The Real Housewives of Sydney – Season 3 (25 Feb)
Series. After last season’s explosive finale, The Real Housewives of Sydney are back – navigating luxury getaways, social events, and plenty of personal drama. As tensions run high, unexpected alliances form, and the bonds of sisterhood shine through the chaos. Meanwhile, a new member of the friendship group begins to stir the pot. Watch the trailer.
From ScreenHub’s review of Season 2:
‘And we’re back. It’s been six years since the first season of The Real Housewives of Sydney failed to capture the imagination – or the ratings – of Australia, and probably the first big surprise of Season 2 is that, despite the first season fizzling out, two of the original housewives have returned.
‘Good news if you were a fan of Krissy (husband just back from China, three kids, speaks her mind) and Nicole (former Miss World contestant, now empty-nester), who seamlessly pivot to a whole new group of friends. Everyone else from the first season? Guess they’re off being real in the real world.
‘Of course, the whole point of the insanely popular Real Housewives franchise wherever it’s set around the globe is to focus on a group of women whose lives are about as far from most people’s understanding of ‘real’ as it gets. Expect plenty of expensive footwear, flashy outfits, and aerial shots of Sydney Harbour’s fanciest locations; while nobody’s openly talking about what their houses are worth, someone does mention their harbourside neighbour is selling up for $38 million.’ Read more …

The White Lotus – Season 3 (17 Feb)
Series. Mike White’s Emmy-winning series returns with a whole new host of characters, secrets and hijinks – this time set within an exclusive Thai resort over the course of a week. Season three’s ensemble cast includes Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, Parker Posey and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Watch the trailer.
From ScreenHub’s review of Season 3:
‘Parker Posey can always be relied upon to ramp up the camp with off-the-wall line readings. But even this consummate pro plays it a little too broad here, making a meal of her southern drawl-emitting, pill-popping matriarch Victoria.
‘Jason Isaac, as her many-furtive-phone-calls businessman husband (ten aplenty in this show), pales in comparison. And while the dynamic between their kids, Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger), little bro Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and more sensible sis Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) would keep Freud in good suits, they don’t feel overly fresh on this show’s Cluedo board.’ Read more …
