If you haven't already had the pleasure of watching Sisters, the Australian family drama series, then you really are missing out. Sisters follows Julia Bechly, played by Maria Angelico, who is the only daughter of Noble Prize winning Julius Bechly.
His life's work in the field of fertility has made him a superstar. But when he confesses that he used his own donations to fertilise women without their knowledge, Julia's world is turned upside down. Turning lemons into lemonade she decides to locate her siblings and discovers she has two sisters. The show follows the three women as they come to terms with the revelation. In typical Aussie style, Sisters is expertly written with perfectly times drama, comedy and poignant moments. It's a winner!
But what should you watch if you've filled your boots with Sisters? Is it the family interplay that caught your attention? Or was it the on-point style of the Australian script? Whatever the reason, our choices below should fill the time nicely.
Offspring
A fun family drama, Offspring is centred on obstetrician Nina Proudman and her family and friends, as they navigate the chaos of modern life. With great storylines, cast, plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and seven seasons available on Netflix, this is a great show to binge on.
The Letdown
An endearing, sympathetic and highly relatable comedy drama that perfectly captures the struggles of new parenthood as we follow a sleep deprived, over-whelmed Audrey trying to find a new normal in an unfamiliar world of babies and motherhood. It is honest, very funny and well worth a watch.
Life In Pieces
If you're looking for a new comedy to binge on then Life In Pieces is just what you need. Families, in-laws, siblings and relationships are all in the mix in this sharp and very funny comedy. Think Modern Family meets Arrested Development!
The Durrells
It's 1935 in Bournemouth and Louisa Durrell is a young widow with four children. Hoping for a better life, she packs up the family and moves them all to Corfu. The Durrells is funny, witty and at times quite poignant. A brilliantly sharp adaptation of Gerald Durrell's autobiographical trilogy and great for a binge!
Hopefully you'll find at least one of these recommendations to your liking. Sadly there is still no news as to whether Sisters will be back for Season 2. But the four shows above are equally as engaging and entertaining. They all have a really great family dynamic and will make you think as well as laugh out loud. Enjoy!
