EndedDocumentary show

In Shaun Micallef's Going For Broke, the famous writer, actor and comedian taps back into his curious side and sets out to understand a national obsession he's never quite grasped.

Shaun has never understood gambling. He uses cold, hard logic when making decisions and always plays for certainty. But as viewers saw in On The Sauce, even a teetotaller can be swayed - Shaun spent one episode getting drunk to better understand Australia's relationship with alcohol.

Now, he turns a sober eye to our love affair with gambling. Travelling across the country, Shaun meets punters, experts, and those affected by the industry to uncover how Australia became the biggest gambling nation in the world. From pokies in suburban pubs to high-stakes sports betting, Going For Broke asks: are we making a risky bet on our future?

Can even Shaun's rational mind resist the lure of a "sure thing"?

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
