In the cutthroat world of a commercial TV news, 1986, ambitious reporter Dale Jennings and notoriously “difficult” news star Helen Norville find themselves paired together. Covering an extraordinary chain of news events from the Challenger Disaster, to Halley’s Comet, to the AIDS crisis, Dale and Helen’s personal and professional lives begin to intertwine. This is a story of a grand, unconventional relationship in a world on the cusp of change.

It’s been one of the best dramas of the decade. With its third and final season now airing, the series has proven to be consistently compelling. Go to Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian 02/05/2025
3/5
Well-drawn characters, strong performances and a good pace keep this format engaging, although for me this latest -- and last -- season has dipped a little, losing spark and lustre. Go to Full Review Pedro Gallego Espinof Mar 4
The characters offer a wealth of material for storytelling, and are brought to life incredibly well by the script and by the highly accomplished and established actors who demonstrate their skill and artistry. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Sep 12

L. F @RT68678650 Oct 17 A perfect end to a brilliant series! Great characters, fantastic script, superb acting and captivating storytelling. In truth, they could've kept on going for many more seasons, but decided to wrap it up after 3, leaving the audience wanting more. I will miss these characters! See more Janette E @RT00753570 03/21/2025 My husband and I just finished watching the end of the brilliant Newsreader series and just sat there feeling sad, what to we watch now.! Series 3 was a fitting end to the series. Great Australian actors and story line. Thank you ABC See more Andrei D @RT74856639 02/18/2025 Still soapy, still struggling to sometimes deliver the right tone, still a little too focused on actual news See more Mackenzie V @Mackenzie329 02/12/2025 Amazing series. Real and dynamic characters with great chemistry and/or tension. Phenomenal finale. What an emotional rollercoaster with a satisfying conclusion. See more Read all reviews
