    There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

    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 ...'

    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!

    Without the stupid restrictions put on UK TV the Australians have come up with a stunner - not only brilliantly acted but written by someone with a deep understanding of current theory about what ghosts are and what can await us in the afterlife.The little, coincidental details are a delight - the backstage crew really knew what they were doing.As is often the case the Australian film industry plays a blinder.Great cast.Great theory making this believable to those of us who believe in a life after death, and giving those of you undecided something to think about.I can't wait to see the second series!

    Although Spirited is relatively new, the episodes that I have watched i've really enjoyed. The characters and unique and quirky and the storyline keeps you wishing for the next episode already! I do wonder, however, whether this show has longevity. Simply due to the storyline it seems questionable whether the show will continue on for seasons. I'm hoping that there is a twist or something similar that enables the show to continue because I am personally really excited for this show and really proud that it is Australian. Matt King and Claudia Karvan have great chemistry and play their parts extremely well, so hopefully i'm proved wrong and Spirited has a long life because it's got some great potential. Good job!!!
