Wonderland is another Australian series that I watched a while ago. Got into it because Michael Dorman is addictive.

Loved Wonderland! Now I’m watching Spirited (another Australian show).

I’ve tried to watch Offspring, but it’s so boring. How many episodes does it take? What’s so great about it? I’ll try again.

I didn’t love the first season of Offspring but kept with it because of recommendations. Plus I liked seeing show with a strong but imperfect female. And love the Aussie accents.

It took a few shows to get into it but by the end of the first season I was so totally hooked!

OP here-I'm into season 3, trying to slow down so it won't end so soon, but it's almost impossible to stop watching.

Also, I love Melbourne so much!

Would it be inappropriate to start a Go Fund Me so I can go visit Australia? I'm so poor I don't see it happening otherwise.

Just for scenery and a cool beach surf vibe, watch Wonderland. Looks like Bondi Beach but I think it's just a random Australian beach town. It's no Offspring, but it gives you the accent and Australia envy.

Thanks to the PPs who mentioned Wonderland. I love Australian accents, enjoyed Offspring except for a few things and had never heard of Wonderland. The only problem I'm having is the sound seems really off. The music is so loud and the dialogue so quiet that I keep having to fiddle with the volume. I'm only a few episodes in so hopefully that situation will improve.

Hmm. I didn’t have that problem.
Did you watch A Place to Call Home?
I paid for Acorn for a few months to watch a bunch of British and Australian shows.

I’m jealous you get to see this for the first time! I used to wish Hollywood would do an American remake. But they could not pull it off.

So I recently started watching this. Found it a little slow at first, then I started to get mildly interested but also annoyed at the plot. I thought I'd watch one more episode before quitting. And in that episode I reached "Your Sister's a Six and You're a Perfect Ten." Hilarious! I must go on.

Omg. I’m having that exact same problem as well!

I streamed Wonderland from Amazon Prime on my laptop, no sound problem.

I miss it! I'm trying out Offspring. Perhaps I would like it better in the setting of Wonderland. The moms (Maggie and Geraldine) on these shows remind me of each other. Maybe it's a common middle aged Australian haircut or something.

Thanks to Offspring, I watch almost any Australian show on Netflix or Prime. Lots of crossover actors!

I just started based on this board's recommendation and love the show. Saw this episode last night and the song is stuck in my head. Also ugly cried when they made up.

^ I’ve rewatched that song maybe 25 times over the last year or so. It is incredible — so funny and cringey, but the musicality of it is so good too. Eddie Perfect is awesome. Wait until you get to about Season 4-5 when he does an adorable song called “Billie Proudman, I Believe in You.” It will bring a smile every time.

I loved when Darcy sang and played the guitar at someone’s wedding.

I have downloaded the theme song (When We Swam) and some of John Waters' (Darcy) songs on Spotify, I love the music!

I finished all seven seasons a few weeks ago and I miss those people so much!

Getting ready to start Wonderland soon.
