To add onto what Hanrahan said, it’s also one of our state-funded channels (along with Special Broadcasting Service) so it’s a lot less commercialised. There are plenty of good shows started there and it’s sometimes a lot closer to indie content.

I highly recommend trying to find episodes of You Can’t Ask That (even if you have to torrent it), and if you like mockumentaries like The Office, I recommend Utopia (not to be confused with other shows elsewhere called Utopia), many clips are on YouTube to sample.
