Review of Spirited

Spirited (2010–2011)
How refreshing!!

How very refreshing it is to have another Aussie series of such quality and pure entertainment value. What I love most about Aussie (and UK) productions is that the producers don't feel the need to patronise their viewers into a coma as American producers tend to do (excluding HBO). You can watch shows such as this at whatever level you want to and read whatever you choose to into them.

The premise of a ghost/human relationship is obviously not new, but the the Spirited writers have put a take on it that makes the series unpredictable, engaging and altogether delightfully different. There's plenty of subtle humour with just enough pathos to counter-balance things. Great acting all round, as you'd expect from the sprinkling of well or better known names involved. Rodger Corser as the narcissistic Steve is brilliant. (What a prat!!) Karvan and King have an almost palpable chemistry and if they don't get together by the end of Series 2 I will be sorely disappointed! I could ramble on, but won't - just watch it!
