I love this Ally McBeal meets General Hospital series out of Australia. The family is loving, caring, confused, conflicted and above all "together".
This is a train I'm compelled to take every night.
Nina is hilarious as the imaginative 30'ish ingenue, who has a special way of dealing with conflict (thats an understatement ) But what a delightful trip.
Each cast member injects their own special personality. Deborah Mailman is a delight and her writers are spot on with their delivery and her magical way of inspiring a vibrant spirit without taking away from anyone else. She is true to herself and has that rare quality of helping others shine.

So, one day my friend makes a comment about Offspring and how she loves it. I then say, I love them too-wish I could see them in concert. She says no, it's a t.v. show we have here (in Australia) and here's a link to "Six at best" on Youtube. And just like that I was hooked . . .I've had to download an i-tunes version to watch season one and was forced to watch season 2 segment by segment on Youtube.Why? Because is it freaking amazing. Imagine Allie McBeal meets Grays Anatomy. The show follows one woman specifically, but branches out to follow her family as well as co-workers as well (who have some how ended up kin of like her family as well). It is the perfect balance of hilarious, endearing, heart wrenching, and wonderful. I can't say enough about this TV show. PLEASE RELEASE THE DVDS IN THE U.S.A. AND PUT THIS ON A CABLE CHANNEL I CAN GET!!!
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.
I love this show! My husband started watching it because of me and now we can't get enough! 🤗💞 I hope and pray there will be another season!
My daughter and I just finished the entire series!! There has to be more!!! The story line, the cast, the actors, the whole ensemble was probably one of the very best we have seen!! Why did it have to end?? I am going to start to watch it over again.....crazy, but I felt like I wanted to be part of the Proudman family!! Will there ever be more??? And why not???? There can be so much more in the lives of Nina and Billie and Jimmie and Geraldine! PLEASE, PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!

But Channel Ten brought in new writers who changed the story and characters for Seasons 6 and 7. As a result loads of fans were left disappointed by Seasons 6 and 7.
