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.

Babylon Berlin 

What a Brilliant show. 3 Seasons so far....

Just watched the first 2 episodes ... I'm hooked (totally)  Great recommendation Wyl.

There's quite a bit of excellent European Drama to watch ... just need to find the time to watch it all!

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

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
