The Boys Are Back with Clive Owen. Set in SA and has some really beautiful scenery. One of my faves. It’s a tear jerker. You’ve been warned
Yes! Agreed, that was a good one too. Thanks for sharing.
You wrote a wonderful piece on my Australian born but Kiwi Grand daughter
Artist. Writer living in New York

Mister Inbetween on FX (maybe Hulu) 3 seasons 2018 – 2021
Malcolm (1986) from David Parker and Nadia Tass. A classic- especially if you are from Melbourne and love trams.

The Castle, The Dish & Kenny…. Loved them all
