Swift Street
It’s said that nothing strengthens a relationship more than being in cahoots with someone. For young Elsie (Tanzyn Crawford), this old adage couldn’t be any truer. When her down-on-his-luck father Robert (Cliff Curtis) racks up $26k in mobster debt, the two must get their hands dirty to save his life. As the lovingly chaotic father-daughter duo execute their heists, one thing is certain: crime is truly relative. Overflowing with homegrown talent, including superstar Keiynan Lonsdale (Dance Academy, Love, Simon) and Filipina rapper BVT (Erotic Stories, Class of ‘07), you absolutely cannot miss your turn onto Swift Street.
Swift Street is now streaming at SBS On Demand.

Juice
Meeting the parents is never a walk in the park, but for someone brown and queer, it may as well be a triathlon. When Jamma (Mawaan Rizwan)’s hunky and mature white boyfriend Guy (Russell Tovey) urges him to take their relationship to the next level, the walls start to close in. Rizwan’s naive and playful Jamma is an anti-hero that hits close to home. No literally, his IRL parents play his TV parents, giving the series a surreal and juicy edge only an ethnic mum can.

Atlanta
Donald Glover’s pen is mightier than any sword. Known otherwise as rapper Childish Gambino, Glover’s writing is rich, complex, and painfully clever, and Atlanta is no exception. Equal parts surreal and socially grounded, the series follows a young trio (and later, quartet) of musical entrepeneurs. In their search for fame, they must navigate the realities (and ‘surrealities’) of being Black artists in America. This series stands as a comical conversation starter, and as you follow their journey, the viewer too is confronted with some harsh, yet necessary, truths about race, culture and privilege. Absolutely no skips.
All four seasons of Atlanta are now streaming at SBS On Demand.
Creamerie
Set in New Zealand’s lush countryside, this dark comedy is anything but - and for good reason. Creamerie asks an age-old question - can the world actually survive without men? After a deadly virus wipes out the male population, a cult-ish cluster of women rebuild the world. When three friends (Ally Xue, J. J Fong, Perlina Lau) encounter the seemingly last surviving man on Earth (Jay Ryan), the trio is faced with a conundrum: hand him to the cult, or join him in his quest for the truth. As they carefully prod the latter, this post-apocalyptic series proves playful, painful and packed with laughs. The first season’s cliffhanger had viewers in shambles, and eager fans waited two years for an answer (myself included). Thankfully, you don’t have to.
Creamerie seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming at SBS On Demand.

Scrubs
A fresh-faced Zach Braff leads an ensemble cast of budding comics in this rambunctious hospital sitcom. A wholesome palate cleanser from the drama-heavy Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs also follows a posse of young hot medical professionals - just with more sh*ts and giggles. Braff plays John ‘J.D’ Dorian, a sprite intern at Sacred Heart Hospital. He’s joined by bromantic interest Turk (Donald Faison) and will-they-won’t-they Elliot (Sarah Chalke) - fellow interns eager to take their careers to the next level. Can J.D get his life together and save someone else’s too? The Scrubs cast had a mini-reunion . Could a reinstalment be in the works? Stethoscopes crossed.
Scrubs seasons 1 to 9 are now streaming on SBS On Demand.

Rurangi
Another great series from our friends across the Tasman (less apocalyptic though, but just as many trees!), Rurangi follows the reluctant journey back to his hometown of young trans man Caz (Elz Carrad) . As Caz eases into the world he purposely left behind, his best friend Anahera (Awhina-Rose Ashby) fights on the frontline in their town council’s struggle to keep the Maori language alive. An old lover is soon thrown into the mix, proving for Caz that a transition, of any kind, is never easy. Rurangi, both the series and the town in which it’s set, is lamington-jam-packed with heart and home.

Two Weeks To Live
It’s hard to shake Maisie Williams from her iconic Game Of Thrones portrayal, but perhaps that’s for good reason. In Two Weeks To Live, she carries Arya’s flame as Kim, an independent strong-willed daughter, raised off the grid by her survivalist mother, seeking revenge for the murder of her father. Trained ferociously in combat by her mother (Sian Clifford) and armed with something other than a Needle, Kim thinks she has a two-week window to avenge her father’s death. The lone wolf makes new connections along the way, and she is given a glimpse of a ‘normal’ world. Perhaps it’s not ‘Valar morghulis! (All men must die!)’ after all.

Threesome
Is three truly a crowd? As ethical non monogamy and other ‘alternative’ relationship types tear through the modern dating scene, this Nordic drama is at the forefront. When Swedish high school sweethearts David (Simon Loof) and Siri (Matilda Källström) encounter an alluring Camilla (Alma Jodorowsky) on a night out, their reputable relationship is turned upside down. As the two dabble in polyamory, their loyalties are tested. It’s the eventual appearance of John (Lucien Laviscount, Emily In Paris) that turns this crowd into a party. I recommend watching this show on your own or with a loved one - perhaps even in threes, we won’t judge!
Threesome seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming at SBS On Demand.
