Asher Keddie's Nina Proudman is deliriously happy at the start of the third series of Offspring.
Asher Keddie's Nina Proudman is deliriously happy at the start of the third series of Offspring.
Nina is passionately in love with anaesthetist Patrick Reid (Matthew Le Nevez), her career is going gangbusters and the sex is great.
Is it happy ever after?
Not once Nina's mind kicks into gear. She is worried that life is going too well.
"Does the adoring man have to be quite so lovely?" Nina ponders.
"My life is going too well. It means I'm inviting disaster."
Trouble is on its way.
Nina's apartment is destroyed by fire. A scented candle, lit for romance, is the culprit.
"It is just stuff. Fire can be a cleansing thing - burning away everything that doesn't matter," Nina says philosophically.
"Disaster has struck. Balance has been restored."
Unfortunately, there is a bigger blow coming.
Nina finds out that Darcy (John Waters) isn't her biological father.
Darcy's blood type is AB. Nina is type O. Nina's world is ripped apart.
The return of Offspring starts with Nina deliriously happy and ends with her homeless and realising she isn't a Proudman.
A lot of series can sink into complacency by series three, but not Offspring.
This is one Aussie drama, boosted by Keddie's wonderful performance, that gets better with age.
