Love Me (TV series)

Love Me is a story about relationship complexity for the father, daughter, and son of the Mathieson family, who are middle-class Australians living in Melbourne. Triggered by the death of the disabled mother, cared for by the father at home for some years, the three stumble in their lives. The premise is that finding each other in such a situation is a slow process. In series 1, Clara, a doctor, (Bojana Novakovic), Aaron (William Lodder), a 20-something law student, and their father Glenn (Hugo Weaving) are introduced, each with romantic entanglements. Melbourne scenes and occasionally Sorrento figure strongly in the series. Series 2 picks up nine months later with new challenges in their romantic relationships. Clara and partner Peter are trying to have a baby. Aaron is now a father to a baby with ex-girlfriend Ella (Shalom Brune-Franklin). Glenn's new partner is Anita (Heather Mitchell). ==Cast==
