Hudson & Rex - season 7

In the seventh season, Detective Charlie Hudson and his remarkable German Shepherd partner, Rex, have more faith than ever in their team and one another as they confront unprecedented obstacles.

Their bond is stretched across a continent as Charlie bravely searches for his missing brother in Central America, trusting Rex to unite the team as they continue to serve and protect St. John’s. From a killer beekeeper to an untraceable theft ring, only Rex’s razor-sharp instincts combined with the SJPD’s brilliant insights can solve a groundbreaking set of cases.

Influenced by Charlie’s exceptional investigative abilities, Sarah, Donovan, and Jesse bring together their own unique areas of expertise to ensure the Major Crimes division stays in peak form as they face unpredictable threats. Rex deepens his bond with the entire team, using his superpowered senses to make breakthroughs in one-of-a-kind crimes. Sarah steps into the field as an investigator, wielding her mastery of criminal psychology as she confronts cases head-on. Donovan’s cool-headed leadership and steely resolve helps steer the team to success. Jesse lightens the load with his signature sense of humour and his lightning-fast logical analyses.

As a family and a force for good, no criminal can elude them for long.

Reindeer Mafia - season 1

Reindeer Mafia is a darkly comedic Nordic crime saga, which tells the story of a power struggle between the members of a family that controls the local businesses and vast areas of wilderness. The story takes place in an alternate reality, and the small village community at its centre acts as a mirror to the modern global business world.

Brita Nelihanka, the great arctic matriarch, is about to lose her fight against cancer. Her wealth is to be divided evenly between the members of her family, and the ill-gotten lands are to be returned to their original owners. The family is torn apart when her will is revealed at the funeral. Brita’s oldest son Sameli has returned from prison after serving a sentence for manslaughter. Brita’s widow Rouku Nelihanka finds out that Pieti, one of his sons, is not actually his biological offspring. Rouku feels inconsolably offended. For decades, he has been seen as the leading figure in the reindeer business. Now, all his land is at stake, and Rouku will not let go of it without a fight.

Reindeer Mafia season 1 premieres Thursday 18 September on SBS On Demand.

Will Max and Mauro stay friends when they suddenly become nation-wide famous?

Accidentally Famous season 1 premieres Thursday 18 September on SBS On Demand.

The People vs Robodebt

In the long hot summer of 2016, the federal government's new Online Compliance Intervention scheme roared like a bushfire through Australian society. This automated welfare system soon became known as "Robodebt".

Over the next three years, almost half a million Australians were hounded to pay back debts they did not owe. The system was later found to be inaccurate, unethical and illegal. Some people lost their savings, their homes, their marriages and a few lost their lives.

How did such a “crude and cruel” error-riddled scheme ever get off the ground, let alone run for years?

All 3 episodes of The People vs Robodebt will premiere on Wednesday 24 September on SBS On Demand. Episodes air weekly on SBS starting Wednesday 24 September at 7.30pm AEST.

The Patient - season 1
