Heartbreak High (TV Series) (2022)

Publish Date: April 8, 2024
"[2nd Season Review]: The show doesn’t always nail the balance between the comedy and its more serious aspirations, but by the end it feels just about right. A solid pass, with an A for effort (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of 5)"

Sydney Morning Herald
The Lovers (TV Series) (2023)

Publish Date: September 3, 2023
"On the basis of the three episodes available for preview (...) it takes the format and gives it a good old shake, and frequently surprises with where it goes."

The Age
The Reluctant Traveler (TV Series) (2023)

Publish Date: February 23, 2023

The Age
Black Snow (TV Miniseries) (2023)

Publish Date: December 28, 2022
"'Black Snow' must surely count as one of the braver exercises in Australian TV in recent years. It could have been a disaster, but it isn’t. It’s a real breath of fresh air. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of 5)"

The Age
The Offer (TV Miniseries) (2022)

Publish Date: August 10, 2022
"Not vision, not genius, not unique talent. Just whatever it takes. That's what 'The Offer' is about, and that's why, for all its many flaws, I reckon it's pretty great"

The Age
Troppo (TV Series) (2022)

Sydney Morning Herald
The Unusual Suspects (TV Miniseries) (2021)

Publish Date: May 27, 2021
"You may, like me, find the frenetic opening sequence and the broad comedy a little jarring at first. But once the show finds its rhythm (or the viewer does) it’s a hoot (…) Rating: ***½ (out of 5)"

Sydney Morning Herald
The Night Caller (TV Series) (2020)

Publish Date: December 1, 2020

Publish Date: August 2, 2019
"A complex film (...) Watch it with an open mind, though, and you might just feel something of the impact our history has had on indigenous people (…) Rating: ****½ (out of 5)"

The Age
Jirga (2018)

Publish Date: January 2, 2019
