Quiéreme

I had my doubts when I came into it because I'm not a big fan of foreign productions so this one being recommended by a friend I decided to give it a try. And I can honestly say that I was not disappointed and it ended being a lovely surprise. Everything was spectacular from the casting (loved Bob Morley and Hugo Weaving in it) to the stories they show told and the beautiful scenery of Melbourne.

So everyone who had anything negative to says about it, its pretty clear they don't know how to appreciate good art. As for those who still have doubts I'd suggest you give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

The world really does need more Hugo Weaving in TV shows, we have truly missed out. Hugo puts in an award winning performance, so does the entire cast. Beautifully done.

A show shot in Melbourne during the pandemic is surreal. However, despite that, it turned out wonderful. Talented, fantastic actors in every role. I loved Peter and his son Max, both Filipino Australian played by the talented Bob Morley and John Sharp. It's so rare to see actors that actually share an ethnicity play parent and child, usually the child ends up played by white actor and taking after the white parent in media, so that is certainly refreshing.

Bojana and Bobs Clara and Peter were the main reason I watched, but I also enjoyed Hugo Weavings performance as the grief stricken patriarch finding new love so suddenly after loss, but dealing with the guilt that brings.

Everyone outdone themselves.

This adaptation from the Swedish version is so much better than I expected. It is so brilliantly cast, and Melbourne makes such a gorgeous backdrop for these three love stories. Bojana Novakovic (Clara) is beautiful, her comedic turns spot on, and her chemistry with Bob Morley (Peter) is undeniable. Morley himself shines as her love interest, equal parts funny, sincere, and achingly real. Hugo Weaving's (Glen) story is perhaps the most heartwarming and he plays the role of newly hopeful widow to perfection. I loved every minute of Love Me and I'll watch it repeatedly until the second season arrives. Love me? Yes. Yes I do. WELL DONE!

So trolls are voting down every episode just because they hate ONE male actor. So miserable. Girls, find yourself another show, this one is obviously not for you.

As for the show, quite a good adaptation from the Swedish version, and is even better than I expected. The cast is also brilliant and the actors did a good job. Bojana and Bob are creating a fantastic couple, bringing both comedy and angst in the story. Well done.

Anyway, the most touching story is Glen's and I hope we will get Season 2.

Oh yeah, shots of Melbourne are also fantastic.
