Just watch it. It improves - impossibly!- with each episode. Madcap, honest, touching, hilarious, romantic, never cruel, loving, never shallow even when it is. Every episode brings laughter, incredulity, love, dismay, disappointment, joy, tears - Nina's family is unlike any other, and exactly like the one you sort of wish you had.

This show is SPECTACULAR! I finished this show recently and already miss all of these people. Such well rounded, fleshed out characters. Beautiful scenes when they handle the loss of a child. It's just absolutely glorious. I will watch again and again!

It would be a great show and I do love it but it would be better if they wouldn't of killed off so many characters randomly and if everyone would stop leaving the show 1 by 1 other than that I love it

It's hard for me to appraise "Offspring" because after two episodes, I don't really know what it's aiming at. Essentially, it's a relationship drama, but it also presents the inner thoughts of its central character (via voice-over), which suggests to me that it's attempting commentary on... what I'm not exactly sure.The set of relationships depicted are themselves bizarre, and presented together with dream and fantasy sequences, naturalism clearly is not the aim.Unfortunately, all I was left with was a group of people I cared nothing for, in a place and time I cared nothing about, doing stuff I cared nothing about. So clearly, I didn't like it. But beyond that, I don't even know if it was any good in any kind of more objective sense. I won't be watching any more of this any time soon.
