Mystery Road on ABC iView season 3. Almost cinematic in the filming.

True Colours on SBS on demand. Great new series.

Mystery Road is great.
Enjoyed the previous seasons with Aaron Pederson as the lead

Was a bit dubious about the this prequel season 'Origins' but it is is just as good. Like the previous seasons and movies, the look and feel is stunning.

True Colours is next on the list to watch.

Watching the 2nd season of Only Murders in the Building on Disney+ and season 3 of The Orville on SBS.

You’ll like True Colours

If u watch SBS on demand try:

The Minister (from Iceland) &
Manayek (from Israel)

Both are great watching

New season of MKR and The Block started basically same time.

Had a look at both, really like the new look MKR with Nigella instead of Pete, CBF watching all the usual Block bullshit during the week.

Watch MKR during the week, Block on Sunday night when you get the room reveal and a full recap of the week anyway.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Just finished Fearless, inside story of the AFLW (season 6) on Disney+.
Very good, a bit raw in places, but a great insight to what goes on behind the scenes.

Currently watching Rings of Power (Lord of the Rings prequel) on Prime.
Took an episode or 2 to understand where everything fits in - helps if you know a bit about LOTR. Similar feel to the movies but a bit more character development.

And also watching Andor on Disney+.
Enjoy anything Star Wars but this has an entirely different feel to the most recent series (Mando, Boba Fett & Obi Wan). Prequel to Rogue One, more of a spy thriller and a bit more grim.

SBS on demand. Brilliant TV cop (internal affairs investigations) 40 minute episodes. Brilliant Israeli drama 10 x 40 minute episodes, 2 series. Wow, tightly written.
