Storyline for Love Me on Hulu
Explores modern love as experienced by different family members at different stages of life.
The first original series from streaming platform Binge, Love Me is a classy Melbourne-set drama directed by Emma Freeman (Stateless, Glitch) and written by Alison Bell, Leon Ford, Adele Vuko and Blake Ayshford.
Adapted from the Swedish series Älska mig, it’s a romantic drama with a familial twist – we don’t realise the three distinct main characters whom the show follows are related until they congregate around the dinner table.
We’re first introduced to Clara (Bojana Novakovic), in her late 30s, while she’s on a date with a bloke she met on an app, who discusses “ethical non-monogamy” over breakfast before pointing out she’s underpaid her portion of the bill by 50 cents.
Focus shifts to Aaron (William Lodder), a 20-something law student who misses his bus to uni due to sexy times with his girlfriend (Shalom Brune-Franklin), though we soon learn he’s not the reckless, carefree type; he takes his schooling seriously.
Finally we meet the middle-aged Glenn (Hugo Weaving) while he’s booking a vacation at a travel planner for himself and his wife. After he balks at a $20,000 price tag, the lady behind the desk informs him there are “gold, silver or bronze” packages, to which Glenn returns one of those thinking-out-loud responses: “How about copper? Or tin?”

Watch Love Me on Hulu – All the characters are vividly detailed and well acted, with Clara the most dynamic – brought to life in an affably hard-nosed way by Novakovic, and whom we really root for: we want her to find someone decent.
The ever-reliable Weaving begins in downcast mode then lightens up, playing an avuncular kind of everyman, at one point describing himself as “just like anybody”.
Watch Love Me on Hulu – Lodder plays the brasher and more intemperate – perhaps less likable – member of the bunch, as a man who lacks maturity and life experience but is gradually coming into his own, learning some things the hard way.
