New to ThreeNow in October

Human Error (every episode, October 8) is an Australian crime drama about an open-and-shut murder investigation that threatens to destroys a detective’s career, her family and her faith in justice.

Co-created by Underbelly’s Greg Haddrick and John Silvester, the true life-inspired six-part series stars Leeanna Walsman, Steve Bisley and Stephen Peacocke.

“Walsman delivers at every turn, remaining understated through a veritable shitstorm of demands pulling her in all directions,” TV Tonight said.

“Her performance never shoots for the ‘hero cop’ so prevalent in the genre, but strives for a righteous path, and getting back on it when the day goes awry.”

Spent (every episode, October 30) is a comedy-drama about an international catwalk model who becomes bankrupt and homeless.

The Baby’s Michelle De Swarte stars in a series she loosely based on her experiences as a model.

“There are clunky bits, but it is an astonishingly accomplished debut,” The Guardian said.

“I wait with eager anticipation – and just a touch of fear – to see what De Swarte will do next.”

Hotel Cocaine (stream first on October 21, later the same day on Three) is named after Miami’s Mutiny Hotel, which became the glamorous epicentre of the city’s cocaine scene in the late 1970s and early ’80s.

Critics bailed on the MGM+ series, complaining it “[doesn’t] add up to a great deal“.

Four Kings (every episode, October 4) is a docuseries about the golden age of British boxing that boasts unprecedented access to the boxers and their families:

Embellished with cultural context, this series shines a light on the effects that racism and social hatred had on their lives outside the ring, whilst exploring the positive impact of their legacy and the sacrifices they made to pave the way for future generations of the sport.

n00b (stream first, later the same day on Three) depicts a 2005 Gore teenager’s social downfall from an all-around-party animal after he is outed as gay and loses his place on the college’s rugby team.
