What the audience says
Neighbours is an average English series; it passes the time without demanding more of you. It's sitting at 6.1/10 on TMDB across 61 ratings, which puts it around the middle of the pack.
Is it worth starting?
This is 41 seasons deep — English soap with drama threaded through, fine for the whole family. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.

Story
Neighbours is an Australian television soap opera. The show's storylines concern the domestic and professional lives of the people who live and work in Erinsborough, a fictional suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. The series primarily centres around the residents of Ramsay Street, a short cul-de-sac, and its neighbouring areas, the Lassiters complex, which includes a bar, hotel, cafe, news office and park. Neighbours began with three families created by Watson – the Ramsays, the Robinsons and the Clarkes. Watson said that he wanted to show three families who are friends living in a small street.
