External Reviews It was their parents, the nurses and doctors and I guess the places they sent them, some of them church based, but it appears it was not a religious movement, it was a misguided, parental moralist government movement against out of wedlock women. I'm even quite impressed with whoever is really singing. I always find I learn something from the shows and movies produced in Australia and Great Britain. User Ratings Tackles a lot of issues the cast are great. I find this very sad and depressing. I can certainly see that. I was shocked when I found out this was a forced government situation/program from the 1950's-1970's in Australia. I wasn't old enough to consider how it affected other countries around the world. FAQ Set in the late 60's it centres around the (to us now) heinous forced adoption practices that went on back then. I was born in 1957, so I have a vague memory of the Vietnam War and how it divided my country. Love Child proves to be a success for Australia. One lady said in a newspaper article she cannot watch it because she is one of the children who was taken from her mother, and it is too upsetting for her to watch. Bring on season 2!! Watching Love Child series has been a education leos_monkey 12 July 2014 Set in 1969 in Stanton House and Kings Cross General Hospital, Sydney a fictional boarding house for young unwed teenage girls and young women when they fall pregnant and a place for them so as not to shame their families. They have done a great job with the costumes, sets and everything 60's related so that it feels real. I watched the first season of this show, but never checked on it until the 2nd season. Babies, babies, everywhere!I can't wait for Season 4! It is truly beyond my comprehension how this was done to these women. To those thinking (review by jk-692-236394 (United States)) this only happened in Australia, do some research. This Aussie take on drama and misfortune surrounding single pregnant women in the late 1960s Australia presents compelling stories and characters. Or if you looked at the Call the Midwife show from the UK. Joan Millar the crusader ambitious nurse immediately makes an enemy with Matron Frances Bolton Mandy McElhinney) and Dr Patrick McNaughton (Jonathan LaPaglia) on how the patients and the babies are treated at Kings Cross General Hospital finds an ally in ex boyfriend in Philip Page (Ryan Johnson) a lawyer who helps fight Joan's cause. LOVE CHILD offers a poignant portrait of Leila and Sahand, an Iranian couple who, outlawed for their love, flee the country with their four-year-old son, Mani. | Nothing but the highest praise for the costuming, sets, props, etc. They seem to be hurtling toward epiphanies and revelations. Watching Love Child series has been a education. Australia has produced some of my favourite TV over the years and Love Child is no exception. It happened in the USA between 1940's and 1970's, google Baby Scoop Era. I actually have no interest in babies which is why I never watched this. Very authentic. | Stanton House represents a place single women lived and worked during their pregnancy, and promptly separated from their newborns. Metacritic Reviews. I'm so glad I did what great storytelling. It makes me want to time travel back and help these women and I feel helpless watching it. I was bored so found this on the 9Now app. Since I am American, when I watch certain Australian shows, I often end up doing some research to understand and learn what is happening or if it is based on real facts or history. | The show is depressing to me because of this as well. | I'm a huge fan of the 1960's, early 70's music and this show is packed with it. First, the show is great. Callus male doctors, a starchy matron, a crusading newcomer, and an ensemble of pregnant female characters who are diverse in looks, life experience and attitudes populate this effort. the girls are delightful. I think Australian television has finally figured out what it does best. I found this show upsetting in the way they seemed to force these poor girls to give up their babies. Whenever they try to create a modern show it comes off looking cheap and outdated but their past few attempts at reverting back to the 60's/70's has been really successful. Although the music is more mid 60s girl groups than the summer of love rock and roll.the cast is wonderful, the subject heartbreaking. It felt different from maternity homes in our history. I'm not sure but that I even knew that Australia sent military there. LOVE CHILD offers a poignant portrait of Leila and Sahand, an Iranian couple who, outlawed for their love, flee the country with their four-year-old son, Mani. The birth of Annie's (Gracie Gilbert) baby and the arrival of Sister Joan Millar played by the amazing and talented Jessica Marais back from London and one exam away from becoming a doctor marks the changing of times. After watching 3 seasons, it appears that Australia was very much a part of the sexual revolution!
