: 'Do yourself a favour ...'

I've now rewatched the series THREE times, and I can't get enough of it. For an Australian series, it is brilliantly written, well-acted and the storyline is really original. I love the chemistry between Claudia and Matt's characters, and I think they were probably the best picks for their roles. It is incredibly QUIRKY! And I love the series for that, it's not like most series, it's original with its perks and quirks, funny characters and almost-cringe-worthy awkwardness at times, which goes to show how well-acted the cast played their roles. Of course I wished there was a season 3, but like I said, the show has been well written, and they left the series to finish in a 'satisfying' manner but still open for another season. I wish it could have got more popularity in Australia, it's a very good series and I recommend it to anybody who likes a well-written storyline with quirky characters and quirky plots, and of course fans who SHIP people, because the Henry/Suzy ship is definitely a likable CANON #FanTalk

I really enjoyed watching this show in the era of the covid-19 virus, lovely heart warming program and very disappointed to know that season 2 was all there was. Please consider creating season 3!

What an awesome show! Inventive and unusual with a super and perfect cast (Matt King especially kills), clever dialogue that is both serious yet funny, and rock 'n' roll as the underlying theme. This is the stuff that makes for a truly cool series which this definitely is. (Ahhhh, if other shows would only aim to be even half as cool as this.) No idea why there's only 2 seasons--if I'd known of this show when it was first broadcast, I would definitely have rallied to keep it going. Highly recommended.

And to think I almost didn't watch this show...

The cast is perfect and the story line is surprisingly believable and a breath of fresh air! You can easily get swept away watching it. I have always watched Rodger Corser in very different roles to his character on this show. Now it's hard to watch him in anything else without thinking of 'Steve'. The characters Henry & Suzie have a real chemistry, but the sister is quite annoying. Guess that means she's playing the part well! I just watched the last episode and was hoping there's going to be a Season 2 (which is on it's way).

We need more shows like this. Hurry up Season 2!!
