You’re probably sitting down to read this with a glass of wine in your hand after a frantically busy day at work.
Normally, I would feel sorry for you. But right now your life is no where near as busy as Nina Proudman’s.
She’s got that whole single mother/new girlfriend/acting head of obstetrics/sisterly shoulder to cry on juggling act going on and lets just say she’s not quite handling it.
Throw in the fact that she somehow has to fit catching newborn babies into that already packed schedule and you have yourself a work/life balance pickle of epic proportions.
Need to catch up on last week’s episode of Offspring? Read that equally upsetting and hilarious recap right here.
Thank goodness for the uncomplicated, undemanding patience of Harry, whose existence I have questioned in the past, but who I now realise is there to provide a blank canvas for Nina to react against.
He’s also there to stay at home with Zoe while Nina roams around to different sets and has adventures. Thus solving the age old TV dilemma of what to do with kids who were introduced to further the plot and now no longer serve much of a purpose.
Friends had baby monitors with science fiction levels of range and sound. Offspring has Harry.

It just doesn't seem to be the same show at all. It is crazy and really doesn't reflect the age and stage of its characters. It can still be funny yet grown up. I think Zara and Jimmy' s relationship has always had its issues. They came together because they were expecting a baby together. They tried, it is real for those reasons it isnt working out so far. I don't feel the show has the depth to do these kinds of storylines anymore. It is difficult to watch as it is now. Will and Kerry reflect a bit of Jimmy and Zara in the beginning when she yelled at him about not being ready for a dog. That didnt seem to play out like it could have between Will and Jimmy maybe making that realisation.
I don't feel there is chemistry between Nina and Harry either. I may not continue with this season which makes me sad. I have thoroughly enjoyed this shoe in the past.
The more it goes on, the worse it gets. They've killed it by letting it go this far. Please let it stop
