MYSTERY ROAD

(ABC/iView)

Look at the cast alone – Aaron Pedersen, Judy Davis, Deborah Mailman, Colin Friels, Wayne Blair, Anthony Hayes, Ernie Dingo, John Waters – and you already know Mystery Road is shaping up to be a contender for the best Australian drama aired in 2018. It’s been garnering international acclaim in advance, and I defy anyone to watch the trailer and not want to watch the whole lot in a single hit. Benjamin Law is the creator and co-writer of SBS’s award-winning comedy The Family Law, which returns in 2018, with all episodes so far available on SBS On Demand.
