The Yogurt Shop Murders: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “Brown has created a highly moving documentary and not simply a story about an elusive, frustrating investigation.” – The Australian Mar 27, 2026 Full Review Scarpetta: Season 1 (2026) 58% EDIT “I’m sure many will binge the series, happy to ride out the contradictions, the unbalanced timelines, and the sometimes lazy acting, and delight in Kidman’s aura but Scarpetta fans will be a little disappointed.” – The Australian Mar 16, 2026 Full Review Unfamiliar: Season 1 (2026) 80% EDIT “There are some classy, high-end action sequences from director Lennart Ruff, who is terrific at trim, taut set pieces.” – The Australian Mar 9, 2026 Full Review Under Salt Marsh: Season 1 (2026) 100% EDIT “Under Salt Marsh is a bit of a slow burn, but it’s a finely crafted tonal piece, of what might be called Welsh noir, about the death of a child.” – The Australian Feb 20, 2026 Full Review Hijack: Season 2 (2026) 74% EDIT “It’s frantically and cleverly set up. We have no real idea of what is happening but, like Nelson, are along for the ride. And like the first season, this suspension of disbelief is painfully entertaining.” – The Australian Feb 14, 2026 Full Review Lord of the Flies: Season 1 (2026) 91% EDIT “Munden anchors Golding’s use of symbolism, and his abstract, philosophical concepts, easily in the naturalism of the boy’s performances...” – The Australian Feb 9, 2026 Full Review The Beauty: Season 1 (2026) 72% EDIT “Murphy again revels in the juxtaposition of the beautiful and the ugly and violent, and the series is shot with his distinguishing sense of aesthetic fascination. ” – The Australian Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Run Away: Season 1 (2026) 83% EDIT “Brocklehurst effortlessly establishes several plots from the beginning, the production effortlessly directed by Rashed, who lets the storylines unfold with no extraneous fussiness. ” – The Australian Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Lowdown: Season 1 (2025) 98% EDIT “The Lowdown is a terrific writerly show and Harjo cleverly manoeuvres the problems of guilt and complicity in such a way that he might have gained a round of applause from the late Elmore Leonard, who knew a thing or two about making crime entertaining.” – The Australian Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Parish: Season 1 (2024) 36% EDIT “It is not only entertaining – if occasionally convoluted, with plotting that can be inconsistent – but anchored by a superb central performance from Esposito. ” – The Australian Jan 6, 2026 Full Review The Monster of Florence: Season 1 (2025) 53% EDIT “It’s worth persevering with but ultimately, despite Sollima’s best intentions and some fine filmmaking at times, the series may leave you just as lost as those who investigated the case.” – The Australian Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Pluribus: Season 1 (2025) 99% EDIT “It’s a startling piece of storytelling, beautifully formed and superbly held together by Seehorn.” – The Australian Dec 15, 2025 Full Review DMV: Season 1 (2025) 65% EDIT “The focus is on scene-by-scene, shot-by-shot storytelling, and it’s far less stagy, more art-directed, exemplifying the way the sitcom is breaking away from its origins as self-contained short plays for TV...” – The Australian Dec 15, 2025 Full Review The Iris Affair: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “It is an absurd and preposterous story that just happens to be absurdly and preposterously entertaining, though it must be said that at times there’s a lot to get your head around when it dips into mathematics, consciousness and ethics.” – The Australian Dec 15, 2025 Full Review The Last Frontier: Season 1 (2025) 46% EDIT “The production is all class, the many set pieces organised with ruthless efficiency by Hargrave and the clever use of the soundtrack – similar to The Blacklist – wittily enhances mood and dramatic texture.” – The Australian Dec 15, 2025 Full Review House of Guinness: Season 1 (2025) 90% EDIT “It’s a teeming caper, superbly directed by Shankland, about family and ambition, and the fight for Irish independence, the scenes of opulence and ornate Victorian elegance intercut with the kind of steampunk aesthetic of the functioning brewery itself...” – The Australian Dec 15, 2025 Full Review Mystery Road: Origin: Season 2 (2025) EDIT “While there are some discrepancies in the scripting at times, and the pacing a little uneven at others, this season is a worthy successor to the earlier iterations.” – The Australian Oct 17, 2025 Full Review I Was Actually There: Season 2 (2025) EDIT “By combining these diverse voices into a unified narrative, the show offers a fresh and authentic exploration of these [historical] events.” – The Australian Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Task: Season 1 (2025) 96% EDIT “Inglesby gives us a morally complex story about human folly that finally suggests the way fate often casts a long shadow and, in this case, adds a sense of inevitability that heightens the suspense.” – The Australian Oct 4, 2025 Full Review Katrina: Come Hell and High Water: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “...Lee and his fellow directors Geeta Gandbhir and Samantha Knowles document the devastation and far-reaching human impact on the city of New ­Orleans, when Katrina made landfall in 2005, with compelling creativity and conviction.” – The Australian Sep 26, 2025 Full Review The Paper: Season 1 (2025) 85% EDIT “The Paper is droll enough to start, though a bit chaotic, and it will take a while for the actors to fully inhabit their roles. But then so was The Office, and look what happened to that series.” – The Australian Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Fallout: Season 1 (2024) 93% EDIT “As a production, Fallout is impeccably thought-through, intricately detailed, scenically dazzling and richly immersive.” – The Australian Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser: Season 1 (2025) 72% EDIT “Borgman shows how [The Biggest Loser program] – like so many in the genre – skilfully blurred the conventional boundaries between fact and fiction, and drama and documentary.” – The Australian Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Ballard: Season 1 (2025) 100% EDIT “Connelly’s LA is a kind of fabricated city, many fragments representing the whole, forming the right setting for stories of such psychological focus, private obsession, and trauma.” – The Australian Sep 2, 2025 Full Review Trainwreck: Season 1, Episode 3 (2025) EDIT “Such stories are always so fascinating, I think, because they represent a kind of dramatic extended journalism in which the producers enter the public domain themselves as a kind of detective, reconstructing the story to supplement the public record.” – The Australian Aug 21, 2025 Full Review
