Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

nicholsonbridget This show is SPECTACULAR! I finished this show recently and already miss all of these people. Such well rounded, fleshed out characters. Beautiful scenes when they handle the loss of a child. It's just absolutely glorious. I will watch again and again!

sexwizardmoustache I've been binge watching the show in the evenings over the last few weeks. This show has been a great source of enjoyment for me and a much loved escape from the stress of every day life. And then they decided to suddenly, randomly and callously kill off Patrick's character. At first I thought and prayed it was one of Nina's visions/nightmares. But it kept going. I was in shock, I was angry, I was hurt, I cried more than I care to admit. And then the show that was once a source of great joy in my life suddenly became a source of great misery. I was no longer looking forward to watching it, I no longer enjoyed watching it either. When a show becomes MORE stressful than your real life, this is inevitable. I struggled through and forced myself to watch the fifth season, the first half of which I mostly cried through every time there was a Patrick scene and then I found myself resenting Nina for finally choosing to move on. Overall, definitely not enjoyable, unless you enjoy crying for hours and feeling like you've been kicked in the guts. I understand the actor had to move on and the writers felt they were too committed to each other to break up again and that it would be too cliché, but did it ever occur to them how this would emotionally affect viewers? At least then, we would be able to give Nina permission to move on, we'd be happy for her. We'd be able to move on ourselves. They were in counselling, so it's not like their relationship was perfect. It would have been believable for them to break up. Surely they could have found a way, any other way to cut the character that wouldn't be so hard on viewers. On that note, I felt it was really cruel and unconscionable of the writers to kill off Patrick a mere week before he was going to meet his child when he had experienced a still birth previously. Like he didn't have the right to ever experience being a father. And leaving Nina, the woman who had brought so many other women's children into the world who had their husbands by their sides was not given that same right. She was to bring her child into the world without her partner and the father of her child by her side. Just really low. If they were going to kill him off, why not do it after the child is born, give him the chance to at least meet her! No, I'm not happy with what they did to Patrick and frankly, the show will never be the same now. His death has immortalised him as the perfect partner for Nina, her "great love" and no one will ever measure up, when their relationship was far from perfect and it could have just run its natural course and we could have followed Nina's life onwards and upwards, while being allowed to be happy for her, without being left to permanently wallow in grief and sadness. I also feel that this was a light-hearted and zany comedy before and now I can't bring myself to find it funny anymore, because even moments of humour are draped in darkness and despair following what happened. I know this was probably an attempt at a ratings grab, and it may well have worked on other viewers, but you have lost me as a viewer. It's not just the shock and sadness of what has happened, I am genuinely not in the least bit interested to find out what happens in Nina's life henceforth, and certainly will not sit through her new romance with some snoozefest love interest. And no, I'm not one of those people who say they won't watch anymore and then watch anyway. Once I write off a show, there's no going back for me ever. So this is it for me, thanks Offspring writers/producers for needlessly ruining a once fantastic show.

selffamily I have just finished watching the first season on DVD, and am glad I resisted it on TV, broken up by adverts, this would not shine the way it does uninterrupted. The characters are brilliantly played, each a caricature, and thoroughly enjoyable. The background music is terrific, and I don't usually enjoy back ground music, if I even notice it. The parts of Melbourne shown to us in this series, are tempting and alluring. i don't see the problem with babies being born (although some are a little on the large size) as it's an obstetric ward in a hospital, so that makes sense. Maybe the story-line is a little over the top, but this is entertainment as the Australians do so well. As a previous reviewer has said, I've laughed and cried at this first series, and I see there are five more. Can't wait.

Maddy711 What happens when you take Neighbors (oh when will they kill that show off?) and add thought bubbles?You get - Offspring!So we have Nina back with more disastrous decisions getting herself into even more trouble than before; yes comments above are accurate when they muse how on earth does anyone on this show survive their stupidity?The justification for Nina's decisions are simple; lust. Yes every desperate female doctor needs sex and lots of it just to survive life - think "The Box meets Young Doctors" for those familiar with pre-80's Australian TV.We can all only hope this will be the last season of this show, certainly if Asher fails to get a Logie next year so we can only hope she does not and this show about the brain dead gets canned after this season.We can only hope the Australian Clinical Psychology Association makes this show a part of any treatment plan for those suffering from the inability to make good decisions about their life.
