Órbita 9 (2017)
Truman Show in space
The Netflix trailer gives some early spoilers but not all the twists. This film rewards smart viewers who pick up hints early and wait for the results. The acting leaves you feeling mixed levels of emotion and not sure if you wanted more or less. Buts it's the kind of psychological impact sci-fi that has been missing from blockbuster American films looking at isolation, human rights in experiments, and space exploration.
If you grew up on a space voyage all by yourself, what kind of human would you be? And what kind of person is the one who put you there?
Street Smart (2018)
Finally something different
It's a breath of fresh air compared to other Aussie shows, and in a sit com format. The characters play up on some stereotypes which reminds you of people in real life, and there's recurring jokes about how ridiculous parking officers are. At first I got annoyed with how dumb the gang is, but that's the whole point, "understaaaand?"
