Love My Way

Watched this after watching Offspring. Although I didn't like the amount of sexual scenes, the storyline and characters made up for that. Frankie, Charlie, Tom, Di, Lou Lou were my favourite characters. I really didn't like Lewis' character toward the end. I thought that Dylan portrayed the typical annoying, narcissistic teenager. He was horrible to Frankie when he said, "You're nobody's mother." So awful.

I think this show perfectly portrayed how a family can be crazy and difficult, but is so needed and welcomed during the difficult times of life.

Would highly recommend!

I began watching this show from the start of the first series. I was immediately hooked. The cast are so talented and they really do become their characters. I have always watched anything that Claudia Karvan has starred in, I loved Secret Life of Us and when i saw that John Edwards was involved i knew this was again the special magic that both him and Karvan create. The scripts aren't soapy, this drama is written with such passion and talent, it is extremely clever, heart warming and sometimes tragic. I honestly cant remember watching a show and really feeling like you are intruding on peoples everyday lives. I have laughed and cried watching this show and i truly believe this is the best Australian Drama ever produced.

Great acting and story line. It gets a bit exhausting after awhile. However, the complications in these intertwined families' lives are worth the watch.

Love my way should really have been titled "Life As It Really Is". Southern Star's John Edwards and his writers have somehow managed to depict the lives of 30-somethings living in Sydney with realism, humour and life situations that many of us can relate to.

Claudia Karvan is outstanding as Frankie, a single mother whose honesty and intelligence don't keep her safe from the emotional roller coaster ride that life can sometimes be. Asher Keddie, Ben Mendelsohn, Dany Wyllie and Brendan Cowell share Frankie's life, loves and disasters while steering their own lives down some pretty rocky roads.

I know television is saturated with barely watchable soap operas, but Southern Star's entries such as Love My Way, Tangle and Secret Life of Us, are a cut above the mainstream and tremendously entertaining. This is addictive television at its best. 9/10

By chance I started watching Love my Way, first series. I was straightaway taken by the directness, the humor, the seriousness, the directing, the acting. At last, again, a series that shows life, as it is.

Last night I saw the last episode to the second season. I think it brave to end so well. It would be easy to leave characters dangling on bad luck or despair. But life, after all, is bigger than that.

Great, really great performances by all actors. Very convincing. Very well directed. I'm looking forward to a next season?!
