I've now rewatched the series THREE times, and I can't get enough of it. For an Australian series, it is brilliantly written, well-acted and the storyline is really original. I love the chemistry between Claudia and Matt's characters, and I think they were probably the best picks for their roles. It is incredibly QUIRKY! And I love the series for that, it's not like most series, it's original with its perks and quirks, funny characters and almost-cringe-worthy awkwardness at times, which goes to show how well-acted the cast played their roles. Of course I wished there was a season 3, but like I said, the show has been well written, and they left the series to finish in a 'satisfying' manner but still open for another season. I wish it could have got more popularity in Australia, it's a very good series and I recommend it to anybody who likes a well-written storyline with quirky characters and quirky plots, and of course fans who SHIP people, because the Henry/Suzy ship is definitely a likable CANON #FanTalk

I stumbled across this on Foxtel's catchup Drama option list and binge- watched the whole first season. It's a genuinely original storyline, it's well scripted and well acted. The sister and ex-husband are caricatures and they're there as much to add extra complications into the plot. But apart from their exaggerated story lines, the rest of the scripting is excellent.I really liked the developing relationship between Susie and Henry, the kindness that grows between them and the way in which he coaches her into opening herself up to people.It's just a lovely little series and I'm only sorry it didn't get more fanfare when it was originally released. As Molly Meldrum would say: 'Do yourself a favour ...'

My wife and I have just finished watching the final few episodes of season 2 of this wonderful, gentle and quirky series. Why there are no other reviews of season 2 and only a handful on series 1, I have no idea. For this is the kind of television production that exceeds expectations in every way. Feel good, funny, well acted, beautifully filmed, highly original and, given the concept, believable. And like other non-mainstream series that Australia, and, especially, Great Britain, occasionally throw up, Spirited appeared on our screen with minimal fanfare, was barely watched and disappeared with nary a trace. So sad. Spirited concerns the drawn out no-touch (well, mostly) love affair of socially inept dentist Suze and back-from-the-dead, jaded rock star Henry. From freaked out/irritable beginnings this relationship is destined for sweet interdependency. Lots of speedbumps along the way though. And plenty of other characters, both ghostly and real, to be fleshed out over the course of both seasons. Some characters, like Steve (Suze's ex) and Jonquil (her sister), can be annoying at first but come into their own eventually. The other ghosts who come and go in Suze's apartment block inhabit a complex world of their own , one where sadness and confusion is ever present but also one where both Henry and Suse can help bring wistful joy and resolution. My brother is, Jamie, is a 1st Assistant Director. Jane and I had watched season 1 and were waiting for season 2 to be released on DVD when Jamie mentioned his involvement in the final two episodes of season 2. So in case you wonder, we were already convinced fans. It is just a pity Claudia Kavan and Matt King, especially, won't be making more episodes of this great series.

What a wonderful show "Spirited" is - in this day of TV that must teach you something, embarrass you or scare the heck out of you, it's a real pleasure to watch a show that doesn't expect anything from you but to just sit back and enjoy. From the start you get swept into the story of Suzie and Henry (and family and friends - a great cast all round) and the impossible nature of their relationship.The leads - Matt King (comedian actor/writer from the UK) and Claudia Karvan (Aussie actress that's been on our screens for over 20 years) are cast perfectly as Henry and Suzie with the chemistry to match.I've just finished watching the final episode in the 1st Season and without giving anything away, I think it does give some answers but raises many more questions. These questions (hopefully) will be answered in the next Season (which begins filming in Australia in January 2011) and I for one cannot wait! If you can get hold of this show than please do so - it's so different from anything out there at the moment and it's worth every minute!
