What to watch on TV and streaming this week: Mix Tape, Fubar, The Survivors
We've sifted through the latest offerings from TV and streaming platforms to find the best shows you should be watching this week. MIX TAPE Thursday, Binge This is certainly proving to be a big year for Teresa Palmer. Hot on the heels of Last Anniversary and ahead of her performance in the ABC drama The Family Next Door, Palmer stars as the acclaimed novelist Alison Connor in this four-part miniseries. Raised in Sheffield, England, Alison has made a shinier life for herself in Sydney as the devoted wife of a successful doctor (Ben Lawson) and mother of two girls. When her first love, Daniel (Jim Sturgess) unexpectedly reaches out online, it reignites the spark that was extinguished decades earlier when Alison left Sheffield without warning. Told across two timelines, the current day where Alison and Daniel are reconnecting through sharing music and memories online, and the 1980s where their younger selves (played by Florence Hunt and Rory Walton-Smith, pictured) are falling in love by exchanged audiocassette of their favourite songs, this is a heartwarming romance that is punctuated by a killer soundtrack. FUBAR Thursday, Netflix Having successfully rescued his daughter Emma (Monica Barbaro) and reunited with his ex-wife Tally (Fabiana Udenio), CIA agent Luke (Arnold Schwarzenegger) finally has everyone he loves – and a few extras – under one roof. With their covers blown the team (along with Tally's deflated former fiance) are all residing together in the one safe house as Luke and his daughter again join forces to face a new enemy. This season The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss joins the fun as a German operative who has a history with Luke. Not ideal given the aged spy's wife is back in the picture and now across what he really does for a living. It's a fun update on True Lies that allows Arnie to do what he does best: save the day while delivering charmingly cheesy lines with complete seriousness. THE SURVIVORS Friday, Netflix About to hit the big time as Benedict's mysterious love interest in the fourth instalment of Bridgerton, Yerin Ha stars here in a rather less flashy role as Mia. A new mother who was something of a wallflower at school, Mia returns home on the arm of the town's former golden boy, Kieran (Charlie Vickers) for the first time since a devastating storm claimed the lives of three people. The couple's return coincides with another shocking death, reopening old wounds for the entire community. A slow-burn thriller that will keep you guessing with its plot twists, Ha and Vickers shine alongside a stellar ensemble of local talent. Robyn Malcolm who plays Mia's embittered and passive aggressive mother-in-law and Catherine McClements as the devastated mother of a missing teenager are particularly brilliant. ECHO VALLEY Friday, Apple TV+ AS the old saying goes, a mother's love knows no bounds. And that's certainly the case for Kate (Julianne Moore) who continues to open up her heart, her wallet and her home to her drug-addicted daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) even though it always ends badly. Despite this destructive vicious cycle, Kate wants to believe her daughter is getting better. And so, even when Claire turns up on the doorstep covered in someone else's blood, the devoted Kate is ready to do whatever it takes to come to the rescue (again). With terrific performances from Moore and Sweeney as well as Fiona Shaw and Domhnall Gleeson, this is a tautly scripted, psychological thriller. ROMCON: WHO THE F**K IS JASON PORTER? Friday, Prime Video IF you thought Dirty John – the violent conman portrayed by Eric Bana in the 2018 Netflix drama – was the scariest guy to ever hit the modern dating scene, wait until you cop a load of Jason Porter. Jason (aka 'Jace' the hunky tradie) used online dating apps to woo lonely and insecure women and rip them off. This two-part true crime docuseries details how Heather Rovet (pictured) discovered Porter wasn't the man of her dreams and exposed his web of lies and manipulations. Featuring dramatic recreations and interviews with his victims, this miniseries exposes the dark side of online dating. TRAVELS WITH AGATHA AND SIR DAVID SUCHET 7.30pm, Saturday, SBS 'I really feel like I am back in time with her now,' an almost reverential David Suchet exclaims as he retraces Agatha Christie's steps more than 100 years after the famed author set off on her globetrotting adventures to Egypt, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Hawaii. First stop for Suchet is Torquay, Christie's hometown and where fans gather annually to honour her life and work. While there, he talks to a local expert about Christie's 1926 disappearing act when the writer (mourning the death of her mother and her impending divorce) went AWOL for 11 days. After playing Hercule Poirot for 25 years, Suchet feels a special connection with Christie and is eager to discover more about the woman behind the books. CALL THE MIDWIFE 7.30pm, Saturday, ABC It's time to bid a warm farewell to the midwives for another season just as Miss Higgins (Georgie Glen) finally gets to say hello to the son she gave up for adoption and Trixie (Helen George) hits rock bottom. Sadly, the meeting between mother and son may have come too late as one of them faces a health crisis. Meanwhile, Shelagh (Laura Main) is also facing a trying family reunion when her adopted daughter's biological mother suddenly expresses an interest in making contact. Despite her angst, Shelagh puts a brave face on the situation for the sake of the child. It's the sort of tear jerking stuff that has kept viewers tuning in year after year. LITTLE DISASTERS 9PM, Sunday, ABC Apart from Martine McCutcheon's performance in Love Actually it's rare to see an Eastenders regular sharing the screen with a Bonafide Hollywood A Lister. And yet here we have Jo Joyner trading drinks at the Old Vic with Phil Mitchell and co for sneaky Pinot Grigios with Diane Kruger (pictured) in this six-part drama. Joyner plays a strung-out ER doctor named Liz who is forced to call social services when Jess (Kruger) her glamorous friend from mothers' group, turns up at the hospital with her injured baby. Unable – or perhaps unwilling – to explain how the screaming child hurt herself, Liz suspects her seemingly perfect friend might be keeping a dark secret. A blend of Desperate Housewives and The Cry, this six-part series is a riveting whodunit that examines the societal pressures and judgments that most mothers face. DOC 8.50PM, Tuesday, Seven Ever since her car accident, amnesiac doctor Amy (Molly Parker) has been trying to pick up the pieces of her life (rediscovering her bedside manner along the way). Now, having passed her exams, Amy is finally able to get back in her white coat and treat patients without supervision. Eager to prove she's up to the job, the passionate physician challenges a specialist diagnosis which causes her protégé TJ (Patrick Walker) to second guess Amy's new (more hopeful) approach to medicine. It's enough to make Amy question herself too especially now that a panicked Richard (Scott Wolf) is doing whatever he can to avoid the truth about his malpractice coming out. TOWARDS ZERO Britbox While there's no moustache-twirling Poirot drawing on his 'little grey cells' or doddering Miss Marple asking seemingly innocuous questions, this three-part miniseries has all the other hallmarks of a great Agatha Christie mystery. It opens with a salacious society divorce, the celebrated tennis player Nevile Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) being accused of cheating on his wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland) with a glamorous young sports fan, Kay (Mimi Keene). The tension between the trio forms the backdrop for the mystery that will unfold — and initially baffle Inspector Leach (Matthew Rhys) during a weekend away at the home of a wealthy invalid (Anjelica Huston). IN CASE YOU MISSED IT … MASTERS OF SEX Now streaming, Tubi STARRING two criminally underrated actors – Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan – this series chronicles the early lives and careers of real-life sexologists William Masters and Virgina Johnson. Set in the 1950s and 60s, William (Sheen) is a socially awkward yet renowned fertility expert who enlists the help of his personable and savvy assistant Virginia (Caplan) to recruit participants for his study of sex and sexuality. While working on their covert research, the two opposites attract much to the dismay of William's wife, Libby (Caitlin Fitzgerald). Much like Mad Men, this sophisticated drama explores a period of social, political and cultural change through a unique lens.

Tears as Ten president addresses staff at The Project after axing, 100 jobs impacted
Close to 100 jobs are expected to be impacted and more than 50 shed when Network Ten winds up production on The Project this month. Ten president Beverley McGarvey apologised while addressing the program's shocked staff at their Melbourne offices on Monday, explaining the network was cancelling the show because after 16 years on air 'it just doesn't stack up any longer'. According to insiders as many as 100 jobs overall will be impacted by Ten's decision to drop the show, which is broadcast six nights a week and has production offices in both Melbourne and Sydney. Among these are program hosts and panellists including Sarah Harris, Waleed Aly, Hamish Macdonald and Steve Price. In a four-minute address to staff McGarvey confirmed Ten management had been contemplating cancelling the program 'for years'. She said this was due to younger audiences drifting away from free-to-air television. The audience that remained, McGarvey said, weren't 'as well served by The Project as (audiences) were back in the day'. 'It's really just evolution and we didn't think we'd ever have this problem,' she told stunned – and teary – staff. 'We didn't think we'd be here for 16 years but as you all know those younger demographics in particular who really made the show … thrive in the beginning have just evolved and they're watching different platforms and they're watching different services. 'For those reasons, unfortunately the show just doesn't stack up any longer.' McGarvey explained the reason the network had decided to cancel the program mid year. 'Honestly it's not a decision that we've made lightly,' she continued. 'It's something we've thought about for a really long time. And I mean years. We have worked over the years to try and change things a little bit and evolve things – as you have all done – and unfortunately we're at the point now where it just doesn't make sense.' The program will broadcast its last program on Friday June 27 because, McGarvey said, it was just too hard to change audience viewing habits in November or December. 'The reason to do it in the middle of the year is that it's just very difficult to do anything at the end of the year, in summer. It's harder then and it's harder for audiences to make changing habits.' She said network executives did not expect ratings to 'quadruple' when a replacement 'extended national news' program is launched as an alternative in the 6pm timeslot. 'We're not doing it because we absolutely believe that suddenly the audience is going to quadruple at that time. It's really about servicing the audience in the timeslot that exist in this environment from a fee-to-air point of view,' she said. The Ten president acknowledged the news of the show's cancellation would be 'difficult' and 'tough' for staff to hear. 'I know it's really hard to hear and today's a really tough day but I think more than any other show that the network has ever had that The Project did a lot of great things,' she said, reading the room. 'It did a lot of great things for the media landscape but I think more broadly it did great things for Australian culture and not many shows resonate in the way that The Project did. And that meant, for all of us, it was very high profile, people liked to talk about it. 'It's a click-baity show and you guys had to live through that. But I think more than anything there's a lot to be proud of and we're really proud of the show and we're really sad this day had to come and it's just a reality that it did. 'You guys have done a wonderful job in a very tough environment and I think the show has always had integrity which sets it apart from many other things and that's been amazing. 'Because of all those reasons, the show getting cancelled after 16 years is much more difficult than shows that we normally cancel after three seasons or five seasons or 10 weeks or whatever it is, so we appreciate that this is difficult and you'll need time to think about it.' McGarvey said it had been difficult to give staff 'short' – just under three weeks – notice. 'It's difficult to give you short notice. It's almost more difficult to keep going when you know that you're not going to be going forever so we've landed on that (June 27) date. 'I want to thank you all for all your work, not just recently but over the years and thank all of the team at Roving, all of the various on-screen talent we've had over the years because you all work hard and they really bear the brunt of the good bits but also the hard bits of the show and we appreciate that and really thank them and also hope that you're all proud that you were part of something that properly changed Australian media. I'm very sorry.'

Getting matching tattoos to remember our dad
Last year, my brother Asitha and I got matching tattoos. I couldn't have predicted this barfy bonding moment because we weren't close growing up. I was three years old when Asi was born and my family lived in Oman. I don't remember being bezzies but there are many photographs of us standing united, us against the world. We were opposites — I was loud, brash, angry and unsettled. Asi was quiet, gentle, polite and a homebody. He was Mum's favourite and I was Dad's. All parents claim they can't choose a favourite child and all children know that they're lying. We aligned ourselves with the parent we mirrored, they didn't like hanging out and soon we didn't either. By the time we moved to Perth, my 12-year-old self only spoke to him to fight over who torched through the family's monthly internet usage. Our romantic partners formed bridges between us. When I brought home my first boyfriend at 19, the silent shadow prone to grunting came alive. I experienced his lightning-quick wit, which as a comedian this kills me to say, is much funnier than mine. When I met Asi's girlfriend Ruth, I thought, "She's awesome and thinks he's awesome? She must have terrible taste." She didn't. Sometimes it takes another to value what we take for granted. They have the kind of love that creates a force field of safety around everyone within it. While I bounced around the world after my relationship ended, their home in Perth was a haven on my visits back. When I moved to Melbourne to do my Master's degree at 30, I learnt that maintaining our relationship required effort to combat the physical and time distance. More bridges between Asi and I formed when my nephew was born and Charlie and I started dating. We started weekly phone calls and spent time together in Perth. Then WA shut its borders in 2020 because of the pandemic. Asi video called every Saturday to make sure my nephew knew us. He said "vacuum" a lot. It was insightful, because Charlie and I were living in a vacuum in Victoria, but also just because he was obsessed with vacuums at the time. When we finally got into Perth in May 2022, I was overjoyed to hug my family after two long years. Then we returned in August, much sooner than expected, when Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. A cancer diagnosis is always a nightmare but ours was a special brand because our parents were recently divorced. Asi and I scrambled to navigate the unfamiliar territory of two broken-hearted parents and a terminally ill father. The doctors said he had two years but he was gone before Christmas. It is a surreal feeling to watch a loved one leave the world in stages. You simultaneously will it to hasten and to slow. It was bearable because I shared it with another, who knew exactly what it felt like, to lose pieces of our father. Charlie and I spent weeks, then months, at Asi and Ruth's home. It was the most time we'd spent together since childhood. We discovered that we don't like chats about feelings. That we pace around in circles when distressed. That even through the despair that came with illness, death, and the funeral — we could make each other laugh. In our third decade of life, as in our first, we united. Two years later, they stayed with us in Melbourne. Ruth wanted to get another tattoo so Asi and I decided to get one too. I wanted a tattoo of a crab because my funniest memory of Dad is from a family dinner at a beachside restaurant in Colombo. After many whiskies, he bolted from the table to run after crabs on the dimly lit shore, gleefully whooping as each one scuttled to safety. Asi shared the memory and now we share the tattoo. There was little chat or fuss about this momentous occasion. While Ruth mulled over tattoo designs and placements for hers, Asi and my deliberations went like this: "I'm going to get a crab on my ankle for Dad." "Great, I'll get that too." "They can fit us all in on Boxing Day." "Great, let's sort dinner." Then Charlie and Ruth muttered about Pereras while we figured out what takeaway to order. With equal levels of nonchalance, the day after Christmas, we got the identical designs tattooed on our ankles at a studio in Carlton. Asi and I still speak every Saturday. And most days in between. Sashi Perera is a comedian, writer and former lawyer based in Naarm/Melbourne. Find her on Instagram and Substack.
