Last Seen

Uh, we-- before we get to our last review, we've had loads of, uh, emails in.

Last time I was with you, actually, we, um, um, were looking at Last Seen with Patrick, uh, Brammall.

And Dee has messaged in to say, "Thank you for your recommendation for Last Seen.

The acting of the whole cast is fantastic, and the cinematography is superb.

At points, the plot is slightly far-fetched, but I can't wait for the last episode on Wednesday." This is my only annoyance about this, that I, I don't like things that are released over weeks.

I'd just rather it all be there.

So when I'd finished a program with you talking about Last Seen, I couldn't watch the next one, which is just, quite frankly, annoying.

[laughs]

Who's your Pix Flix today, please, Pixie?

Uh, it is a very good Australian series called Last Seen.

It's on Apple TV.

It's a six-eper.

As I said, Colin from Accounts and the son in Moody Christmas, The Moodys, is very, very good.

A lot of, lot of love for this one.

Oh, someone didn't like Last, Last Seen was amateur hour.

No, it was good.

Mm-hmm.

And it's called Last Seen.

Ash.

Have you started it on?

I looked at, I looked him up.

I looked him up, and I'm going to find his name because he's actually brilliant.

In Last Seen the actor in it, his name is Patrick Brammall.

Brammall.

I am speaking, of course, of Patrick Brammall, the actor and writer who you most likely know from co-creating and co-starring in Australian comedy Colin From Accounts with his wife Harriet Dyer.

That show concluded its three-season run last month, and Patrick quickly followed that up with Apple TV miniseries Last Seen, which is very, very intense.

And perhaps most important to the canon of this podcast, he once played the absentee husband on Paramount+ drama Evil, where he received one of the most insane B plots in contemporary TV history.

We talk about all of that and the fact that his eldest child is entirely nonplussed by the fact that he occasionally provides voice work on Bluey.

You've all been having my year.

But what does that look like from the inside? Like, having your show go out after three seasons, incredibly successful, a lot of growth, much love.

You have this pivot to drama with the show Last Seen, and you are in one of the bigger films of the year.

Does it-

So many digressions already.

So Apple TV and this show is called Last Scene, an Australian thriller.

Anybody who listens to just these conversations, which I know there's some of you just listen, if you're not watching a show, I would actually highly recommend this as a binge, six episodes.

So just kind of off the top, I'm going to announce that before handing over the microphone to Sona.

And this is based on the book.

I'm pretty sure the book does not have any additional content.

But as far as what you could envision possibly being a season two, it wouldn't be a thriller is basically what I was going to say.

I don't think it's going to be a thriller.

It's-

Yeah, I guess it's a, I guess it's a combo of a s- it's a psychological thriller.

Yep.

Yeah.

And it's just a better psychological thriller than 90% of the ones that you see-

Yeah

... that are kind of churned out on all the big major streamers.

Go ahead.
