Cleverman now Streaming on Netflix

SundanceTV and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC TV) renewed the Aussie drama series “Cleverman” – which just launched in the USA on SundanceTV in June – for a second season, after a successful, critical and commercially-acclaimed season 1.

I was just informed today that the first season, which ended in July, is now available to stream in the USA on Netflix!

Set in the near future, “Cleverman” is a startlingly original drama rooted in Aboriginal mythology. The series depicts a deeply conflicted and anxious society, fearful of a minority group living among them, endowed with extraordinary physical traits. One young man — The Cleverman — struggles with his own power and the responsibility to unite this divided world, but he must first overcome a deep estrangement from his older brother.

The six-part series, which reflects on issues of racism, asylum seekers and border protection, is based on an original concept by Ryan Griffen.
