==Production== ===Development=== ''Winners & Losers'' was created by Bevan Lee. Lee wanted to create a drama focusing on females for a number of years before the programme's creation.<ref name=aus/> He also created ''[[Packed to the Rafters]]''.<ref name=one/> While the former is focused on family relationships, ''Winners and Losers'' concentrates on friendships and is aimed at a younger demographic.

===Critical response=== [[File:Melissa Bergland (cropped).jpg|thumb|150px|Melissa Bergland (''pictured'') won a [[Logie Award]] for her role as Jenny Gross.]] Jim Schembri of ''[[The Sydney Morning Herald]]'' praised the series branding it a "fresh, brightly coloured, high-end soap."

They said the series had "powerful themes of friendship, karma and justice for the underdog", which were portrayed in a subtle tone in comparison to other programmes.<ref name=age/> They branded it "an engaging hour of television" due to inclusion on comedy and a "large cast of lively characters." However they noted some of the "fresh" storylines were similar those featured in shows such as ''[[Sex and the City]]''.<ref name=age>{{cite web|title=Winners & Losers, Tuesday April 12|url=http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/winners--losers-tuesday-april-12-20110407-1d5ia.html|work=[[The Age]]|access-date=8 August 2011|date=12 April 2011|archive-date=20 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110820014129/http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/winners--losers-tuesday-april-12-20110407-1d5ia.html|url-status=live}}</ref> While their colleague Paul Kalina said the programme had played it safe by using similar elements that made ''Packed to the Rafters'' a success.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kalina|first=Paul|title=Winners & Losers, Tuesday April 5|url=http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/winners--losers-tuesday-april-5-20110331-1cih1.html|work=[[The Age]]|access-date=8 August 2011|date=5 April 2011}}</ref>

Bridget McManus from the publication reflected her opinion that the programme had lost its "edge" and had started to resemble a "poor girl's ''Sex and the City''."<ref name=bridget/> She noted the main problem was that "potentially interesting characters" were overlooked by the four females. McManus felt they were tired stereotypes, describing them as "the virgin, the damned whore, God's policewoman and a clown."<ref name=bridget>{{cite web|last=McManus|first=Bridget|title=Winners & Losers, Tuesday, June 21|url=http://www.theage.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/winners--losers-tuesday-june-21-20110616-1g5e0.html|work=[[The Age]]|access-date=8 August 2011|date=21 June 2011}}</ref> Debi Enker writing for ''[[The Sun-Herald]]'' said that the second series will require ''Winners & Losers'' to "lift its game" because the first was too reliant on caricatures.

Of the show's third season, Craig Mathieson of ''The Age'' questioned whether the show had become a soap opera. He accused it of having a "multiple personality disorder". He observed it switching from "thriller" to "hold-hands melodrama" and "gently comic ode to emotional strength" with each different character it focused on.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mathieson|first1=Craig|title=Hard to see the drama for the bubbles|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=nstore&kw=virginia+gay&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=nrm&clsPage=1&docID=AGE140128EC6QP6B72PE|website=[[The Age]]|location=Melbourne|access-date=7 July 2014|date=28 January 2014|archive-date=14 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714184003/http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=nstore&kw=virginia%20gay&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=nrm&clsPage=1&docID=AGE140128EC6QP6B72PE|url-status=live}}</ref>
