“Love Me” (2021) is a tender, soulful exploration of how love evolves through the unexpected turns of life. This series doesn’t rely on grand gestures or over-dramatized chaos—it shines in the quiet moments, the subtle emotions, and the intimate truths that define modern relationships.
Set in Melbourne, the story follows the Mathieson family as they each rediscover love after loss. What makes “Love Me” so deeply moving is its honesty. Every character is flawed, fragile, and beautifully human. The show approaches romance not as a fairy tale, but as something messy—full of compromises, vulnerability, and second chances.
The performances are outstanding. Hugo Weaving brings a haunting gentleness, while Bojana Novakovic and William Lodder deliver nuanced portrayals of people trying to understand themselves as much as the ones they care about. Their stories intersect like emotional threads—separate yet connected by grief, hope, and the longing to be seen.
Visually, the series captures Melbourne in shades of melancholy and warmth, with thoughtful cinematography that makes the city feel like another character—holding memories, secrets, and dreams. The writing is sharp, restrained, and courageous in its willingness to sit with uncomfortable emotions.

“Love Me” is not just about finding romance in surprising places; it is about choosing love repeatedly, even when it hurts. It reminds us that connection isn’t perfect, but it’s essential—and that healing often begins where honesty meets compassion.
Beautiful, bittersweet, and unexpectedly profound, “Love Me” is a quiet masterpiece of emotional storytelling.
