If you liked Black Mirror you'll almost certainly like Electric Dreams

Both are anthology series and I liked both equally despite Black Mirror having a very high rating as compared to Electrics Dreams very good rating.  In fact,  I have found the Electric Dream anthology series to be a bit more thought provoking.  

A terrific cast are involved too including Steve Buscemi,   Geraldine Chaplin,  Brian Cranston,  Karin Anglin,  Greg Kinnear & Timothy Spall.

'Barry' is an absolute riot ... the best show I've seen this year.

Half hour episodes of the Comedy/Crime/Drama is the standard fare but it works well in that format (much like 'Homecoming' does with 30 minute episodes as well)

Bill Hader is cast ideally in the lead although Henry Winkler steals the show ... the show in its first year won 3 Emmy's and was nominated for 9 other Emmy awards.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/jan/10/slow-train-coming-sbs-to-air-17-hour-ghan-train-on-sunday

Following the success/controversy of airing a three-hour extract of a train trip through the Australian outback, SBS has decided to air a 17-hour version of the journey on Sunday.

Could be interesting... trying to remember but didn't SBS have a test pattern or similar years ago that rated quite well?

The ABC have a camera on a freshly painted wall, it’s a tough choice between watching this and the Ghan on SBS. 

The visual media Corporate's are just getting ready for the Free to Air shutdown.   The Indian-Pacific and test patterns will star again.

TV bandwidth is wanted for 5G mobile telecommunications.

 

Corporate's are using this reason to burn off Free TV.

A new show that might be worth a look is 'Emergence' ... Here's the IMDb link

Channel 9 are showing the series soon or the DVD of the completed first series could be available.  Haven't seen the show yet but I like the premise & storyline.  Sci-fi/Drama/Mystery

And the trailer ...

 

And 'Evil' looks to be interesting as well ... IMDb link

If you have Netflix check out 'The Kominsky Method'. Starring Michael Douglas as an acting coach and Alan Arkin as his agent, two grumpy old friends. Both funny and sad. Fantastic. Won Golden Globes etc. 2 seasons (16 episodes, but only 26 minutes each, so they are bite size).

I've been watching the What We Do in the Shadows series on Foxtel... fantastic!  Also just started watching an oldish series (2016) Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on NetFlix and it's shaping up as a brilliant watch.

Yep ... doing that as I heard the English dubbed version is lousy and I never watch dubbed version's anyway.

It's quite a lavish production ... they've spared no expense and the various story lines already look very interesting.  Costumes,  acting,  cinematography & set designs are superb.  German film making at its finest.

Set nearly 100 years ago but the viewer feels like you're taken back to that time period.

I will binge on this show!

It cost a huge amount, maybe the highest budget drama from Germany. 
A 4th Season was in planning when Covid hit

'Perry Mason 2020' (TV Drama Series)

Set in the early 1930's ... crime-drama, gritty,  realistic, top quality,  high production values

Borrows very little from the iconic TV series but there are a few links that fit nicely

I can't remember where I read that season 3 was the last. I was under that impression but just doing some " research " have found they may be filming again in 2021. Shall see what happens.

I just watched the first part of Exposed The Ghost Train Fire.

Compelling viewing. Although the interviews with the fathers of 2 of the victims and the widow/mother of other victims were heartbreaking.

I commend this to fellow 'landers.

'Resident Alien' is good for a few laughs ... surprisingly so in fact

Seems like an old idea but they've done it well.  Alan Tudyk is very good in the lead role ... the show can be viewed on 9Now

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
