Safe Harbour

The four-part drama stars Ewen Leslie (The Cry) as one of six friends sailing on a luxurious holiday from Brisbane to Indonesia on a private yacht.

The holiday is soon cut short when the group discover a broken-down ship with asylum seekers on board.

At first the friends come to provide aid to the refugees but this event leads to a series of unforeseen consequences that will change their lives forever.

 

Trapped

The acclaimed Icelandic crime drama Trapped returns for a second series.

Former Chief of Police Andri Ólafsson (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) is assigned to a new case in Reykjavik when the Minster for Industry is attacked by a man on fire, killing them both.

After uncovering the attacker was the minister’s twin, Andri must set off to the North to trace the family’s roots, leading the detective to a place he hoped to leave in the past.

Now under the authority of Chief of Police Hinrika (Ilmur Kristjánsdóttir), Ólafsson’s former colleague, Andri finds the town is in a state of anger with widespread protests at the proposal of a new aluminium plant.

When a power plant’s foreman is found dead, Andri’s investigation grows as she tries to determine if the two attacks are connected.
