As in any good international crime drama, the ending of Detective Forst provides the big confrontation between the maverick detective and the sadistic serial killer....

If there’s one thing Netflix isn’t short of, it’s dour international crime dramas. The latest is Detective Forst, a six-part Polish series based on the...

Adapted from Trent Dalton’s novel and filmed in Brisbane, the seven-part Netflix series Boy Swallows Universe is an original and empathetic coming-of-age story, quite unlike anything else. Season 1...

Episode 7 of Boy Swallows Universe is, like the penultimate episode, more of a straight-up mystery than the more spirited and fantastical opening installments. But...
