This is the only reason i would resubscribe to Binge this month.
It has been renewed by Max.
Lockerbie: A Search for Truth premieres on Binge next Thursday (January 2).
Another great show this year. Included a long segment on Under Investigation. Obviously a lot about workplace culture as well throughout. Even had a couple of positive drama reviews.
A lengthy look at a particularly dubious episode of Nine’s Under Investigation (a true-crime series so shoddy even the police have asked them to stop) is both a scathing look at the show’s near-total lack of consideration for pretty much every social and moral standard, and a resigned acknowledgement that, as far as Australian television is concerned, nothing matters because nobody cares.
