affenw Watched one episode from the first season of Offspring, and was immediately hooked. Net-binged the remaining episodes and went on to the others. I can certainly understand the outcry from Australian fans about a certain character. I was (am) right there with you! No one could possibly measure up after that departure. Chemistry between the two and his sexiness: OFF THE CHARTS!!! That aside, the characters and writing are fantastic. If they were real people, they would be the types I'd want as friends (although they are really over the line about being nosy - family and work staff alike). But the love and concern they have for each other is well done.I plan to buy the series - not something I do very often, unless I TRULY love a show. This one is certainly worth it, in my opinion.

soozereviews I asked a few friends to recommend a show. One did and I started to watch OFFSPRING. I am from the US and found this show one of the best of Netflix .... and I've watched MANY!!!! I thought the characters were all unique and the family .... well, I just fell in love with them. I was sad when they 'killed' off some of the main characters. I watched all 6 seasons and looked forward to them. To my dismay, I watched the last one last night!!! Now what will I do. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

gce2308 I had heard so much about this show and all the "rave" reviews, and since I am looking for a long series of something decent to watch, I thought I'd just check out a couple of the Season 7 episodes currently being shown here in Australia, to see if it was worth starting from the very beginning. I'll need to look elsewhere - because this show blows hugely. I am embarrassed to think that other countries are seeing this steaming pile of garbage. Individually, quite a few of the actors have done some really good work - in other Australian productions. But this load of crap called "Offspring" does them no favours. EVERYONE over-acts so much it's positively laughable. Especially the Nina and Billie characters. They are not 'quirky', they are simply annoyingly stupid.I'm more than prepared to suspend belief to a certain extent when I watch films/TV shows but this is in a whole other realm of 'fantasy'. I felt nothing but extremely irritated, even angry, whenever Nina or her sister appeared on-screen with their stupid dialogue and over-reactive facial expressions to what seems like EVERYTHING.It beggars belief that it has lasted a whole 7 Seasons. Has it been a gradual decline into what is now absolute nonsense? I understand this is the last Season. I'm not surprised!! Thank god it is being retired and will thankfully no longer be shown on our screens. Good riddance.

shirley12vineyard This offering has been on our screens for a few years but it didn't attract me till this year at series 5 (I think) so I thought I'd give it a go. 4 episodes in I was lured to go back to the beginning on Netflix. I now have a love hate relationship with it and have foreboding about whether I can genuinely offer a bouquet. As some have written, the quirky semi-comedy grates time and again. How can anyone be that dizzy yet be such a competent obstetrician?!Also the long strung-out twists at every turn are invariably interrupted by incessant mobile phone calls!! It is a relief indeed, if someone can be still for 20 seconds and let viewers connect. It wouldn't be so exhausting! Hideous ring tones at that. Those who criticize the writing are on the button. Dr Chris is the hottest Australian male TV presence I've ever seen. Yet he wasn't really written for. Just brooding male sexiness, a bit of torso occasionally, but most lines had to be mumbled. Having come on board to a few of Season 5,then returned back to Season 1, apart from some hairstyle changes, I see no development in character with the exception of Billie, certainly not the main character. I'm a bit hooked but fear if i follow through, I'll sigh again that the writers have hung her out to dry and I'm never going to see Nina "get herself sorted."
