Wanderlust

Funny, illuminating, heartfelt, beautifully shot and edited, great soundtrack.

Wanderlust seems to be quite divisive due to it's subject matter (as shown by some of the rather over-the-top 1-star reviews), but I found it to be extremely touching, witty, and well-acted.

Very under-rated at 5.7. This is a very well made and sensitive series wth a lot of depth. What starts off as seemingly all about sex turns out to be very far from it. Outstanding performance by Toni Collette and well cast.

Looking at some of the less flattering comments I think it's one of those stories that needs to be watched over a couple of nights ( or if you have real stamina in one go) rather than in single episodes where certain intricacies between the characters may be lost. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"The Problem with Marriage is Women think Men will change and they don't and Men think Women won't change but they do..."

I think anyone who gives this a 1/10 either hasn't ever interacted with normal day to day people or is in a terribly boring marriage and sees so many similarities between the on screen couples and theirs that they feel threatened!

I honestly don't think I've ever seen real life couples, marriages and general interactions portrayed on screen as well and as humorously as this. Like when ever do you see foreplay on television? Either spoke about or visually... Usually people just kiss and magically jump straight into each other as though everyone's just walking around hot, wet and ready at any moment!

I thought the dialogue was brilliant with many laugh out loud moments and the use of long drawn out pauses in personal and some what embarrassing scenes really drew you in and made you feel it deep in your soul.

The Characters are bold and I honestly can't wait to see how they evolve. All I all a great, very refreshing show that I can wait to continue watching.

Wanderlust is a lot more ambiguous and complex than people have seen it as. If confused and offended by it's first episodes, let it play out until the end, when everything becomes clearer and gains extra dimension. It is not, as many have suggested, a blatant criticism of marriage and the model of family life.

I absolutely love this series. I've watched 5 of 6 episodes and I'm savouring the last episode as I just don't want it to end. Nick Payne has done an incredible job of creating and writing this series. So well written, directed, shot, acted - all round a brilliant show and great production values. The cast are great. Best thing I've ever seen Toni Collette do. Must watch TV.
