Series Premiere
This quirky New Zealand mystery follows DI Mike Shepard, who arrives to the seemingly peaceful town of
Brokenwood with classic car, a country music collection and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. His assistant, DC

Brokenwood is full of secrets and suspicions.
The Clinic, Season 7
Long-running medical drama set-in modern-day Dublin, The Clinic follows a group of dedicated medical professionals
working in a busy city health clinic. This fast-paced and contemporary drama explores the journey of each member
of the clinic ‘family’ – their joys and sorrows as they confront the frailty of human life, their hidden longings, personal
ambitions, and tender moments. The patients, much like the area in which they live, are a mixed bag. All of their
staff has attained a considerable degree of success in their careers due to their total dedication — but at what cost
to their personal lives? Starring Aidan Turner (Poldark) and Amy Huberman (Harry Wild).

Injustice
Though he looks like a perfectly happy and successful man, defense barrister William Travers (James Purefoy, Hap

the legal system. Despite this, he returns to the courtroom when an old friend, Martin Newall (Nathaniel Parker, The
Beast Must Die), finds himself facing murder and conspiracy charges while being investigated by spiteful detective
DS Mark Wenborn (Charlie Creed-Miles, The Fifth Element). This psychological thriller examines morality and the
question of what a defense barrister is to do after finding out that his client is guilty.
