They're a good watch. 3 movies based on the Peter Temple novels (on Netflix), and 3 series (ABC iView).
They spend a lot of time at the Napier
loved Mr Inbetween too
I read the series are basically extensions of the movies Larabee... would you recommend the series or movies or both?
I'd recommend both. All the series are basically stand alone with different plots/cases than the movies, with the only link with them and the movies being Jack's back story, the old buggers at the pub and a different sub plot involving a horse racing scam.
Some of his cases are linked through the series and movies, but I reckon you could watch any of them by themselves without a problem
Been watching Halt & Catch Fire on SBS. Drama about big tech computer engineer in the early 80s. Not too bad.

Halt And Catch Fire | Drama
Joe, Gordon and Cameron are a visionary, a computer engineer and a prodigy respectively whose innovations threaten the corporate behemoths of the time. Greed and ego won’t be the only challenges to their undertaking as they walk down risky but enticing new paths.
Tried White Lotus on Binge. Didn’t grab me.
Now trying a 4 part doco called The Lady and the Dale about a transsexual women in the states in the 70s who started a car manufacturing company making lightweight 3 wheeler low petrol consuming cars! And yes, it’s a true story!

That's a few years old. It was good but the 1st season was the best. Fictionalised history of Compaq without ever mentioning Compaq
Dark Side of the Ring. 3 series worth. I am not a huge either but the series is fascinating (not every ep is about specific wrestlers but sometimes bizarre events in wrestling history).
Yeah I knew it was older. Interesting you say S1 is the best. I've heard it's the opposite & that season 1 is the weakest.
I dont know if it's been mentioned before on this thread.
But I just watched The Murders at White House Farm, based on a true story in mid 1980s England is worth a look. 6 part series.
Freddie Fox plays a very good part as the son, brother & uncle of the victims.
On Netflix.

I was a Mary-Ann fan as young fella too, but I probably turn Ginger away these days. Although she seems a bit high-maintenance.
