SERIES PREMIERE: Well, here’s something you don’t see very often: An Australian sci-fi series written by an Aboriginal, and setting up a near-future premise in which three Aussie populations coexist uneasily: white elites, Aboriginal natives, and a recently discovered third group known as the “hairies” – a humanoid species with exceptional speed and strength. The show’s title refers to one of the Aborginals, who adopts a sort of superhero alter identity. One thing’s for sure: You can’t read that plot synopsis and say, “Oh, not this again.”
