Sunshine (2017)

Sunshine is a high-stakes crime drama that explores the hopes and heartbreak felt by those forging a new life in a foreign land. Set in Melbourne's outer-west suburb of Sunshine, the story follows Jacob Garang played by new on-screen talent Wally Elnour.

Police are hunting down the perpetrator of a violent assault, which has left a young teenage girl in a coma fighting for her life, and a group of young men fighting for their innocence.

Andrew Denton show to last for a few months before being cancelled. I don't trust commercial networks with smart people. They don't get them.

...ha!... what a true statement that is reepbot!... anyone that is geeky or super intelligent that gets tempted to go to Channels 7 or 9 for instance even for a one-off appearance on shows are always awkwardly handled on the shows... Tim Ferguson/Paul McDermott/Tony Martin/Andrew Denton and Jean Kittson just as examples... it seems as though the hosts of the shows feel overwhelmed and slightly threatened by their mere prescence lol!... but yes... I so agree with that statement reepbot... cheers.

...I never watch a series that I have not seen from episode one and hate jumping into a series after having missed the first few episodes but... I have Foxtel and they have a 'Boxsets' Channel that continually plays an entire series from the first episode to the last one in a marathon showing back to back... 'Outlander' and also now... 'Vikings' are on my 'to watch' list when it's their turns to be shown... I tried watching 'Outlander' by jumping in halfway through the 2nd series and I was totally lost... I think that shows like these deserve to be given the full viewing treatment that they deserve... I watched every single episode of 'Black Flag' which was epic in it's viewing... I think that from what kxk and some others that have commented on these shows are great recommendations on shows that should not be missed... I will catch up eventually lol!... come on Foxtel... put them on NOW!... waiting waiting waiting... lol!... cheers.
