The series tells the story of four very different Australians who have just finished jury duty on a high-profile murder trial. They think their jury experience has come to an end - but they soon learn they're very wrong. When they return back to their normal lives, they start second guessing their decision: have they let a killer go free? And if not, who really did kill the victim?

The Newsreader is set in the maelstrom of a commercial television newsroom in 1986. Dale Jennings is a diligent young reporter who is desperate to become a newsreader and Helen Norville is a notoriously 'difficult' star newsreader determined to build credibility. Over three months, the pair cover an extraordinary chain of news events from the shock of the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, to the hype of Halley's Comet and the complexities of the AIDS crisis. A deep bond is formed that will upend their lives and transform the very fabric of the nightly news bulletin.

This series follows politics in Australia, a satirical comedy that follows the decision making process within politics and then passing them off as something productive.
