Spirited

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!!

Stumbled across this on Amazon, immediately fell in love with it within the first couple episodes. It could've gone on for more seasons, but wrapped up in a way that offers closure. If you're looking for something that's different from the rest, give it a shot- it's quite charming.

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

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.

My wife and I have just finished watching the final few episodes of season 2 of this wonderful, gentle and quirky series. Why there are no other reviews of season 2 and only a handful on series 1, I have no idea. For this is the kind of television production that exceeds expectations in every way. Feel good, funny, well acted, beautifully filmed, highly original and, given the concept, believable. And like other non-mainstream series that Australia, and, especially, Great Britain, occasionally throw up, Spirited appeared on our screen with minimal fanfare, was barely watched and disappeared with nary a trace. So sad. Spirited concerns the drawn out no-touch (well, mostly) love affair of socially inept dentist Suze and back-from-the-dead, jaded rock star Henry. From freaked out/irritable beginnings this relationship is destined for sweet interdependency. Lots of speedbumps along the way though. And plenty of other characters, both ghostly and real, to be fleshed out over the course of both seasons. Some characters, like Steve (Suze's ex) and Jonquil (her sister), can be annoying at first but come into their own eventually. The other ghosts who come and go in Suze's apartment block inhabit a complex world of their own , one where sadness and confusion is ever present but also one where both Henry and Suse can help bring wistful joy and resolution. My brother is, Jamie, is a 1st Assistant Director. Jane and I had watched season 1 and were waiting for season 2 to be released on DVD when Jamie mentioned his involvement in the final two episodes of season 2. So in case you wonder, we were already convinced fans. It is just a pity Claudia Kavan and Matt King, especially, won't be making more episodes of this great series.
