I wasn't old enough to consider how it affected other countries around the world. 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. Although the music is more mid 60s girl groups than the summer of love rock and roll.the cast is wonderful, the subject heartbreaking. This Aussie take on drama and misfortune surrounding single pregnant women in the late 1960s Australia presents compelling stories and characters. Australia has produced some of my favourite TV over the years and Love Child is no exception. I watched the first season of this show, but never checked on it until the 2nd season. I find this very sad and depressing. 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. After watching 3 seasons, it appears that Australia was very much a part of the sexual revolution! It felt different from maternity homes in our history. Metacritic Reviews.

It happened in the USA between 1940's and 1970's, google Baby Scoop Era. 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. Or if you looked at the Call the Midwife show from the UK.

They have done a great job with the costumes, sets and everything 60's related so that it feels real. Bring on season 2!! | Love Child proves to be a success for Australia. It makes me want to time travel back and help these women and I feel helpless watching it. External Reviews I think Australian television has finally figured out what it does best. First, the show is great. It is truly beyond my comprehension how this was done to these women. 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. Babies, babies, everywhere!I can't wait for Season 4! Tackles a lot of issues the cast are great. I'm a huge fan of the 1960's, early 70's music and this show is packed with it. Very authentic.

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. The show is depressing to me because of this as well. I always find I learn something from the shows and movies produced in Australia and Great Britain. Set in the late 60's it centres around the (to us now) heinous forced adoption practices that went on back then. I'm even quite impressed with whoever is really singing.

I'm not sure but that I even knew that Australia sent military there. Stanton House represents a place single women lived and worked during their pregnancy, and promptly separated from their newborns. | 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. I can certainly see that. the girls are delightful. I was bored so found this on the 9Now app. They seem to be hurtling toward epiphanies and revelations.
