Old Croc Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 "Les Norton". Crime (comedy). Set in Sydney's Kings X in the 80's. Some realistic characters depicted. Watch for the young Thai sex slaves featured in the first episode. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9548022/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there are only about ten available as ebooks (free ones that is!) I started in with Mud Crab Boogie. As I digress another very funny Aussie author is Colin Cotterill. His Dr Siri and Jimm Juree books are spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related to Mr Inbetween? (2nd series coming) Yes, Mr Inbetween had a bit of a Les Norton feel to it, wouldn't surprise if the writers we're Robert G Barrett fans.

phuketrichard Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 "Our Boys", just started about the killing of 3 Israeli kids in 2014 Not sure if mentioned but "the loudest voice" was very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psimbo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I forgot 'The Boys'- not normally my thing but I did enjoy it. Anthony Starr from Banshee is in it. Regarding the Norton books I would have liked to have begun at the start but there's only ten ebooks available, some of them are the standalones.

bendejo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I started watching Succession. Each character more odious than the next. There's moments when you begin to sympathize with a certain character, and soon enough they do something that makes you dislike them even more. Brian Cox is great in this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
