Aussie Streaming Guide: The Best TV & Movies for June 2023

Cast aside your boring EOFY bookkeeping and do a bunch of binge-watching instead. I’ve run the numbers and calculated the best TV series and movies to watch right here in Australia. Why will you need a list instead of channel surfing aimlessly? Firstly, there’s no accounting for taste, and secondly, random stream hopping across the six major networks available is sub-optimal viewing.

So, let’s get to maximising your hard-fought free time with the best award-winning films, social calendar-destroying TV series, and original content available. Below are the litter picks from thousands of hours of content from Australia’s six major streaming networks. Click your provider from the list, pick a thing, unplug the doorbell, and get some stream therapy for an hour. Or twelve.
