Spirited is an Australian television series that first aired in 2010 on W Channel. Starring Claudia Karvan as Suzy Darling, a dentist who unexpectedly finds herself able to communicate with the spirit world. Spirited follows Suzy as she navigates her newfound gift and the strange world that comes along with it.

Suzy is a functional alcoholic who struggles with her personal life, including her failing marriage with her husband Steve Darling (played by Rodger Corser). Despite her alcoholism, Suzy is a talented dentist who loves her work and is dedicated to her patients. Her life changes forever when she meets Henry Mallet (played by Matt King), a ghost who haunts her house. Henry is a suave and confident ghost, who enjoys drinking and smoking cigars. Suzy initially tries to ignore Henry, but he is persistent and eventually convinces Suzy to help him resolve some unfinished business from his life.

As Suzy begins to communicate with Henry more frequently and he starts to trust her, Suzy discovers a whole new world beyond the living. She learns there are many different types of spirits, including those who are benevolent and those who are malevolent. Suzy's gift also puts her in contact with other people who have different abilities, including those who can see ghosts or have psychic powers.

The series is a blend of drama, comedy, and supernatural elements. The show is shot beautifully, with stunning cinematography and production design. The dialogue is witty and sharp, with excellent comedic timing by all actors. Claudia Karvan is particularly outstanding as the flawed and complex Suzy. She portrays Suzy’s struggles with her addiction, relationships, and her duty to the spirits she encounters in a raw and honest manner.

Spirited is a unique and refreshing show that explores the themes of addiction, mortality, loss, and love with sensitivity and nuance. At its core, Spirited is a show about the human condition, and how it is possible to find redemption, happiness, and love even in the most unexpected places. It is also a show about the power of empathy, and how the ability to understand and communicate with others, even those from beyond the veil, can help people grow and heal.

Although Spirited only lasted for two seasons, it made a significant impact on Australian television. The show was nominated for several awards, including the Logie Award for Most Outstanding Drama Series, and was well received by audiences and critics alike. Spirited is a memorable and moving show that is sure to captivate anyone who enjoys supernatural dramas or character-driven stories.
