Quiéreme

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.

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!!

This adaptation from the Swedish version is so much better than I expected. It is so brilliantly cast, and Melbourne makes such a gorgeous backdrop for these three love stories. Bojana Novakovic (Clara) is beautiful, her comedic turns spot on, and her chemistry with Bob Morley (Peter) is undeniable. Morley himself shines as her love interest, equal parts funny, sincere, and achingly real. Hugo Weaving's (Glen) story is perhaps the most heartwarming and he plays the role of newly hopeful widow to perfection. I loved every minute of Love Me and I'll watch it repeatedly until the second season arrives. Love me? Yes. Yes I do. WELL DONE!

Unexpected gem. Each three love story is verisimilar, down-to-earth, and solid. In a very short time (just six episodes of 40 minutes in each), main characters are substantially and strongly developed, unique in characteristics with enough background of how they become what they are today. So many storylines worth developing, starting from solid ground founded in season 1.

*MUSIC is just exceptional. Next 'Grey's Anatomy' for a platform of introducing super cool Indie music.

The world really does need more Hugo Weaving in TV shows, we have truly missed out. Hugo puts in an award winning performance, so does the entire cast. Beautifully done.
