Half Man – 25 April (Stan)
Series. Ruben and Niall are brothers. Not related in blood but the closest you can get. One, fierce and loyal. The other, meek and mild-mannered. Inseparable youth. Brought into each other’s lives through death and circumstance, all they have is each other. But when Ruben turns up at Niall’s wedding three decades later, everything seems different. He is on edge. Shifty. Not acting like himself.
Soon, an explosion of violence takes place which catapults us back through their lives, from the 80s to the present day. Capturing 30 years in the lives of these broken men, Half Man explores brotherhood, violence, and the intense fragility of male relationships. After all, when things fall apart, it is sometimes the closest relationships that break the hardest.

Bad Company – 26 April (ABC iview)
Series. This brand-new six-part comedy series is a riotous clash of egos, ambition and backstage drama. Starring two of Australia’s powerhouse comedians, Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan, and created and written by Edmonds, Bad Company brings together a dream comedy pairing in a story about two fierce rivals who test each other to the limits.
At the centre of the chaos is Margie Argyle (Anne Edmonds), the Argyle Theatre’s wildly confident artistic director who is determined to stage her most experimental, critic-wowing masterpiece yet.
There’s just one small problem: Margie’s bold creative vision might also send the already fragile theatre hurtling towards financial ruin.
Standing between Margie and catastrophe is Julia McNamara (Kitty Flanagan), a corporate high-flyer with a flawless track record and the steely resolve to match.
