You won’t find anyone more up for the ride than this herd of self-proclaimed “modern-day gladiators”. This docuseries follows a faction of professional bull riders, and their families, as they get propelled around the ring.

Deadloch

Prime Video, streaming now

It’s being touted as a “feminist Noir comedy”, but it could be summarised as “Kath and Kim become cops with deadly results”. Although that’s doing it a great disservice. Set in Tasmania in the depths of winter, things take a grim turn when a local man turns up dead. With undertones of Graham Norton’s Holding, a big-city cop is drafted in to helm the case.
