They are not from last year, but in case you missed them, "Secret City" and "Wellness Mania".

Some of my wife and my favorites. See: My Life is Murder, Mystery Road, Jack Irish, 800 words, Crownies, Miss Fisher. Brokenwood Mysteries is good but set in NZ.

The Letdown was very good but only two seasons then canceled. On Netflix, still worth a watch IMO.

If you want something with a Tasmanian flavour I'd recommend Bay of Fires (dark comedy), and Rosehaven (comedy).

Wanted is fabulous! It's about 2 women on the run from the law. The scenes are from all around Australia, into New Zealand and Indonesia. It's funny, too. I watched it on Netflix a few years ago.

Glitch is a really interesting show! Supernatural mystery elements, good character writing, heavy emotional beats

Fisk - A comedy drama. Good fun. Don't know if you can stream...

lofturs.bsky.social•60 days ago

Oh yes! It's on Netflix and is just wonderful.

Mr Inbetween on Disney+ is a great and touching (!) dark-ish comedy drama about relatable Ray and his everyday life as a Dad, family man and torpedo/muscle man in smalltown Australia. So good.

Black Snow, and the two Mystery Road series are great, Hildur.

Mr In-between is very good. It’s on the violent side, though.

Colin from Accounts is brilliant

Ooh and the Newsreader!

peterwjharrigan.bsky.social•60 days ago

Try Cleverman if you can find it. Sort of indigenous sci-fi/fantasy.

waitwtf.bsky.social•60 days ago

Kath and Kim! Absolutely a classic
The Katering Show! Destined to be a classic, written and starring Deadloch’s writers.

I also have fallen in love with Australian and agree with all the recommendations here especially Boy Swallows Universe and The Tourist with Olafur Darri Olafurson playing a big loudmouth Texan.

silvskylark.bsky.social•60 days ago

Have you watched 'The Tourist' with Jamie Dornan? I think it may be on Netflix now. Originally screened on the BBC in the UK.

atticusfey.bsky.social•59 days ago

Deadloch has a second season, in case you didn't already know.

hildur.bsky.social•59 days ago

I did know and I can’t wait!

karenblair.bsky.social•60 days ago

Oh, and Boy Swallows Universe ( Netflix) is amazing. Wondrous coming of age story, about a boy and his mute brother, growing up in 1980's Brisbane, with elements of fantasy, + crime families and more.

katelovesawalk.bsky.social•60 days ago

Very much agree with this recommendation for all of you to watch.

Redfern Now is an older show, but excellent. About Aboriginal families in a gritty Sydney suburb. Used to be on Netflix, think it's on Amazon Prime now.
