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 is an Aussie show that delivers against global content. I felt like I was watching the real lives if people in Melbourne. Highly recommended, funny, witty, relatable and definitely binge worthy.

I've been a fan of Hugo Weaving all my life so I always tune in when I see his name. I didn't really know what to expect with this, but at the end of six episodes I have to say I have even more admiration and respect for him than ever before. What a beautiful and brave performance! Soap operas are not my thing so I haven't seen Bob Morley in anything else but I have a feeling he will be in a lot more things in the future. His ability to capture a man that has struggled to find acceptance and love beyond the superficial, and is still willing to offer his heart to someone...wow. I can only say it seems that this actor is drawing on a deep well of life experience and self-awareness. Both Weaving and Morley have set the standard in this show for portraying male vulnerability and it was truly a work of art from both. I didn't know of Bojana Novakovic either, (nor the other young actors for that matter.) Novakovic is another one I'll be keeping an eye out for. Funny, lovely, and expressive. I felt everything she felt just by watching her facial expressions. Both she and Morley were able to do so much with such subtlety. I hope the producers realize what a gem they have in each of these actors and continue to give them opportunities to share their talents. Bravo!!

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.

I see the trolls have voted this down each episode

Impressive series in a difficult genre. Cast were brilliant with impressive storyline, with beautiful shots of Melbourne.
