After scrolling through the menu for half an hour, I ended up watching a random Aussie movie on Netflix called Goldstone. It was actually a sequel, and we loved it so much we went back and watched the first movie (Miracle Road), and now are making our way through the 2018 miniseries featuring the same character. It's a crime drama with the lead character playing an indigenous Australia cop, and it has a pretty heavy Western vibe throughout. The middle of Australia is so damn eerie and remote that it's the perfect setting for stories like these, and the cast knock it out of the park.
It's criminal that these movies and miniseries were shot right here and I had no idea they even existed until they went up on Netflix.
