What is the best Australian TV made in the last 20 years?
Bluey. Not even kidding, this is a TV show all about Australia and Australian culture disguised as a kids show. Sample episodes to watch: “Cricket”, “Stumpfest”, “The Decider”. There - that’s 20 minutes of TV that you can watch with or without kids and have a great time.
My wife loves the Phryne Fisher murder mysteries. She’s read every book multiple times and likes the TV adaptation.
Fisk seems to win all the awards.
IMHO, Australian Survivor is killing it. Better than the US version.
Alone Australia is so much better than any other “survival” reality shows. Not even in the same league.
I just can’t get into Alone since the thought occurred to me that it’s just a competition to see who can last the longest before they spiral into depression and/or a mental breakdown. 😟
Especially the American one when they ask the winner what they’ll spend the winnings on, and they say “my wife’s cancer treatment”. Like get a functioning healthcare system, then but a Lambo damn it!
How does Alone differ to Survivor? I think I know the basics of survivor from seeing a couple of episodes when it first started. I don’t know anything about Alone. Your comment makes it sound more like a documentary but I gather it’s still also a competition?

I’d say Mr. Inbetween, although I know literally nothing about Aussie TV beyond that show
