Bosch - season 4
Detective Harry Bosch is back.
Three months after discovering a startling new lead, Bosch has not stopped pursuing the truth behind his mother’s cold case. Alongside this, the murder of a high-profile attorney has the city on edge, and Chief Irvin Irving creates a Task Force with Bosch as the lead detective. In the gripping fourth season of this addictive crime drama, Bosch comes face-to-face with not one, but two former adversaries who could either hurt or help his investigations.
Bosch season 4 premieres Wednesday 1 April at SBS On Demand.
The Orville - seasons 1-3
From Emmy Award-winning executive producer and creator Seth MacFarlane, The Orville is a live-action, one-hour space adventure series set 400 years in the future that follows The U.S.S. Orville, a mid-level exploratory spaceship. Its crew, both human and alien, face the wonders and dangers of outer space, while also dealing with the problems of everyday life.
The Orville seasons 1-3 premiere Wednesday 1 April at SBS On Demand.
Riot Women
Riot Women is about a group of women who form a punk rock band – just for fun, just to enter a local talent contest, just to raise money for the refugees – but who discover in the course of rehearsing an ABBA song (badly) that they have a voice of their own. And that voice is angry. They’re women who’ve recently discovered the ‘joys’ (not) of being middle-aged, menopausal and more or less invisible. And they want to shout about it.
Beth can play the piano. Jess found her ex-husband’s drum kit going mouldy in the garage and took out a subscription to some online drumming classes because she’s always fancied having a crack at it. Holly hasn’t a clue, just a can-do attitude and a bass guitar borrowed from a lad she arrested for nicking cars. Yvonne had guitar lessons at school, and she’s always keen to keep her diary full, so she’ll have to see if she can fit the Riot Women in. Nisha and Kam aren’t menopausal, not yet; they’ve just come on board as backing singers, claiming that their greatest asset to the band is that they’re both tone deaf. And Kitty can sing karaoke like a West End diva, sober or otherwise.
The series celebrates women of a certain age who deal with life’s slings and arrows, and who find a way to get through by writing and performing songs that leave nobody in any doubt about how they feel.
Riot Women premieres Thursday 2 April at SBS and SBS On Demand. Episodes air weekly on SBS starting Thursday 2 April at 9.30pm.
Interns - season 3
It's summer at the Poincaré Hospital.
Following post-COVID directives, many services have been closed, and those that remain operational face overwhelming demand. A strike by Home Visiting services makes things worse, leaving an entire population without access to medical care.
With patients continuing to be admitted, tensions are palpable.
Chloé, Arben, Alyson, and Hugo soon realise that instructions to limit care to a small number of patients are untenable, so they decide to defy directives to help their patients.
Interns season 3 premieres Sunday 5 April at SBS On Demand.
Mozart/Mozart
Maria Anna Mozart has spent years living in the shadow of her superstar brother, Amadeus. When he loses his position, Maria Anna faces a forced marriage. The siblings flee to Vienna to secure a life-saving position for Amadeus at the imperial court. But when Amadeus collapses just before the decisive concert, Maria Anna must take the stage herself, in disguise as her famous brother “Mozart.”
Mozart/Mozart premieres Thursday 9 April at SBS On Demand.
The Audacity
Set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, The Audacity takes on the warped dreams, outsized egos, and ethical lapses of the self-styled inventors of the future. In a world of jaded billionaires, psychiatrist-gurus, bio-hacked tech bros, AI labs and disillusioned teens being optimised in elite private schools, an audacious data-mining CEO (Billy Magnussen) strives to turn insight and influence into profit and power. Through biting satire and wit, The Audacity confronts reality, privacy and the delusions fuelling our ever-changing world.
The Audacity premieres Wednesday 15 April at SBS and SBS On Demand. Episodes air weekly on SBS starting Wednesday 15 April at 9.30pm.
Dark Winds - season 4
Dark Winds follows Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police, solving mysteries and serving justice as their reservation is besieged by a series of increasingly violent crimes in the 1970s. Every mystery uncovers old wounds that run deep, not only in their own lives, but in the collective past of the community they serve. Each step closer to the truth forces the two men to confront their own personal demons, family trauma, and evil forces that threaten the uneasy balance of reservation life.
In season four, the search for a missing Navajo girl takes Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito from the safety of Navajo Nation to the gritty terrain of 1970s Los Angeles in a race against the clock to save her from an obsessive killer with ties to organised crime.
Dark Winds season 4 premieres Thursday 16 April at SBS On Demand.
Dark Winds seasons 1-3 are now streaming at SBS On Demand.
Screw - season 2
After the tragic events of series one, our team of prison officers are determined to make a fresh start. But as the inmates of C Wing know only too well, moving on isn’t always easy. With changes at the very top and fresh faces on the wing, Leigh’s new bond with Rose and the secrets they share, will be tested to the limit. Rumours of an undercover policeman on the wing not only threaten order at Long Marsh, but could blow open a criminal plot involving at least one of our officers.
Screw season 2 premieres Thursday 23 April at SBS On Demand.
Screw season 1 is now streaming at SBS On Demand.
Empathy
Feeling empathy for individuals who have committed dangerous acts against themselves or others due to mental illness, and believing in their rehabilitation, is a humane, necessary, and highly controversial approach. In this dramedy, Suzanne (Florence Longpré), a gifted former criminologist and now a psychiatrist, confronts us with our own relationship to empathy.
Having had a difficult life herself, her unorthodox methods will shake things up at the Mont-Royal Psychiatric Institute, where she ends up after being strongly advised to leave the police force. At the institute, Suzanne meets Mortimer (Thomas N’Gijol), an intriguing intervention officer with whom she forms a close friendship. Mortimer, for his part, grew up in France in a very violent environment. His mother, who emigrated to Quebec with him, suffers from dementia and demands almost all of his attention. Behind the exterior of a tough guy with questionable taste in music lies a tender man who loves unconditionally and tends to lose himself in the process. The encounter between these two protagonists will be captivating, transformative, and complex.
Throughout the episodes, we follow Suzanne, Mortimer, and the medical staff as they support patients through their treatment. Each patient presents with different illnesses and unique situations. Through flashbacks, we gain insight into their lives and the impact of their disease. These patients, with their tumultuous lives, are sure to move and challenge us.
Empathy premieres Thursday 30 April at SBS On Demand.
