If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I was looking for shows from other countries for variety. I loved Spirited, loved A Moody Christmas, then I watched Mr and Mrs Murder, which I like, that led me to Offspring, which I love. After watching all 3 seasons of that I decided to try Love my Way. First off I still cannot get used to how much swearing and bare sex there is on these shows. The swearing is off the charts. They say the F word constantly, and it seems like everyone swears with gusto, adults, old people, teenagers, no bother there. I do not enjoy that. Plus why does everyone sleep around and with fellow family members from the main characters families so much? That is weird to me. I tried Tangle but by then I was sick of the same people in all the shows and they started to feel very the samey. Next I liked the shows at first but then I noticed all the same actors seem to be on all the shows and movies and specials. It was weird. Like Kat Steward seems to be on 3 things at once. It kinda sucks the uniqueness out the actor or actress. On Love my Way, I found Charlie, Julia and many characters very unappealing on this show. They are rude, nasty and selfish jerks. Charlie did win me over a bit in the final season. I really hated the whole stepson story. It just did not fit with the rest of the show. Also why was was Lewis, who is a former addict drinking and smoking pot? That being said I did watch all 3 seasons. The acting and story line around losing Lou was moving and honest. I was impressed with that. I would recommend this still to people. It could of used more humor. It was rather bleak at times and so serious. Offspring has a fun lightness to it. I love the comedy. Asher Keddie in Offspring is so adorable, where I could not stand her in Love my Way. I am glad I watched Offspring first. I am surprised the States have not come a calling for Asher Keddie, but that might happen now with Offspring showing her off better. Also I found so much good music I never heard of before from all the different shows. Thanks Australia!

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

I agree with all the others here. It's definitely one of the best shows I've ever seen!! The acting is brilliant and the story unfolding is just...right. It's not too much, it't just VERY realistic; it feels like life. How life is...Episode 8 and 9 probably gave me the worst (and with "worst" I don't mean it in a bad way, I mean tearful and absolutely heartbreaking) moments I've had on TV. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Actually, I'm still thinking...and grieving...Anyway, big thanks to all the actors and writers involved for giving me an absolutely fantastic TV-experience every Thursday here on the other side of the world. Can't wait for the the 2nd season!!!:)

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?! Nadine
