This week on the TV Gold podcast, Andrew Mercado and James Manning review two very different crime dramas and a documentary screening on SBS On Demand.

Black Rabbit (Netflix, 8 episodes)

Jude Law and Jason Bateman play brothers Jake and Vince Friedken. Vince returns to the New York restaurant they launched together, but his presence triggers an endless succession of bad decisions that plunge the brothers and the business into trouble. The brothers’ family, friends and employees are also caught in the whirlpool.

Death Valley (BritBox, 7 episodes)

A Welsh cosy crime mystery series that follows the unlikely crime-solving partnership between an eccentric national treasure John Chapel (Timothy Spall), a retired actor and star of hit fictional detective television show Caesar, and socially obtuse Detective Sergeant Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth).

The People Vs Robodebt (SBS, 3 episodes)

The series from Michael Cordell and CJZ follows the extraordinarily brave people who fought against the system after almost half a million Australians were hounded to pay back debts they did not owe. The documentary hears from Robodebt victims and their angry families, the crusading social media activists, the whistleblowers and investigative journalists, the tenacious lawyers, as well as the forgotten victims of Robodebt: the Centrelink workers who battled the system from within – their complaints falling on deaf ears.
