Welcome to October, usherer of spring and Square-eye City for fans of top TV. There’s a bounty of blockbuster movies, attention seizing series and original content on offer, so you’re going to need a guide. That or the ability to clone yourself a few times over—there’s way too many watchables for one person to sift through.
Join me now as I break down this catalogue refresh of Australia's six major streaming networks. Much like the spring-based gardening I’m doing outside, I’ve eyeballed each of these content gardens and have mercilessly ripped out the weeds. Waiting below is a must-smell bed of roses.
