So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Apparently it is a sequel to Occupation, and regardless of how these things actually rated with reviewers, I feel like I’ve missed something by being unaware they even came out.

And this is almost certainly because I’ve made a concerted (and broadly successful) effort for over a decade to avoid ads.

How does everyone here find TV, Movies, Music etc that may be of interest to you?

Just turn on the idiot box and put up with the spew?

    RSS is the answer to your question

    RSS follow subreddits like Republic Of Music, nitter accounts, tumblrs, etc.

    I find av club from the onion pretty good. It’s a bit fangirly on many shows, but it’s clear from the articles which are serious tv shows. I pay notice to anything hbo release. I like sci fi and sci-fi communities tend to discuss sci fi shows. I also watch out for particular actors and actresses that I find good.

    Posts like this help, ut usually more organic discussions are where you’ll find new stuff that’s good.

    For music, tv, and movies I will look at who the director/producer/actor etc is and look up what other works they were in.

    Watch a movie with same actor to find that I liked the performance of a co-star, then begin the rabbit hole again.

    Mostly it’s through recommendations from friends, or when I frequently see people talking about a particular show in a community. For example, I discovered Hacks thanks to people in the Frasier subreddit frequently talking about how amazing Jean Smart (who was in several episodes of Frasier) is in it (she really is.)

      Legion is what first made me notice Jean Smart. With legion, watchmen, hacks, Fargo she’s had a huge last few years
