Sisters

Knowing literally nothing about this series, I came across it on Netflix and the trailer made me smile so I started watching. I ended up bingeing the whole thing and really enjoyed it. Not knowing any of the actors, I had no preconceptions. It deals with a young woman, Julia, who finds out her ailing doctor father used his own sperm in IVF treatments and she has potentially hundreds of siblings. However, it largely focuses on the lives of just two others - children's tv presenter with a thing for pills, Roxy and uptight lawyer Edie, a former friend of Julia's going through some bumps in her marriage - along with Julia herself, who is amiably but slightly aimlessly drifting through life What makes this work for me are the characters, who I really came to care about. The tone is a nice mix of comedy and drama and it's nice to see a quality show from down under getting some exposure. OK so some of the twists and turns are pretty daft but the show is a lot of fun, the acting good and I definitely want Edie's apartment!
