A fun new British thriller, a Netflix documentary, and a compelling true crime podcast.

Hello!

The new British thriller series, The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies wins the award for the most original show title of 2023.

The series follows two very different women who are tied together by the conman they have in common.

Alice (Rebekah Staton) is on her way to work one morning when she sees Rob, her husband who vanished with her family’s life savings years earlier, casually walking down the street.

She follows him to the gates of Oxford University and soon learns that he is living under a new identity as a renown climate scientist.

Fantasy author Cheryl (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) is grieving the death of her husband, when she meets Rob at an event. Despite her success and legions of fans, Cheryl soon finds herself caught in Rob’s complicated web of lies.

If you liked Wilderness and Dirty John, you’ll love this thriller that sees the two women team up to take the conman down. The first couple of episodes are streaming on Binge in Australia now.
