It's the latest buzzy season of one of the buzziest shows Netflix has going around. It's causing all sorts of dilemmas inside and outside the House of Windsor, and audiences are torn. Is this really how horrible Prince Charles was? Was Her Majesty really that cold and distant? Should Princess Anne have cared about the media so much? Join Jo, Dan, Brooky and Molk as we give you some great tips, hints on shows to watch and those to give a wide berth to as we land squarely in the TV Bingebox! In th...

"You have a lot of help. You listen to everybody and then you call the play." -- President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet. Originally airing as season three, episode fourteen of THE WEST WING, the theatrical re-telling of "Hartsfield's Landing" was delivered to the American people as a fundraiser on HBO Max to support the non-partisan charity When We All Vote. Your Bingeboxers have gathered, walked-and-talked, and processed this special and, in light of the outcome of the 2020 US Election, have some thing...

Where does one begin when most of the dialogue is shouted and the language is, at best, "fruity"? The latest offering from Paul 'Pauly' Fenech and his cast of housing commission mates is absolutely consisted with the rest of his universe: Housos, Fat Pizza, et al. So is his latest offering a comedic reflection of a segment of Australia that is often overlooked - weed, booze, sex-obsessed and foul-mouthed, or is it exploitative, base mockery? Join Jo, Dan, Brooky and Molk as we give you some grea...

Knock knock. Who's there? Nicole Kidman. That's a harsh criticism of her acting, dude. When HBO and Foxtel roll out the red carpet for their big new hit(tm), you know there's gonna be some star power involved. It's no different with this bold new six-parter starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland, and adapted by one of the best in the biz David E Kelley. But really... just between you and us... is it good enough? Join Jo, Dan, Brooky, and Molk as we give you some great tips, hi...

Celebrity torture porn or well-crafted reality series? That's the question when we look at Seven's new offering and one they hope will help them limp home as the number one network in 2020. The range of 'celebrity' only adds to the nature of the question... so where did your Bingeboxers fall on SAS AUSTRALIA? Also, as is now tradition, every tenth episode is punctuated with a very competitive quiz hosted by Brooky - who's trivia knowledge sees them rise to the top?! Join Jo, Dan, Brooky, and Mol...

Broken relationships, lies, Nazis - every family has something hidden. We dive deep into the first episode of season two of the SBS series EVERY FAMILY HAS A SECRET, hosted by the evergreen Noni Hazlehurst. As you'd expect our opinions varied on the success of the family history series, though it's not as simple as you might think.

So much could have gone wrong and somehow didn't. With a global pandemic on our hands and seeing the Logies get cancelled we thought we'd never get to enjoy an awards show again. How wrong we were! The 72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards managed to do the impossible and pull off a massive outside broadcast with celebrities all over the world, and host Jimmy Kimmel live from the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. INSANE! There's lots for your Bingeboxers to talk about this week - not just the technical...

Remember the time the entire nation held its collective breath for 49 seconds? The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games welcomed the world into the new millennium and we all enjoyed 15 days of world-class athleticism. Many medals were won by Aussies at these game, yet none more significant than the Women's 400m battle that saw Cathy Freeman triumph... so why not celebrate it with a documentary about her journey and what that medal meant to a nation still struggling with its indigenous identity? Join Jo, Da...

Nothing like a good Aussie drama to set cat amongst the Bingeboxers. Rebecca Gibney reprises her role as Jane Halifax FP in a continuation of the nostalgic series that helped Nine through the late 90's(!) and pops back up again 20 years later.

Nobody likes a lagger. Australia's favourite prison drama is back and HOO BABY is it good. There are a bunch of surprises however as we stretch beyond this into our claps and slaps and Jo's rewind is sublime. Also we're missing Brooky because he's far too important or something - there is no truth to the rumour Molk had him knocked off for making the quiz too hard last week).
