Strife

Well made, funny, captivating and I love how if you followed Mia's story you recognise certain characters and events and her polarising character but it is not over or under done. Just what this tired old feminist needed plus Asher is amazing and the perfect casting choice. Honestly I just loved it and would have said no notes if it was allowed. Australian television gets a bad rap but this is an absolutely gem. I am so desperate for a season two, I could even see it continue on for many seasons! I watched it all on a day as I could not help myself, I had to finish it but then I was so sad it was over when it was.

Can someone please apologise to Asher Keddie and Tina Bursill? That would be great thanks.

If this is what post Brian Walsh can look like at Foxtel/Binge I dread whats coming next.

I just could not get into this and watched it over the course of a few days because there is no way this should've been made into a show.

Can we please stop greenlighting peoples memoirs please because after the failure that was Warnie this year you think Binge/Foxtel would've served up something just a little bit better.

Don't get me wrong Asher is a national treasure but I feel like someone just handed her the script and went "read it now"... Do yourself a favour, skip this.

Asher Keddie is one of Australia's best actresses and I have always enjoyed her work. Bit even she can't save this form being awkward to watch. Her character is supposed to be a flawed modern woman. But her character is more unlikeable than simply flawed. How did this woman build a media empire when she can't do the most simplest task without screwing it up and then constantly lying and gaslighting the people around her. I feel like the one angle they had was taken too far and made the show unlikable overall. And this is coming from a fan of Mia Freedman and Mumamia, who the story is based on. I wanted this to be a good watch, but I can't find anything I liked about it.

Great show, as a sixty year old bloke I found this an interesting insight into how women think ( assuming it is close to reality of course ). Funny, endearing and also a little bit cringy.

Made me thankful to be a man...lol. Great Aussie stuff! Definitely worth a watch. I gave it 6 Stars, could possibly be 8 Stars but I am conservative with my ratings.

Can not wait for season 2.

Just binged season 2 and I was blown away. I did not think they could improve on the first season but believe me, they did. Asher Keddie's performance was again outstanding, so believable, so honest and very funny.

I really do hope this show is a true representation of how women think as it truly opened my narrow male mind as to a females perspective on life.

I highly recommend this show, watch it to the end, episode 8 is well worth it!

I have increased my rating to a well deserved 8 Stars.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm not normally a massive fan of Australian productions. Although I've definitely been wonderfully surprised in recent years. We've turned out some great stuff and it's a really exciting time for Aussie shows.

But what drew me to this was the premise being somewhat inspired by Mia Freedman. I remember Mamamia when it was just Mia, and I loved it.

Anyway, I can't really fault this show in any way.

The characters, the story line, the issues being tackled. It all felt very authentic whilst also being entertaining. I binged this over 2 days and I really hope we got another season.
