There’s no shortage of high-quality Australian drama right now, but you’ll need multiple subscriptions to view the shows.

Actor Asher Keddie and producer Imogen Banks had been looking for a project to collaborate on since their days working together on

Banks says that her star and producing partner has “an agile story brain and a very good ability to dig into the core truth of things”. In front of a camera, she adds admiringly, Keddie “can give you worlds”. That skill is evident throughout the absorbing and darkly evocative series, with Birdie portrayed as a raw bundle of nerves ricocheting between elation and trepidation as she nervously decides to take a risk on love.

If you want to see two of the country’s most talented actors in top form in an absorbing drama ... you’ll need a subscription to Paramount+. Beyond the free-TV spectrum, Edwards says, “Foxtel makes drama because they have to”, adding, “I’ve had 16 successful shows, thank goodness, and of those, nine of them only happened because of quota.”

The streaming services have not been required to produce a specified amount of local content and have argued vigorously against the imposition of a quota. They maintain they will invest in the local industry without it being officially legislated.
