1) Snow – SBS On Demand (1 April)
Series. No, it’s not the much anticipated Jon Snow/ Game of Thrones spin-off, which is still in development, but don’t let that put you off.
This six-part Australian-German mystery thriller series is set in the age of the climate crisis (so … now?) with a terrifying scenario at its core: what if nature finally demands the respect it is owed?
At the heart of the show, says SBS, is a ‘young family moving to the ominously-named village of Rotten, high in the Austrian alps – serious and successful doctor-slash-mum Lucia (Brigitte Hobmeier), joker dad Matthi (Robert Stadlober), son Jonas (Paolo Di Sapia), and severely asthmatic daughter Alma (a superbly unsettling Laeni Geiseler).
‘When Alma and Lucia uncover a body, strange occurrences start surfacing, and it seems to always have something to do with the much-mythologised mountain that overshadows picturesque Rotten.’
To save her daughter, a mother must leave her rational world views behind. Sounds like a fair trade!
