Old Croc 9,547 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 "Les Norton". Crime (comedy). Set in Sydney's Kings X in the 80's. Some realistic characters depicted. Watch for the young Thai sex slaves featured in the first episode. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9548022/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately there are only about ten available as ebooks (free ones that is!) I started in with Mud Crab Boogie. As I digress another very funny Aussie author is Colin Cotterill. His Dr Siri and Jimm Juree books are spot on. Link to post Share on other sites

His Dr Siri and Jimm Juree books are spot on. Probably better to read the Les Norton (Robert G Barret) books in order. P.S, the stand alone books are good as well.

Related to Mr Inbetween? (2nd series coming) Yes, Mr Inbetween had a bit of a Les Norton feel to it, wouldn't surprise if the writers we're Robert G Barrett fans. Link to post Share on other sites
phuketrichard 4,063 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 "Our Boys", just started about the killing of 3 Israeli kids in 2014 Not sure if mentioned but "the loudest voice" was very good Link to post Share on other sites

Psimbo 5,023 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I forgot 'The Boys'- not normally my thing but I did enjoy it. Anthony Starr from Banshee is in it. Regarding the Norton books I would have liked to have begun at the start but there's only ten ebooks available, some of them are the standalones. Link to post Share on other sites

Looking very old, not surprising I suppose, he's nearly 80. Link to post Share on other sites
beechbum 1,205 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Maybe already mentioned but for a really good 7 part mini-series try "The Loudest Voice". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6821044/ Link to post Share on other sites

schlog 1,312 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Bad blood is back with season 2. I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 is a escalation in mafia action which is great and better then 1. Link to post Share on other sites
